Publisher Description
Dr. Quinn meets Bridgerton in this historical novel set on the Alaskan frontier.
Maggie McDougal is determined to save her family's business after her parents' sudden deaths. And if that means leaving the sandy shores of Lake Michigan and traveling across the country to Washington Territory in search of her brother so he can claim the business, then so be it. Anything is better than watching the family shipyard she loves fall into her uncle's greedy, conniving hands.
The trouble is, when the ship that her brother works on arrives in Bellingham, her brother isn't on it. But Captain Sacha Amos is. And when he offers to take Maggie north to Alaska where she can meet her brother on his new ship, she has little choice about saying yes.
Except Alaska doesn't turn out quite like she thought, at least not after she meets the gruff captain's large, sprawling, family. A family that happens to include one sister who's a doctor, another who's a lawyer, and two half siblings that the family loves against all odds.
But there's danger lurking beneath the icy waves of the Bering Sea, and when Sacha's actions at sea put the Amos family in the crosshairs of a powerful enemy, Maggie must decide where her loyalties lie, and how far she's willing to go to protect the things that matter most.
From a USA Today bestselling author comes a frontier family saga filled with a protector hero, forced-proximity, found family, and love that heals wounded hearts.
Customer Reviews
Would I be that brave?
Braver than most, she took her half-siblings she is responsible for to Alaska with very little money and less experience traveling to find her brother. Their family business/home/heritage was in jeopardy and without him, her Uncle would succeed in taking it all from her.
Though confused by her story and the lack of familiar resemblance to the man he’d hired and was on another ship, he did the honorable thing and took her under his protection.
What would you do if almost everything you thought was your purpose and goal disappeared and you had the freedom to choose…would you be strong enough to hold onto the desires you have for marriage or would you do the “sensible” thing?? I am inspired by her…and wonder if she even realizes she isn’t thinking of herself…but her mother and refusing to repeat history by “doing life” mostly alone.
A family you’ll fall in love with
If you love history, adventure, faith and romance then this is the book for you. Clean read. I love this new family. The Amoses are the best. Sacha and Maggie are meant to be. This book can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading as a series. Can’t wait for the next one. Love this author and her character development. I fall in love each time.
