Summary:
Pre-med student Sarah Jones is back in Beaver,
Alaska, for summer vacation. A loyal
member of the Gwich’in tribe, she accepts the rules set by her father, the
leader of their small town. Raised in a strict household, she learned early on
to do what is expected of her and has agreed to an arranged marriage. Despite
her reluctance to marry without love, Sarah is unwilling to defy her father’s
wishes. She hopes to help usher in an era of independence and stability for the
town, but for now, her focus is finishing med school so she can become Beaver’s
resident doctor.
Business owner Greg Andrews wants to escape his
philandering wife and his life in general. Leaving New York City to join a
hunting expedition in Alaska, Greg’s plans are turned upside down when he is
shot on Gwich’in land and ends up on Sarah’s operating table. In the absence of
a qualified doctor, Sarah must operate to save his life. She refuses to wait
for the consent of their tribal leader, and her father banishes her from the
tribal land in punishment.
Grateful for his life, Greg concocts a scheme to
help. Plagued by the side effects of her unconventional operation, he convinces
Sarah to become his live-in nurse. Without the means to support herself, Sarah
agrees to the questionable arrangement, but she soon finds herself in even more
trouble. Her new problem is that she is falling in love with this infuriating
man, and the choices she now must make are must more difficult than the simple
act of saving a man’s life.
Together, Sarah and Greg must both decide whether
they can overcome the vast differences between them, or if the indivisible line
that separates their worlds will ultimately pull them apart.
My Review:
If you like roller coasters, you will love this book. There are more twists and turns than Space Mountain that will leave you breathless and turning the page! This book has mystery, revenge, intrigue, and love. I was worried for most of the book how things would turn out. I always enjoy a book with a strong female lead and Lorenz delivers that. We get to know Sarah very well, but Greg is somewhat of a question mark. He keeps things private, and that gets him into trouble. Part of me is exhausted after reading this book because it is so emotional, but mostly I am glad I had the pleasure of reading this book! 4 out of 5!
