After being left at the altar, California girl Sabrina Tate needs to make a fast getaway. With her famous overbearing parents and the paparazzi hot on her heels, where else is a jilted bride to go to lick her wounds but Alaska? With only her tropical honeymoon clothes in tow, she makes her escape. For two weeks, she’ll live on her own and prove to herself—and her family—that she can make it without a husband.
Zak Forrester is a man on a mission. He’s turned his rugged yet luxurious Alaskan lodge into a hotspot for hunters, all in the hope to make up for a painful event in his past. But when Sabrina—one of the rare women to enter his rugged realm—stumbles into his world, he can’t get rid of her fast enough. He has no time for her yoga, vegetarian meal requests, or Scrabble.
Soon, neither can resist the other, and two hearts collide. With time ticking away, they have to decide where they belong. Is a life in a different world better than being a world apart?

Why can’t the good guy get the girl? While I enjoy a bad-boy hero just as much as the next reader, I love a book even more if the nerd-boy hero gets the girl. My heroes in all my books ride the line in between bad-boy and nerd-boy; they are good guys. They have some bad-boy thoughts, but they don’t act on them. They are sexy, athletic, handsome, and for the most part thoughtful guys.
They aren’t CEO executives or they aren’t extremely wealthy, they are down-to-earth, they are real, they make a comfortable living, and they love their families. They are the type of heroes I love the most.
I think this idea of why can’t the good guy get the girl formed in my mind when my high school aged son was so heartbroken over a recent breakup. I remember him saying, every girl he’d ever dated had broken up with him. He’d never been the one to initiate the break up. This broke my heart. I remember thinking, but he’s such a nice guy. I’m sure every mom thinks that about their son, but I also thought back to my high school days and how many of the girls wanted to date the bad boys, the boys who got into trouble. There is a certain appeal to that kind of guy, I understand that, but what about all those good guys out there? Don’t they deserve to find love and have a happily-ever-after ending? So I’ve made it my mission to make sure those nice guys get the girl.
