A young woman searching for herself in the Canadian wilderness finds passion instead in this classic romance by a New York Times–bestselling author. No one could have imagined naïve and pampered Rory Matthews in the wilderness of the Yukon Territory—least of all Rory herself. But arriving unexpectedly to join her brother on a scientific expedition was Rory's way of putting her spoiled, rich-girl ways behind her. Though she came prepared for the rough challenge of the land, she wasn't ready for the raw power of nature she discovered in the arms of Eric Clarkson. As majestic and rugged as the land around her, Eric was a man who perplexed her as much as he intrigued her . . . a man who infuriated her even as he offered a passionate, fulfilling new beginning to her life. Originally published in 1982.
