Isla When my mom passes away, I take my half of the inheritance to fulfill her dream of visiting Alaska. I sell everything, secure a waitressing job, and buy a 4Runner to make the trip. My sister thinks I’m crazy. But it’s not as if I won’t know anyone in Three Rivers. Theron lives there now. I haven’t seen him since I was a little girl and he was leaving for the Army. I’m not prepared for how incredibly hot he’s gotten. Alaska doesn’t feel so lonely now with Theron watching out for me. But can I get him to see me as more than the kid from next door? Theron When Isla calls me with car trouble just outside of town, I don’t hesitate to come to her rescue. I used to help out her family when I was a teenager living next door. Back then, she was just a kid. But when I find her on the side of the road, there’s nothing but a voluptuous woman now. I try to keep my attraction to her tamped deep down, but it’s almost impossible when one thing after another pushes us together. It doesn’t take me long to realize that Isla is the one for me. The one I’m meant to protect, to love, and to build a life with. And I’ll do whatever it takes to prove it to her. The six of us made a pact. We’ve survived basic together, shared duty stations, and gone to war together. But the needs of the Army have separated us multiple times. That’s why we agreed that when each of us got out, we’d each settle down in the same mountainside town of Three Rivers. It was a favorite place to get away on holiday weekends when the six of us were stationed together in Alaska, and as veterans now we can’t imagine anywhere better. A place filled with fresh mountain air, friendly people who are there when you need them but happy to keep to themselves when you don’t, and unexpected love none of us saw coming.

Charmane When my transmission dies, I’m forced to do the one thing I swore I’d never do: Ask Blaine Stark for a favor. With a massive snowstorm on the way, it’s my last chance to make a trip up the mountain to bring my dear friend supplies until spring. It’s just a quick trip. Except the storm comes early, trapping us. Forcing us to share a cabin. Making it impossible to fight my attraction to the one man I’ve sworn off. So I strike a deal. Blaine I’ve been stuck on Charmane since the first night I saw her. Only I was an idiot and went about things all wrong. What I felt for her the instant I saw her scared me. I tried to cling to my playboy ways, but I couldn’t escape the truth. Charmane is the only woman I want—ever again. I’d do anything for her, including giving her a ride in a dangerous storm. But if she thinks what happens during our time stranded together will be nothing more than a secret fling, she’s got things very wrong. She’s mine. The one I always secretly hoped to find but never believed I would. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove to her that she’s the only one for me. The six of us made a pact.

Jensen I swore off women years ago, sick and tired of watching all those closest to me suffering from relationships gone sour. I’m a loner. I don’t need anyone except my dog. But when I meet my buddy’s wife’s sister Nova, I’m drawn to her in a way I can’t fight. I quickly find myself at the mercy of this charming curvy beauty. She fills a part of me I never knew needed to be whole. I resist her as long as I can, but it’s futile. She’s not supposed to stay, but I’ve warned her more than once that I don’t let what’s mine go. Nova I swore I’d never visit Alaska, even after my sister moved there. But after a discovering in late mom’s journal, I’ve had a change of heart. I’m in Three Rivers for answers. But when I first lay eyes on Jensen, a military veteran turned Alaska mountain man, everything changes. He has an iron wall around his heart, and I’m determined to break through his armor if it’s the last thing I do. I didn’t come here to fall in love, but it’s happening anyway.

Macy I never expected to see Talon again. After the way we left things, I figured it was for the best. Until my brother begs me to track down my ex-husband and get him to come to his wedding. I try everything I can think of, but all my summons go ignored. Which leaves me with only one choice: go to Alaska and drag Talon on a plane. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t want to see me. Or that he’s refusing to go to the wedding. The old feelings—and flames—ignite immediately. We might irritate each other, but we can’t seem to keep our hands to ourselves. The chemistry between us has always been off the charts. I could so easily fall in love again with the man who drives me up the wall. But I’ve kept a secret from Talon. One I know he won’t forgive. Talon Macy and I have been married and divorced twice. After the way things ended the last time, I never expected to see her again. I tried to move on. Tried to find someone who made me feel even half of what I always felt with the woman who drives me wild—and completely crazy. When Macy tracks me down in Three Rivers and tries to strong-arm me into attending her brother’s wedding, I’m not happy to see her. But the more persistent she becomes, the less I can resist the pull between us. The chemistry is undeniably sizzling. I could easily fall for the only woman I’ve ever loved—again.

Charlotte When my best friend asked me to abandon the city for the small-town life, I took a chance and said yes. I was unhappy in the corporate world and ready for a change. I also made a promise to focus on myself for one year. A whole year to avoid all complications, especially of the male variety. That promise was a whole lot easier to keep until Brooks Montgomery showed up in my life. The man is determined to win me over, no matter how many times I shoot him down. He promises he won’t stop until I give in. The secret truth? I don’t want him to. Brooks I’ve known since the first moment I saw Charlotte that she was meant to be mine. I’ve come into the coffee shop every day in pursuit of her. I’m relentless when I see something I want. Day after day she shoots me down. Until her best friend decides to help me out.

Aspen I can’t think of a better place to spend my last week in Alaska than in Three Rivers. Twenty years as a pilot in the Army has come and gone. Many of the veterans I served with have settled in the small town. It’s only fitting I spend my last days catching up with them. Plus, I’m determined to show my bestie a good time.

Eve I’m a romance writer on a deadline. My readers want me to write a mountain man series. Only, I’ve never ever seen a mountain man much less know how to write one. So I book a stay at a cabin outside the small town of Three Rivers hoping it’ll inspire me. It’s perfect, until it’s disruptively noisy. The serene experience I expect from a remote cabin in the Alaska wilderness is drown out by construction. I’m livid enough to give demand a full refund. Until I lay eyes on the sexy solo builder. He’s exactly the type of hero my readers want me write about. What harm could a little inspiration proposition do? Unless I fall in love with him. Slade After a bad breakup and too many nights spent drowning my sorrows with a bottle, I decide enough is enough. I need something constructive to occupy my time. I buy a remote property with two cabins. I move into one, list the other as an Air B&B, and immediately get to work on building another. My first customer is a writer who promises not to bother me. It’s perfect. Until she confronts me about all the noise I’m making. Which is why I’m completely thrown off when the curvy beauty changes her tune and asks me to be her inspiration for a romance series. It’s the perfect fling. Except I don’t think I can let her go. It doesn’t take me long to realize she’s the one I no longer believed existed. The one I was always meant to find. If only I can convince her to stay. We all made a pact.
