She plays it safe. He's a loner. When they both deny their instant chemistry, will this city girl and bush pilot realize they're meant to be?

California. Elle Blessing has painted herself into a corner. Desperate to maintain her veneer of success, the twenty-something influencer feels trapped in her miserable job and mostly platonic relationship. And when she reluctantly joins her fiancé on a trip to Alaska, she can't decide if their hunky guide is annoyingly grumpy or drop-dead gorgeous.

Maverick "Mac" Carter believes he's destined to die single. So after picking up a couple heading to his sister's lodge, he's surprised when his stomach does a flip flop at the sight of the blue-eyed cutie accompanying her betrothed. But with her already engaged, he's almost relieved to discover she's utterly exasperating.

Horrified when her intended runs off to be one with nature, Elle demands the rugged but maddening man make things right. While Mac is aghast to learn the feisty female won't leave his home until he finds and fixes her nutty boyfriend.

As proximity leads to a softening of hearts, will these unexpected soulmates find true love?
