Cassandra Lowell is a free spirit taking herself wherever the wind blows. When she blew into Anchorage, Alaska she needed a job. Working at Poison Pen ticks off all her requirements. She gets to work in a fun atmosphere and drool over muscle bound bodies all day long. She may seem ditzy but she is the most organized person she knows. When Arin and her husband invested in a gym to keep up their self defense lessons, Jacob came highly recommended through a mutual friend. Looking to retire from MMA, Jake jumped at the chance to go off-grid. Having lived his life in the limelight, he loves the peace he finds in Alaska. A peace that ends the moment he meets outgoing, exuberant Cassandra. When Cass’ past closes in, will she blow out of town just as quickly as she blew in? Can Jake convince her he’s strong enough to protect them both?
