Known for its incredible wildlife and vast, icy landscapes, Antarctica is a dream destination for many. Just not for Max Lapointe. Yet after the most difficult year of her life, that’s exactly where she finds alone at the bottom of the world and ready to board the Polar Star on a twenty-three-day expedition cruise that will take her to Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands. Angry and afraid, Max does her best to keep to herself. But in doing so, she attracts the interest of Reid. Popular, charming, and ridiculously gorgeous, he’s determined to bring Max out of her shell and figure out what she’s hiding. Sparks fly and tension rises as playful banter turns into something more. The only problem? Max is a guest, and Reid is a member of the expedition crew. Which means that any relationship between them is strictly forbidden. With Reid’s entire future on the line, should this onboard romance be left to fizzle and die? Or is it worth taking the plunge?
