Nothing is easy about life above the Arctic Circle. Except, perhaps, falling in love. Bryson Faulkner embraces the challenges that come with making a home in one of the  most beautiful but unforgiving places on earth: the isolation of the endless wilderness, the  harsh and unpredictable climate, the predators that lurk about her remote cabin, and even  the most perilous dangers of all--those that await her when she takes to the skies as one  of Alaska's most daring bush pilots. The only thing missing is a special woman to share it  all with, but she's resigned herself to the fact that few people can thrive in such an  extreme environment. Everything Karla Edwards thought she knew gets called into question when a series of  events turns her comfortable and well-ordered life on its ear. Her partner leaves her, her  mother dies, and Karla learns she has a sister in Alaska she never knew. She takes a leave  of absence from her job as an ER nurse in Atlanta and heads to the far north, seeking  answers and adventure. She finds all that and more when she crosses paths with a sexy  bush pilot who opens her eyes to new possibilities. But can she open her heart as well and  learn to trust again?   There are times when a picture doesn't just say it all - it changes everything.  Isabel Sterling isn't even aware she has been entered in the Sophisticated Women 'Watch  Your Dreams Come True' contest, so it comes as a complete surprise to learn she has won  not only a makeover she doesn't want or need, but also the chance to appear on the  cover of a national magazine and an all expense paid trip for two to exotic locales.  Photographer Natasha Kashnikova is a cynical celebrity playgirl who is barreling toward  full, midlife-crisis mode when she agrees to take on the Sophisticated Women shoot as a  favor for a friend. Kash is convinced that every woman who shows an interest in her has  ulterior motives, so love is not on her agenda—and certainly not with some naive romantic  during an assignment from Hell.  For Blayne Keller, being in the wrong place at the wrong time just might turn  out to be the best thing that ever happened to her. Once she stops running  for her life.  A typical day at a Chicago travel agency turns deadly when Blayne becomes a witness to  a mafia murder. Overnight, her life is turned upside down and she is thrust into WITSEC,  the Federal Witness Protection Program. But the mob is determined to keep her from  testifying, and has someone on the inside leaking information about her every move. Only  Alexi Nikolos, a beautiful WITSEC Inspector with an agenda of her own, can keep Blayne  alive, and it’s not an easy task when the sparks between them are flying faster than the  bullets aimed at their heads.  Danger, destiny, and romance on the river. Megan Maxwell is perfectly content with her life just as it is. As Vice President of World  News Central, she has power, prestige, money, connections, and no lack of willing bed  partners, so it takes several shots of tequila and a good bit of cajoling to convince her to  join her friends on a whitewater kayak trip in northern Alaska. But the grandeur of the Last  Great Frontier and the unexpected allure of her tour guide give her a whole new  perspective on what is really important.  Biology professor and adventure guide Chaz Herrick believes she can only find happiness  in the wilderness of her adopted home state, and she expects that when she finally falls in  love, it will be with someone very much like herself. When she finds herself falling hard for  a big city workaholic who seems to invite disaster at every turn, it’s not just rough water  that has her worried. Wind. Fire. Ice. Love.  Nothing for Gable McCoy and Erin Richards seems to go smoothly. From the tornado  that sets its sights on them, to the perils they face as volunteer firefighters, the forces  of nature conspire to bring them close to danger, and closer to each other.  When the hunter becomes the hunted…do you trust your instincts or your heart?  A killer for hire, Katarzyna Demetrious has grown weary of her violent and solitary life.  Contemplating retirement, she has gone into hiding in her remote bunker home as a  blizzard rages outside. But her seclusion is shattered by the appearance of a mysterious  stranger, and, with a price tag on her head, Kat is thrust into the most perilous situation  she has ever faced. Can she outwit the assassins on her trail? And could the woman she  rescues…and is unexpectedly attracted to…be the deadliest of them all?  Pages: 296 Pub Date: March2005 ISBN: 978-1-933110-09-7 Pages: 248 Pub Date: August 2009 ISBN: 978-1-60282-087-6 Pages: 240 Pub Date: September 2005 ISBN: 978-1-933110-23-3 Pages: 296 Pub Date: February 2007 ISBN: 978-1-933110-68-4 Pages: 216 Pub Date: October 2007 ISBN: 978-1-933110-92-9 Pages: 208 Pub Date: May 2006 ISBN: 978-1-933110-38-7 December 2011 ISBN: 978-1602825802 No risk is too high. No adventure too daunting. Emery Lawson reinvents herself after another near-death experience prompts a  thorough reevaluation of her priorities. Empowered to live a life of no regrets, she casts  aside all that is familiar to face her fears and chase her dreams. But as she heads for  the wilds of Alaska, romance is definitely not on her agenda, because she’s convinced  she’s incapable of falling in love.   Pascha Dunn has learned to expect the unexpected, in her job with an Adventure  Outfitter in the remote Alaskan interior. Adaptability is essential in such a savage and  unforgiving landscape. But she’s woefully unprepared when her infallible intuition tells  her that client Emery Lawson is the soul mate she’s been waiting for all her life. Emery  is clearly determined to remain unattached, and her high-risk vagabond lifestyle is too  far outside Pasha’s comfort zone. All that they think they want and know will be challenged when the two are thrust into  a nightmare of survival and endurance high above the Arctic Circle.  Kim Baldwin Pages
