We’re returning to Blue Arrow Lake, where high peaks, tall evergreens and deep waters are in great contrast to the Southern California cities and beaches just a couple of hours away. Mackenzie “Mac” Walker, the second of the mountain-born-and-bred Walker siblings, is the last of them single, too...and it’s starting to wear a little. Everybody believes she’s still hung up on her first love, but he’s been incommunicado for a decade, except for postcards that have continually arrived from all over the world.

And then one night, a familiar stranger shows up at a family celebration...

Zan Elliott returns to the place of his childhood that never quite felt like home. He has a job to do—handle his grandfather’s estate—and then he presumes he’ll return to his globe-trotting lifestyle. But the girl he’s never forgotten has now grown up, and their connection is as strong as ever. Can he risk attaching himself to this woman when he knows how tenuous life and love can be?

I’ve been excited about telling the story of Mac and Zan from the beginning of the Cabin Fever series. Their young love is a legend around the region—I hope you find their second take just as epic. Grab your ticket and join me on another emotional, sexy journey. Destination...romance!

Christie
