Expect the unexpected when it comes to love under the Aurora skies.

 

In the frosty mayhem of the Alaskan film set for Everybody Loves Polar
Bears
, accident-prone Macy Applegate catapults herself into a hilarious
array of mishaps better suited for a blooper reel. As Macy dreams of
stardom, she reluctantly works with Nick Westwood, the grumpiest and most
arrogant assistant director this side of the Arctic Circle—a man who
irritates her more than a stuck zipper in a sub-zero wind chill.

Beneath Nick’s stoic exterior lies a mysterious secret, and the only thing
more challenging than Alaska’s winter is these two trying to get along for
longer than a commercial break. Macy is a walking disaster in matters of the
heart, and Nick is fed up with shallow relationships. But fate has a
penchant for mischief when Nick transforms from Macy’s nemesis to her
off-screen hero, chipping away at the permafrost around her heart. Should
she give this guy a chance or continue wishing on the magical aurora
borealis for perfect love?

In this hilarious romantic comedy, where polar bears play supporting roles
and love takes center stage
, Macy and Nick navigate a situation as
unpredictable as Macy’s on-set blunders. If you swooned through The Proposal
and chuckled at The Hating Game…and if you have a soft spot for polar
bears…get ready for laughter in this heartwarming tale of unexpected
love!

EXCERPT

A tall, neon life-size Barbie hurried toward them, long blonde curls springing up and down like miniature slinkies. Victoria Miracle approached in all her glittery goose-down glory, a fusion of glamor and frostbite protection, reminding Macy of a disco-themed northern lights display. Winter seemed to follow her around like a trusty sidekick, along with her entourage of three scurrying behind her.

Macy got a kick out of The Talent and how they expected everyone to dote on them and cater to their every need. Victoria’s demeanor was a stark contrast to the independent nature of women Macy knew in Alaska. She’d read about the coddled movie star stereotype, and here was one in the flesh.

“Make this quick. I’m freezing my tush off.” The movie star’s frosty breaths puffed out of her like a high-speed locomotive. 

As Victoria strategically positioned herself next to the pond, Macy couldn’t help but imagine her strutting down the runway of a 1960s psychedelic fashion show. Her flashy style was part Picasso, part Gucci, and all sass. Victoria stood out in this winter wonderland like a burst of disco in a snow globe. 

Macy bet Victoria never met a camera she didn’t like.

The animal handler stood by, holding a long leash attached to the little polar bear cub. He gingerly placed the leash in Victoria’s hand, mumbling instructions to hold on tight.

The fish-out-of-water movie star gave Macy a critical up-and-down assessment. “Are you from here? Have you been around bears?”

Macy shrugged. “I know what to do around black and brown bears.”

Victoria gave her a look of appraisal. “Good enough for me.” She called out to Zippo. “Keep this bear woman next to me at all times.” A makeup artist appeared, dabbing lip gloss on Victoria’s already shiny lips and arranging her flawlessly spiraled curls. The artist hurried off again.

Zippo ordered the animatronics operator to dunk Mother Snowflake. The operator slowly lowered the crane, placing the fake bear into the water. “We’ll edit the crane out later,” he announced to no one in particular.

 “Vicky, say your lines, then squat next to the little bear and deliver the rest. And don’t scare him,” directed Zippo from his perch on the crane arm. “We need a tender moment, with Fake Mother Snowflake watching.”

Macy couldn’t help herself. “Excuse me, hate to keep interrupting, but that wouldn’t happen in real life. The mother bear would attack the human to protect her cub. She wouldn’t just hang out and watch.”

“This isn’t real life. It’s the movies,” Zippo said flippantly. “We do what we want in a movie. Now, can we get on with this, please? It’s a tad nippy out here, and I’d like to get this done, if you don’t mind.” He turned away to talk on his headset.

“Don’t get your panties in a twist,” mumbled Macy.

Victoria chortled. “Love your style, Bear Woman,” she purred.

Zippo cocked a brow. “Are we ready now, ladies?” He turned to the crane operator. “Lower the fake Mother Snowflake into the water. Quiet, everyone. Rolling. Marker!” He peered through his camera monitor.

