Tender Is the Touch — Ana Leigh

ICE AND FIRE

Headstrong Sydney Delandy never let being female in the 1880s stop her from pursuing her dreams. So with an employment contract in hand, she strikes out for the frozen North -- to present herself in person to her astonished new boss.

Mike MacAllister thought he had hired a man -- not the bewitching miss who now stands before him. Alaska, however, is no place for a woman -- and the dashing entrepreneur resolves to do whatever it takes to send Sydney scurrying back to a warmer and safer clime.

But the stubborn young beauty is determined to prove herself equal to this perilous and breathtaking land -- and, in the process, melt the icy heart of her handsome employer with passion's fire ... and a love that blazes brighter than the Northern Lights.
