For Kendall Martin, a small, remote village in Southwest Alaska seems like a good place to start over. On the run from an abusive relationship, she leaves everything familiar behind and begins a new life as owner of a small souvenir and sportsman trading post in picturesque Staamat.
Denn Nulo knows everyone in town: he’s the Chief of Police in Staamat. He’s lived there all his life, except for … except for his college years, spent in Anchorage. Originally planning on practicing criminal law and living in Anchorage permanently, Denn is forced to change his plans when he receives word that his widowed mother has passed away, leaving his young sister, Luna, alone. Denn comes back to Staamat to care for Luna.
When Kendall meets Denn, she begins to believe there are truly good men in the world. Denn is everything she wants: strong, loving, dedicated to family, protective… and patient. There is instant attraction between them, but Kendall is leery of men, and Denn craves a serious relationship that includes marriage and children. Their courtship is a conflicting mix of hesitancy and passion, with Luna, desperately needing a mother figure in her life, cheering them on.
As Kendall learns how to trust again and her romance with Denn grows more intense, a local woman who’s had her eye on Denn for years releases a torrent of damaging jealousy… and the nightmare from Kendall’s past discovers where she’s hidden herself.

Very riveting story!
This was such a great book. I hated for it to end. It held my interest from the first page.
Did not really enjoy this book, too long….. Predictably
This was a good book the character were great.
It had a different twist to it I enjoyed the story line
Enjoyed this book! While some things were predictable (of COURSE the estranged ex-fiance will turn up), many other things were completely surprising!
Really evil ex is almost a stereotype psychopath. Sweet love story with few twists.
I enjoyed the book. I thought I could pretty much guess what was going to happen but the author surprised me. It was full of twists and turns.
The story was underdeveloped
I enjoyed this book! Follows a woman who has the courage to relocate to Alaska, change her identity, and do what it takes to escape an abusive man. Good story, entertaining read.
loved this book very good
This book kept my attention the female character was strong and smart and the male character supportive and strong
A real page turner. Couldn’t put it down.
Some of the characters stay in your mind. Makes you wonder who you know can turn on a dime?
fun read
Great characters. Couldn’t put it down!
Kept me interested from the start .Admired Kendall’s creativeness and caring.
Great book!
The one place where it fell apart is when one character, a type 1 diabetic has missed a shot and is given candy. Nope. Wrong thing to do. That bothered me to no end.
