An unwanted legacy. An easy job turned deadly. And a Don’t trust anyone.

When Merritt Harland’s father unexpectedly died and she was thrust into the CEO position of her family’s multi-billion dollar mining empire she walked away from years ago, she thought life couldn’t get any worse. But being forced to the far reaches of Alaska and surrounded by her conniving stepfamily, loneliness and the desperation to uncover the secret of her father’s death might just consume her.

Tiikâan Rebel took the job of flying the head of Harland Global Resources for the easy money the months-long contract would give him. Money he desperately needs to keep his hunting and guiding business from going belly up and confirming his status as screw-up in his family of extraordinaires. He can endure the boredom of being nothing more than an air taxi if it means his dream will survive another Alaskan winter.

But when the frosty woman he’s flying proves to be an intriguing puzzle, his curiosity gets him deeper in trouble than he imagines. His determination to live up to his family name and help Merritt expose the treachery threatening her might be more than he can handle.

And the Land of the Midnight Sun doesn’t care who lives or dies.

This book! Wow, so many feelings, yet I’m not entirely sure how to word it all. I will mention that there is some cussing, pop-culture reference, and I’m sure a couple other things that should probably be mentioned, oh yeah there’s a fair amount of violence (both between people-people and people-vs-wildlife in a few of places). That’s definitely the big things that I can think of that readers need to be warned about and aware of.

I’ve finally caught up on the Alaskan Rebels series, so far, and can now say this one has been my favorite so far! I knew I wanted to read Tiikâan’s story after briefly meeting him in Gunner’s book when I started this series a couple years ago. It’s been a wait, but it was so worth it! I enjoyed Sunny’s book last year, and knew I had to make this one a priority to read this year, and I’m so glad that I did! Tiikâan and Merritt were such a fun pairing, and I loved seeing their relationship grow and change and develop as the story goes on. I also adored seeing the Rebels rally together, and the love and acceptance that pours forth from them that we see a little of in each book in this delightful series! This one, oh! The whole story was sort of like a warm hug…well in the Alaskan wilderness with, you know, murderous wildlife and a deranged killer after you… You know, all in a day in the life of a Rebel, I guess. Lol. Really though, I adored reading Tiikâan’s story, and finally getting to know him better and seeing how it all turns out. Plus, this one has me all the more excited for the last two Rebels and their stories! Especially Magnus’ story, which was hinted at toward the end of the book.
