In 1923 Alaska, Cassidy Ivanoff works as a cook's assistant at the prestigious Curry Hotel near Mount McKinley, where her father, John, guides wealthy tourists through the surrounding wilderness. As the hotel prepares for President Warren G. Harding's visit to celebrate the completion of the Alaska Railroad, Allan Brennan arrives to apprentice under John, hoping to uncover the truth about his own father's death on the mountain years earlier. Although his father's former business partner blames the guide for the tragedy, Allan is determined to discover what really happened, and Cassidy becomes an unexpected ally in his investigation. As their search reveals troubling secrets and growing danger, the two must navigate questions of trust, faith, and their developing feelings for one another. Perfect for when you're craving a historical romance filled with mountain adventure, family secrets, and mystery against the breathtaking backdrop of the Alaskan wilderness.
