Northbound

2015

Quinn Sawyer didn't apply for a temporary job at the remote O'Connor Adventure Retreat all the way in Alaska because he wants a change of scenery. He loves his sunny Florida, and he's only heading north because he needs answers from Declan O'Connor, the man who dated Quinn's aunt six years ago. One day, Declan was just gone, and it had been the beginning of hell for Quinn. Most of his family suddenly hated him and still blames him for Declan ending the relationship with Quinn's aunt, though nobody will tell Quinn why. He deserves to know how it could've possibly been his fault, and he's not going to let the crush he harbored for Declan stand in the way. After finally tracking down Declan, Quinn gets on a plane. Or death machine, as he prefers to call it. But in his quest to find out the truth, he discovers there's a lot more to the Land of the Midnight Sun than seeking answers.

Northland

2015

Two years ago, Logan Ward got the surprise of his life when he discovered he was the father of a two-year-old little boy. Professionally and romantically adrift, he devoted all his time and energy to caring for his son. But now he's searching for more, and accepting a job in Alaska will give him a fresh start. Along the way, he can only hope work out the rest. Minor things, really. Like how to create a home for him and his boy, figuring out whether or not he's into men, and how to find his place in a new culture where a young girl is better with a rifle than he is. Kyle Shaw has been living off the land his whole life, very comfortable with nature and the challenges of surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. He particularly enjoys his seasonal work at the O'Connor Adventure Retreat, and for this year's stint, he's bringing his niece. He's not in the market for anything other than hard work, good friends, and-fingers crossed-reasonably priced milk. Then some guy from the South puts his foot in his mouth, and Kyle steps up to teach Logan a lesson.

Camgirl

2019

The only thing worse than an overprotective father? Two overprotective fathers! Lani Shaw lost her biological parents at a young age, but her uncle Kyle accepted the challenge of guiding her into adulthood in the wilds of Alaska. And once he fell in love with Logan, their new family unit was complete. But raising a girl isn’t all sunshine and unicorns, and the two men are now faced with an estranged adult daughter they don’t know how to communicate with. Jax and Lani were each other’s first kiss, and she wanted nothing more than to spend forever with him in the land she loved. But, afraid of holding her back, Jax pushed her away and broke her heart, and neither of them has been the same since. Now they’re all back home together for the first time in years, and the bandages have been ripped off the old wounds. Jax realizes the girl he let go is the woman he now longs to hold on to. And Kyle and Logan yearn to make things right with the daughter they never meant to do so wrong. That’s the thing about teaching a girl the skills she needs to survive on her own. You’d damn well better be prepared to stand back and watch her do it. (Camgirl is a standalone novella in Cara Dee's North Novel universe, but you do not have to read Northbound and Northland to get the full enjoyment of Camgirl.)

​ I'm often stoically silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there's so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex. There's a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve. Additionally, I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect. Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing. I'm a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, and geeking. There's time for hockey and cupcakes, too. But mostly, I just love to write.
