Book synopsis:
Everything’s bigger in Alaska, especially the HEAs.
Annabeth Albert kicks off the brand-new Frozen Hearts series with Arctic Sun,
an opposites-attract romance between a rugged outdoorsman and a smoking hot
former male model.
He’s built a quiet life for himself in Alaska. But it doesn’t stand a chance against the unrelenting pull of a man who’s everything he shouldn’t want.
Ex-military mountain man Griffin Barrett likes his solitude. It keeps him from falling back into old habits. Bad habits. He’s fought too hard for his sobriety to lose control now. However, his gig as a wildlife guide presents a new kind of temptation in superhot supermodel River Vale. Nothing the Alaskan wilderness has to offer has ever called to Griffin so badly. And that can only lead to trouble…
River has his own methods for coping. Chasing adventure means always moving forward. Nobody’s ever made him want to stand still—until Griffin. The rugged bush pilot is the very best kind of distraction, but the emotions he stirs up in River feel anything but casual, and he’s in no position to stay put.
With temptation lurking in close quarters, keeping even a shred of distance is a challenge neither’s willing to meet. And the closer Griffin gets to River, the easier it is to ignore every last reason he should run.
Publisher’s Note: Arctic Sun deals with topics some readers may find difficult, including sobriety and eating disorders.

Excerpt:
The company liked using this
modern, high-rise hotel to start and end trips because customers always seemed
surprised to find such luxury in Alaska, and it made a nice contrast to the
more spartan accommodations that would follow. The huge multistory atrium lobby
was tastefully appointed in greens and browns and was about as far from Griff’s
vision of a perfect little cabin in the middle of nowhere as one could get. All
the high ceilings and metal artwork made his eye twitch.
A concierge who knew Uncle Roger on
sight from all their repeat business helped them to set up a welcome table with
a sign with their company logo. Al- most immediately two middle-aged women came
over to check in, and in Dutch accents, they fussed over Uncle Roger’s crutches
and his injury. Griffin immediately gathered that they were a couple—the
matching red sweaters were his first clue as were their hyphenated last names.
But his attention was quickly diverted by a...creature unfolding itself from one of the over- sized leather
chairs in the middle of the lobby.
It took a moment before he placed
the gender as most likely male, distracted as he was by a pair of the longest
legs he’d ever seen encased in dark purple, skintight jeans. Bright blue hair
topped a surprisingly angelic and youthful face, with an equally unexpected
square jaw with the barest hint of stubble. A leather jacket that probably cost
more than the engine Griffin had been working on earlier topped a T-shirt that
advertised some band that he’d never heard of. Please, don’t let this be...
Griffin didn’t even get the prayer
out before the elegant person sauntered toward their table.
“River Vale,” a melodic voice
announced. Hint of New York to it, with just enough of the sort of lilt that
always did something to Griffin’s insides. He wasn’t sure why he’d always been
so attracted to musical voices, and this was an incredibly bad time for the
libido he’d put in deep freeze to remind him about what he liked. His turn-ons
were irrelevant here—he needed to be focusing on how completely unsuited for
their ten-day trek this River person was.
Designer clothes. Thin frame.
Delicate leather shoes better suited for a night of clubbing than any outdoor
activity. High maintenance hair. Rich, floral smelling aftershave. Pants so
tight Griffin seriously worried about circulation on a long van ride.
Everything about River screamed trouble, the sort of trouble Griffin absolutely
did not need.
