With a broken heart, Aurora moved to California and never planned on looking back. And yet, six years later, Aurora finds herself back in Wild River to serve as maid of honor at her best friend's wedding. There's only one problem: Tyler is the best man. Aurora expects an awkward reunion, but she doesn't count on rekindling the flame that still burns between them...or having to team up with him to search for the runaway bride!

Kendra wouldn’t be so upset if he was just another colleague, but she and Nolan have history. The two shared a steamy week together at a sales conference months ago, and Kendra came away feeling that their connection was real. At least, until Nolan ghosted her as soon as the conference was over. Kendra just wants to move on and focus on her job, but a forced work retreat makes avoiding Nolan impossible. Roughing it in the Alaskan wilderness isn’t exactly Kendra’s idea of a good time, and when Nolan is assigned as her partner for the trip, she’ll have to channel her pain into competitive energy to prove she’s over him…even when sleeping next to him in their tiny shelter tells her heart she’s not

The longer he stays, the closer they get, but Arron’s only going to leave again. Alisha’s built a life in Wild River and wants to stay in one place.
