Ice Falls
2024
From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Jennifer Bernard comes a new sizzling suspense series set in the Alaskan wilderness.
From childhood misfit to successful attorney, Molly Evans wouldn’t be the strong, independent force of nature she is today without the support of her three best friends—and one of them is missing. On a mission to find answers, she tracks Lila all the way to Firelight Ridge, Alaska, a wild outpost where Molly sticks out like a sore thumb in her designer duds and desperate search for Wi-Fi. Regardless, just days after arriving, she can’t resist getting sucked into the mystery surrounding a local’s death, a group of reclusive settlers…and a surly but undeniably attractive pilot.
Sam Coburn has carefully cultivated a lone-wolf persona since moving to Firelight Ridge, necessary for a job he’s reluctantly agreed to take on. Then Molly Evans steps onto his plane, and he just knows the gorgeous redhead is about to make his life interesting. She’s as fierce as she is feisty…and it’s not long before she inadvertently provides him access to an isolated wilderness family he’s tried and failed to get close to for over a year. But it turns out they are excessively interested in Molly…a potentially dangerous turn of events Sam didn’t see coming.
Throw in a teen runaway, a shooting, sexual attraction as dazzling as the endless Alaska sky, and a potentially catastrophic event, and Sam and Molly’s breathtaking adventure could end up either life-altering…or life-ending.

Fire Peak
2024
From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Jennifer Bernard comes a new sizzling suspense romance set in the Alaskan wilderness.
Charlie Santa Lucia knows all about trouble; that’s what happens when you’re a secret Robin Hood targeting corporate greed. For Charlie, being able to spring her father from prison for a crime he didn’t commit was worth all the trouble in the world. But it appears she’s gotten sloppy; a handsome PI is on her tail, and he chases her all the way to the only place she can find safe harbor—with her friends in Firelight Ridge, Alaska. When she takes a job at stunning Fire Peak Lodge, she’s promptly plunged into a mystery that finds her embroiled in even more trouble that she’s used to.
Nick Perini never leaves a job unfinished, but Charlie has so far bested him at every turn. The brainy beauty gave him the slip in Alaska…which is a place his newfound teen daughter happens to want to visit. Chasing Charlie, getting to know his daughter, and solving mini-mysteries for the locals makes for a pretty hectic “vacation.” When Charlie gets him tangled in a case involving the area’s most majestic mountain, his holiday goes from hectic to downright hazardous.
The deeper Nick and Charlie dive into the mysteries of Fire Peak, the closer they come to unearthing forty-year-old secrets that some will do anything to protect—and one secret that others will kill to claim.

Smoky Lake
2024
Will they be able to escape with their lives...and their hearts?
Firelight Ridge has always felt like another world to Doctor Ani Devi—but now things are getting even stranger. Military members have suddenly appeared in town and she was just questioned about a man she treated at the airport. Sure, she’d rather nurse the emotional wounds that sent her fleeing to the remote Alaska outpost, but she can’t abandon her job, and the strange events are a worthy distraction. Though she never imagined her search for answers would land her on the doorstep of a wildly attractive stranger.
Gil McGowan is a born protector, so when his friend Victor begs him for help right before he disappears, Gil is determined to find out what’s going on. Maybe it would be easier without a beautiful woman along, but he promised Victor he’d protect Ani—from what, he wouldn’t say. Gil is sure Victor’s being paranoid, until he and Ani barely escape an explosion on the shores of Smoky Lake. Things just got real, and more dangerous than they know.
Now Gil and Ani are racing against time and from enemies unknown to unravel a mystery that started deep in the Alaskan permafrost and now threatens the town of Firelight Ridge—while fighting chemistry hot enough to light up Smoky Lake.

Snow River
2024
In Firelight Ridge, Lila Romanoff's unusual intuitive abilities have stayed (mostly) silent—until now. When she starts having dream conversations with a murdered local, it’s time to skedaddle. But she only gets as far as the overlook on Snow River before she can’t go any farther, and it’s not just because she runs out of gas (don’t ask). Her gut literally won’t let her leave. Maybe it’s her feelings for her huge hunk of a boss at the local bar. Or maybe it’s the mystery about the unfold around the dead woman on the banks of the river below…
Bear Davis always knew his employee would flit out of town sooner or later. Lila is sunshine itself, and with winter fast approaching, he’s not surprised she’s ready to take her light elsewhere…but he’s also not about to object when she abruptly decides to stay. And when she starts digging into the recent murder on Snow River? Well, as an ex-cop (don’t ask), there’s no one better suited to make sure she stays safe while they nose around.
When the recent death appears connected to a decades-old murder spree that involved Lila’s dream visitor, everything seems to point back to Snow River. As Bear and Lila follow clues that include local lore, old gossip, and even mysterious pranks, the couple gets closer and closer. Both to each other…and to an explosive truth someone will do anything to keep hidden deep in the wilds of Alaska.

Thunder Pass
2025
She ran from a cult. He’s chasing a ghost. Together, they might just outrun the past.
Ruth Chilkoot has daddy issues. She thought they were taken care of when her father Luke went to prison. But suddenly he’s back, and the family is becoming more cult-like than ever. It’s time for Ruth to make her escape. Nearby Firelight Ridge is eye-opening for a woman who’s spent her life in seclusion. She’s already learned the hard way—courtesy of the handsome local mechanic—that a kiss doesn’t equal marriage in the “real” world. Thanks to that humiliation, she keeps her distance from Gunnar. Fortunately, she has something to focus on—discovering what nefarious plans her father is concocting at the family compound.
Gunnar Amundsen also has daddy issues. His father Anthony disappeared from Firelight Ridge years ago and hasn’t been seen since. But Gunnar knows his dad’s still alive, and so he’s stayed in the tiny Alaskan village, running the only gas station, becoming entrenched in his community…and trying to forget the shy, beguiling redhead from the Chilkoot clan he never should have kissed. Fortunately, his half-sister gives him a mystery to chase—someone has spotted their father. His trail, shockingly, leads right back to the Chilkoots.
As Ruth and Gunnar’s investigations converge, the pair gets closer and closer. But the revelations they uncover about both their fathers are just the start. Powerful outside forces have set their sights on the tiny outpost, and it’ll be up to Ruth and Gunnar to save the town…right after they save each other.
