Arctic Heat Annabeth Albert

A lasting connection needs more than simply surviving a winter together--they'll have to outsmart danger, let down their defenses, and open their hearts.

Owen Han has a fresh lease on life--he's kicked cancer's ass and is roaring through his bucket list. The former investment banker hopes to find his next challenge in Alaska, volunteering alongside park rangers and fulfilling his childhood dreams of snowy winters and rustic life. Of course, those dreams did tend to feature big strapping mountain men in vivid detail...

Ranger Quilleran Ramsey would like to be anywhere other than dealing with newbie volunteers. And really, the only thing he needs less than a green volunteer "partner" is the flirty attentions of a buff city boy who doesn't look ready to last a week, let alone an Alaskan winter. They're all wrong for each other, even if Quill's traitorous body enjoys the flirting more than it should.

As the weeks pass, the two snowbound men give in to temptation. But can their seasonal romance last until spring? For them to have a future together, each will have to trust the other...while hoping that the harsh elements and omnipresent dangers don't destroy what happiness they've found in the moment.
