She's his best friend's little sister, but if the Alaskan wilderness doesn't kill her, he might. When Ariel walks into the grimy Alaskan hanger, Bryce is determined to be a gentleman if not for her sake, then to honor her brother, his best friend. But with her fancy suit and stuck up attitude, Ariel's every word pushes Bryce to his limits. Or maybe it's those gorgeous curves and pouty lips that are bringing out the feral caveman in him. The last thing Ariel wants to do is to clean up after her estranged brother. This trip to Alaska is a waste of her time. Adding to her misery is Bryce, her brother's best friend and the man she's stuck with until this is all over. Bryce is six foot two inches of pure backwoods muscle. But he's also uncivilized, rude, and so handsome that his features may have been carved by Michelangelo himself. Resisting him may be as difficult as surviving the rough Alaskan wilderness.
