Her father is her hero; he taught her to fly.
Ivy blames her mother for her parent's separation.
Romance? It's a weak second on her list--until Alex arrives at her family's remote and exclusive Raven Lodge. He's signed on to build much-needed cabins.
But he also has a powerful agenda, and a broken heart.
Grief is an unpredictable thing. It makes slaves of its victims. Alex doesn't know if his pain will eveeal enough to let him love again.
In a last-ditch effort to find peace, he's going to trace the route his father took in 1988, when he disappeared in this rugged and dangerous territory, never to be heard from again.
All Alex has of his father is a series of letters his mother received all those years ago. But now his battered knapsack turns up at the police station. And with it, Alex learns that Ivy's father has been less than honest. Is it his fault the young, idealistic man disappeared all those years ago? If so, what will it do to the growing attraction between him and Ivy?
The large Pierce family owns and operates Raven Lodge, and as with all close-knit families, secrets and lies abound, including the vital information Alex is searching for.
The bond between Ivy and Alex grows stronger every day, but so do their reservations.
Families, complications, broken hearts, and danger.
Is there space and time enough, even in Alaska, for love to grow?
Best-selling writer Bobby Hutchinson writes stories about almost everything, as long as everything involves romance, quirky people, outrageous kids, deafness, time travel, or medicine, with most of which she's familiar.
(Well, maybe not time travel. But who knows?)
She lives in a funky little cottage in Cranbrook, B.C., a small city in the Canadian Rockies. In the summer, she hauls her very small travel trailer, Calamity Jane, to campgrounds. In the winter, she hibernates.
She faints at the sight of blood, although her best-selling medical romance series, Emergency, does have the occasional scene involving bodily fluids.
She's written over 60 books, mostly romance, with a few memoirs tossed in. How Not To Run A B&B, set in Vancouver, was chosen by the Kootenay Library Association as Best Book of the Year, and is now being made into a film.
She lives in the land of possibility. And she's now writing faster than ever, because at 83, who knows when she'll head off to seek the Great Perhaps?
