True North

She was the wildcard he never expected to be dealt...

Lena

I'm a woman in exile.

Well . . . okay, maybe that's a little extreme. My boss called it a temporary leave of absence, right before he offered me a promotion on my way out the door.

What does one do with two weeks to kill and big life decisions to make? If you're me, you hop a plane to Alaska for a solitary retreat.

I wanted silence and tranquility. The time and space to think. I wasn't prepared for what I got: THE Wes Emerson.

The Australian actor is too gorgeous-and too irresistible-for his own good. An infuriating mix of cocky and charismatic, he's made it his mission to antagonize me.

But no matter how much I want to believe his flirting is genuine, I'm not stupid. Let's be real, Wes is way out of my league, and I'll be an afterthought as soon as this vacation is over.

Wes

It was supposed to be a guys' trip.

Just me and my best mates at a remote lodge in Alaska's Far North. They promised a breather from the stifling attention. Nature. Seclusion. Two weeks with no cameras, no autographs, and definitely no women.

Tell that to the snarky New York nurse who snagged the resort's last vacancy.

Lena Hamilton is the wildcard I never expected to be dealt.

She's got a dirty mind and a smart mouth. She doesn't just rattle my cage, she bites back, pushing buttons I didn't know I had. Her soft heart and fiery spirit make me ache for things I've sworn off for years. Something more. Something deeper.

Lena doesn't believe I truly want her, but when we find ourselves at the mercy of the Alaskan wilderness, she has no choice but to trust me.

TRUE NORTH is Book One in the Compass Series. Warning: this novel contains snarky banter, tundra-melting sexual tension, the northern lights, shared tents, campfires, and frenzied forest shenanigans.
