From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Jennifer Bernard comes a new sizzling suspense series set in the Alaskan wilderness. From childhood misfit to successful attorney, Molly Evans wouldn’t be the strong, independent force of nature she is today without the support of her three best friends—and one of them is missing. On a mission to find answers, she tracks Lila all the way to Firelight Ridge, Alaska, a wild outpost where Molly sticks out like a sore thumb in her designer duds and desperate search for Wi-Fi. Regardless, just days after arriving, she can’t resist getting sucked into the mystery surrounding a local’s death, a group of reclusive settlers...and a surly but undeniably attractive pilot. Sam Coburn has carefully cultivated a lone-wolf persona since moving to Firelight Ridge, necessary for a job he’s reluctantly agreed to take on. Then Molly Evans steps onto his plane, and he just knows the gorgeous redhead is about to make his life interesting. She’s as fierce as she is feisty...and it’s not long before she inadvertently provides him access to an isolated wilderness family he’s tried and failed to get close to for over a year. But it turns out they are excessively interested in Molly...a potentially dangerous turn of events Sam didn’t see coming. Throw in a teen runaway, a shooting, sexual attraction as dazzling as the endless Alaska sky, and a potentially catastrophic event, and Sam and Molly’s breathtaking adventure could end up either life-altering...or life-ending.v

This heavily illustrated book contains descriptions and geologic interpretations of photographs (mostly aerial) illustrating the power and magnitude of repeated Ice Age flooding in the Pacific Northwest, as recently as 14,000 years ago. The scale of Ice Age floods was so huge that today it is often difficult to see and appreciate the power and magnitude of such megafloods from ground level. However, from the air, landforms created by the floods often come into clear focus. Aerial images, obtained via unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) as well as fixed-wing airplane, add a new perspective on evidence gathered by dozens of scientists since 1923.

This story of adventure and romance is the perfect cozy Christmas read to curl up with this winter. Sylvie Magnusson is going to be lonely this Christmas. Instead of jetting off with fiancé Cole for their honeymoon in paradise, she’s freezing at home while trying to ignore everyone’s pity for "that poor jilted Ms Magnusson." Guess that’s what happens when your fiancé calls off the wedding with one week to go. Enter Nari, Sylvie’s best friend, who plans a trip to Lapland to see the Northern Lights and get Sylvie’s mojo back. But as their Lapland getaway approaches, Sylvie realizes she’ll be holidaying in the hometown of Stellan Virtanen, her dreamy Finnish ex-boyfriend, the one that got away (or...ran away, and Sylvie never understood why). When Stellan and Sylvie are reunited in the town of Frozen Falls, she’s delighted to see that he’s just as hot as she remembers–and when he shows her the romantic delights of Lapland, he becomes the perfect medicine for her broken heart. But as she prepares to fly back to England, can she really leave Stellan behind? Or will she find that her heart belongs in the frozen North?
