Isabella Hammond has rented a rustic isolated cabin in Alaska.  She has come to try to heal from a recent traumatic situation in which she was not only in danger but in which she lost her dearly beloved Uncle Cam.  He was her best friend, her employer, and her shelter in life.  Now she must find a new direction for her future. 

On convalescent leave after injury from an explosion, Brandon Wilks is flying low trying to stay under the clouds as the weather has turned unexpectedly poor.  Contemplation of giving up the danger that his work has entailed in law enforcement as well as visions of settling down tempt him after his last brush with death. 

When a freak occurrence brings the small plane crashing into the lake before her very eyes, Isabella can not possibly know what a wonderful accident this will turn out to be. 

Ms. Karella takes two strangers, both of whom are unusual people each taking stock of their lives and places them in the wilds of Alaska.  The setting is a fitting canvas for these two hardy and earthy people who have lived uncommon lives.  The beauty of the land as well as its nuisances feels so real that you can actually picture yourself there. 

Bella’s gruff personality is a veneer coating on a caring and wounded soul.  Readers will ache with her over the tragedies in her past that have left her somewhat fragile.  Likewise, we respect her for her determination to find a measure of happiness and to persevere. 

For all of our hero’s tough career history, he is a wonderfully grounded man.  One could not help but chuckle over Brandon’s penchant to tease, admire his wish to help, and melt at his attempts to woo his sometimes vulnerable and sometimes prickly heroine. 

Alaskan Hideaway is a romance that will take you through a gamut of emotions and leave you happy to have witnessed this journey to love.
