Grey's Anatomy, meet Northern Exposure... Lee Tipton, MD, takes running from her past to an extreme, hotfooting it from Georgia to a temporary position at Yukon Valley Hospital in chilly Alaska. Her newly purchased winter gear may protect her from the elements, but no amount of insulation can protect her from her deep-seated fear that a romantic partner will once again use her for personal gains. Despite the hospital staff's matchmaking efforts, Lee swears she has no interest in the town's cocky lead paramedic, even if his sexy smile sets off palpitations. Maverick Steen learned his one simple rule of romance the hard way: no dating outsiders. That includes the hospital's newest fish-out-of-water doctor, whom he finds himself paired with as they navigate critical care cases and snowmobile accidents. Yet when Lee embraces the beauty in the Alaskan interior and cottons to his sled dog team of misfits, suddenly, Maverick's heart-and his bed-feel a whole lot warmer. But can they say yes to love before Lee's assignment ends? "Jillian David manages to make Alaska hot even in the winter. It may be cold outside but it's hot under the covers." - Susan Carlisle, award-winning romance author