A woman held up a black-and-white clapboard in front of the camera. Zippo nodded at the red digital readout. “Scene fourteen. Take one!” 

The person snapped it and hurried away.

Zippo pointed at the extras. “Background, action! Victoria, go!” 

While Macy and her merry band of extras gathered around Victoria, the drunk guy holding Macy’s prop news camera suddenly stumbled.

“Where’s my news reporter? Oh! There you are,” he slurred, beholding the glorious Victoria. “Hey, you wanna see my oosik?” He swung his camera and bumped the unsuspecting bear cub on the head.

“Your what?” Victoria wrinkled her face just as the frightened cub bawled and ran in circles around her, wrapping his leash tightly around her legs.

“Get this savage beast away from me!” she yelled. Her legs lashed together as she teetered toward the icy water. “Somebody! Get this leash off me!”

Macy sprinted forward. Her ninja-like reflexes prevented Victoria from tumbling off the edge, but in the process, Macy slipped on the ice-crusted snow. Her feet fought for traction, but it was a losing battle. She lost her balance and flailed wildly, teetering backwards. Arms spinning like windmills, she failed to restore equilibrium and executed a flawless butt-first plunge into the chilly water, like a clumsy duck on a crash landing.

Can an Alaskan firestorm lead to true love under a midnight sun?

 

Alaskan firefighter Raynie Atwood thinks she know what she
wants—until a walking encyclopedia disguised as a hotshot firefighter
storms into her life. Grieving loss and betrayal by the man she once loved,
Raynie sets her sights on a top command post for wildland fire. But when
when an extended drought, high heat, and beetle-killed forests add up to the
perfect firestorm, Raynie’s leadership is put to the test.

To add fuel to the fire, Cohen Tremblay tests Raynie at every turn as she
works to save sled dogs and Iditarod mushers dog kennels in the deadly
Alaskan conflagration…and to make matters worse, a deadly threat from
Raynie’s past has her fearing for her life.

When Raynie’s world goes up in flames, Cohen may be the only one
Raynie can rely on…
hard to do when she no longer trusts any man, let
alone a bullish co-worker. Instead, she constructs a rock-solid containment
line around her heart. But fire is unpredictable, and so is love. Will their
chance for love be snuffed before it ignites?

 

Romance, fire, and betrayal…another deadly mix!

Excerpt

 

Cohen slid his arm around her as if it were the most natural thing in the
world to do and rested his palm on her shoulder. He felt warm and she
inhaled his freshly showered scent. “Raynie?”

“Yes?”

“I’m glad you came with me today.”

“Me too.” They’d spent an hour together without
exchanging barbs. He hadn’t pissed her off even once.

He rubbed her shoulder and she slowly leaned into him. It had been a long
while since she’d touched another person like this. She’d missed
that sense of protection and comfort.

“I’d like to spend more time with you outside of work,”
he said. “I feel good when I’m with you. Even when we
argue.”

“That’s just twisted.” She smirked, but her breath caught
when she turned to see the way he looked at her. It was as if she had an out
of body experience and was watching someone else doing this.

Cohen’s heat sent an ache down low to her core. Raynie had a decision
to make, and it better be fast. She made it. God help her, she made it and
turned to him. “Will you kiss me?”

“What? Did I hear you right?” His tone was sexy and pulled her
in even more.

“Sorry, I—I didn’t mean to—it’s
inappropriate, we work together. But if you don’t want
to—”

He took the rest of her words into his mouth as he settled his lips on
hers—a tender kiss, so soft it felt like an angel was kissing her. He
pulled back slightly and spoke against her lips. “I’ve wanted to
do this since I set eyes on you at the Hiland Mountain Fire.”

Her mind blanked and her face scrunched with such utter disbelief at his
saying this, that her reflexive action was to put her hand on his chest and
push him away. But she couldn’t. An unstoppable force kept her hand on
his shoulder. She’d been fighting an attraction to Cohen from the
get-go—when he wasn’t pissing her off, or they weren’t
arguing over firefighting strategy.

He opened his mouth to say something, and Raynie put a finger to his lips.
“Please. Don’t ruin this. Just kiss me again.”
