From award winning author Kelly Collins comes a small town, single dad, neighbors-to-lovers romance… When teacher Timber Moore applies for a job in tiny Port Promise, Alaska, her quest is to educate the youth and uncover the identity of the father she's never known. Port Promise, with its whispering woods and close-knit community, holds the key to her past. But her arrival stirs up more than just a summer breeze. Kane Hollister, a single father and seasoned fisherman, has learned the hard way that outsiders bring storms. He's still mending nets from when a charismatic do-gooder sailed in and out of his life, leaving him with a child to raise alone. His walls are up, but Timber has a knack for finding the cracks in his defenses. She’s a woman with a lesson plan but no map for her heart's journey. He’s a man whose trust is as scarce as daylight in winter. Can they move beyond their pasts to chart a future together, or will history's echoes dictate their fate? Set against the rugged backdrop of a small Alaskan island, Timber Ridge weaves together the warmth of community, the pain of the past, and the soft whisper of love that says, "home isn't just a place."

The last thing injured oil rig worker Matt Ryder wants at Crystal Creek Retreat is romance—he came to the remote Alaskan lodge to heal, not fall in love. When a fierce snowstorm traps him with Eliza, his best friend's sister and the lodge's determined temporary caretaker, isolation forces them together. With her brother away, Eliza Hollister has everything to prove. But as an avalanche cuts them off from civilization, she finds herself sharing close quarters with a man who threatens the walls she's built. In a place where survival depends on trust, falling in love might be the biggest risk of all. Get snowed in with this steamy, forced proximity romance where the Alaskan wilderness isn't the only thing that's wild.
