Falling // Believe in Us — Jolene Perry

Dana is definitely not the kind of girl to be living in the dump of a wilderness lodge she finds herself waitressing in. But when Craig, the sexy cop who's handling the murder case where she's a witness, suggests it -- it seems like a good idea. Now she's got no BMW, no shopping, and an assortment of hairy Alaskan men who definitely belong in a run-down old lodge. Her exciting visits from Craig are getting less exciting, and the lodge owner, Jason, is quickly moving from grouchy and judgmental, to funny, smart and unexpectedly complex.

Jason knows exactly the type of girl Dana is -- beautiful, spoiled, and high maintenance. She's everything that hurt him in the past, and why he now lives as far away from city life as he can manage. If he wasn't so hard-up for help, he would have never said yes to his friend, Craig. Despite his reservations, Dana becomes the perfect antidote to everything in his life -- both his disaster of a divorce and precocious little sister who shows up on his doorstep. Jason realizes he's falling in love too late to stop it, or even slow it down.

As the trial approaches, Dana knows it's time to move on with her life -- but is her life back in the city she left or does she believe in love enough to re-imagine her future?
