Arctic Sun

Griffin Barrett, a former soldier who now lives alone in the Alaskan wilderness, works as a wildlife guide and flies a bush plane. He chose solitude to protect his sobriety and has no intention of slipping back into the habits that once controlled him. When he is hired to guide River Vale, a famous fashion model who has built his life around chasing adventure, Griffin finds himself drawn to someone he knows he shouldn't pursue. River has never wanted to stay in one place, and Griffin is the first person who has made him consider it. Neither man wants to give in, but they spend their days in close quarters, and each step toward the other makes it harder to keep their distance.
