Josie Avery takes a summer position cooking at a lakeside lodge in a remote Alaskan town and quickly falls for Palmer Saxon, a famed swordsmith, but Josie intends to return home to her career in Seattle, until fate intervenes.

Before beginning her new job as sous chef at one of Seattle's finest restaurants, Josie Stewart takes on a six-month position cooking at a lodge in an Alaskan lake town. It's only temporary, or so she thinks, as she becomes a valued part of the local community, falling in love with the people who call the Klutina Lake home. But one man, in particular, stands out among Josie's new friends: Palmer Saxon, a quiet, intense sword craftsman, whose very existence forces her to question whether her heart wants to return to Washington at all.
