Crashing Into Love

She took the job in Alaska's wilderness to prove herself. Instead her journey to love is the adventure.

City nurse Riley Thompson has her future perfectly mapped out—until her career path went off course in the Alaskan wilderness. Now she's stranded in a remote village where schedules mean nothing and the local traditions dictate daily life. The only bright spot? The magnetic village elder who saved her life and sees right through her polished outer image.

Mary's wisdom as a Yu'pik elder has guided her people through countless storms, but talking a drunk pilot into landing safety—and saving a beautiful city nurse in the process—might be her greatest test yet. But the last thing her carefully balanced life needs is a wildly unprepared outsider that clashes with the traditions Mary is sworn to protect.

While working side by side in the village clinic, Riley and Mary are drawn together. Mary's traditional Yu'pik wisdom calms Riley's constant need to prove herself, while Riley's boundless enthusiasm awakens Mary to possibilities she'd never imagined. They're falling in love but their different lives threaten to keep them apart. With Riley's career pulling her back to city life and Mary's deep commitment to her people's traditions anchoring her to the village, they face the ultimate question…

Can love bridge the gap between their worlds, or will tradition and personal ambition pull their hearts in opposite directions?
