Makoa Kalani used to believe in happy endings. That is, until she lost her fiancé over his trust fund, along with the chance at head-chef in one of the trendiest bistros in LA. Her best friend, Katina, offers her a position at her new restaurant. The only caveat, it’s in a tiny tourist town in Canada. With nothing left to lose, she’d rather live in the frozen tundra than go home to Hawaii a failure.

Ridge Aktoon loves flying, in and out of his plane. He took over his ailing father’s bush plane business, giving up his life on the reservation in the Pacific Rim National Forest. While he loves his job, it also weighs heavy on his soul that the town depends on him for everything, leaving him trapped and very single.

When he assumes his friend Katina is trying to set him up again, Ridge is adamant not to fall for it after several botched attempts. But he takes one look at Makoa and his plan crumbles when she turns out to be his mate—he just doesn’t know how to tell her that, and their heated banter fuels their attraction. Just when Ridge’s cold heart melts, the longtime war between his tribe and the wolves may end up costing him everything.
