After having a friend with benefits fling with Ramona, who is a seasonal worker, Tanner finds himself amid chaos, when the lady snaps and tries several antics to sink her claws into him. Barely getting out of the crazy situations she put him in, Tanner finds out that she is coming back this summer and now he needs to enlist someone to be his fake fiancé. McKenna has had her own issues that has left her in a bind, but finding Tanner’s ad and heading to Skagway to help him sounds like the perfect way to get out of her problems. The first time they meet neither one is hugely impressed with the other because McKenna is a tiny wisp of thing and Tanner is this Viking like god and not the other’s type, or so they think. The more time they spend together they form a friendship of sorts while fighting an attraction that surprises them both. The slow burn that has you anticipating the fireworks you know that they will have keeps you glued in and is well worth the wait because the time it takes them to form a friendship to more gives them a much stronger foundation for what’s to come. The visuals the author gives us of this gorgeous scenery and town with its quirky towns people is absolutely stunning and the family the Stewarts have leaves you craving more stories from each one.
