Working aboard an Antarctic cruise ship, a young woman encounters a first-class mystery and a second chance at love in this charming contemporary romance.

To escape a disastrous affair with her university professor in Sydney, marine biologist Jenny Payne agrees to spend Christmas working aboard the Cape Adare. She can sail away from all her troubles in the South Pacific with a few weeks of sunny climes, cocktails on deck, and bronzed men in Speedos. At least that's what Jenny expects.

What she gets is an expedition through the ice shelves of the South Pole. But no matter what dangers the frozen region holds, there's no greater risk than falling for Kit Walker. The handsome, brooding, and enigmatic stranger has isolated himself in the most luxurious cabin on the ship. A man of shadowy secrets, he's a mystery Jenny can't help but try to solve—especially since he's the only thing keeping her warm . . .
