She's Run as Far as She Can from Her Past. Will It Still Come Back to Haunt Her? Tayler Hale is ahead of her time as one of the first women naturalists. She has always loved adventure and the great outdoors, and her remote job location also helps keep her away from a formidable man to whom she once made a foolish promise. It seems she must keep running, however, and she secretly journeys to a new job in Alaska.

The popular Curry Hotel continues to thrive in 1929 as more visitors come to Alaska and venture into the massive national park surrounding Denali.

But when he finds himself having to work alongside a newly arrived female naturalist, everything becomes complicated.

The summer brings unexpected guests and trouble to Curry. With his reputation at stake, will Thomas be able to protect Tayler from the danger that follows?
