Midnight Sun — Vella Munn

The Great White North

Brand Lockwood would never forget the collapse. The earth rumbled. Steel girders tumbled to the ground. Concrete crumbled into dust. As the dust settled, Brand made a promise. Never- again would he be a victim of another man's negligence and greed. He would manage his own construction sites, even if it meant taking jobs in the isolated wilderness of Alaska's Klondike region.

Kara Richardson was accustomed to physical labor. Despite her slender build and silky black hair, she could handle a bulldozer as well as any man. She needed the job on Lockwood's crew in the Klondike for two reasons. Her family needed the money. And Kara needed some answers. She had to know the truth about the collapse of her father's building site. And only Lockwood knew the facts that could save her father's reputation.

Using her ex-husband's name, Kara got the job without raising suspicion. But Brand was not the gruff boss she'd expected. There was wisdom in his deep-set blue eyes, power in his handshake. This was a man who had wrestled his way through life, a man who never backed down. Until now. Determined to extract the truth, Kara was about to push Brand Lockwood to the limit.
