Crystal Creek

She came to Alaska for a photo shoot. She didn't expect to be stranded with a grumpy survival guide and no cell service.Lena Kensington's career is in freefall. A remote lodge in Alaska was supposed to be her comeback-a few glamorous photos, a scenic backdrop, a quick exit. Instead, she lands in the middle of a rugged reality series with one rule: no script, no filters, and no escape.Even worse? Her guide is Finn Hollister, the brooding lodge owner blindsided by a contract that forces him into the wilderness with the very type of woman he's spent years avoiding.But the wild has its own agenda.Stripped of makeup, headlines, and the walls they've built around their hearts, Lena and Finn begin to see each other-and themselves-more clearly. She's tougher than she looks. He's not nearly as cold as he seems. And somewhere between bear warnings and blizzards, something real begins to grow.She's the outsider with everything to prove.He's the local with everything to lose.Out here, survival isn't the only thing at stake-so is their chance at forever.
