She came to Alaska to escape from the hurt. He came back to the place that took the most.

When I found out my ex was cheating on me with my best friend, I lost my baby, my marriage, and my best friend in one swoop. Months later, I packed up the broken pieces of my life and took a job at Heartfire Falls Resort in Alaska.

When Lincoln Silver walks into my office, I take in his tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed presence and tell my pulse to chill out. The Silver family owns the resort, so technically I work for Lincoln.

Lincoln left this place years ago after a wildfire took part of his heart. He came home because he couldn't stay away forever. He's a firefighter now, spending his life protecting everyone else from the very thing that nearly broke him.

We keep bumping into each other in the dark hours when we can’t sleep. Both of us pretend we're getting water.

I'm still receiving apology texts from my ex-bestie. When Lincoln discovers me crying after reading one, he protects me. From texts. He’s that kind of man.

I came here to Alaska for a fresh start. I wasn't expecting him. I wasn't expecting to want anything from anyone again. I definitely wasn't expecting to find someone whose nights feel like mine.

A steamy he-falls-first, slow-burn, hurt/comfort small town Alaska romance about a woman rebuilding herself after betrayal, a man dealing with grief and loss, and the kind of love that arrives in the middle of the night.
