All That Glitters

Ava Faraday has spent her life running- from love, from her past, from herself. Now she has only one place left to go: home. She arrives in Nome, Alaska determined to make a fresh start. Out of luck and out of options, she joins the crew of her estranged father's dredge, and struggles to learn her new- and dangerous- job before she dies trying. The last thing she needs is to fall in love. Gold dredger Ethan Calhoun has struggled to put the ghosts of his own troubled past to rest. After five long years as an outsider in Nome, he's finally made good. When Ava comes to town, she stirs up feelings in him he can't control, and isn't sure he wants to. The closer they become, the more Ethan wonders: will those feelings destroy everything he's worked for? In Nome's dredging community, loyalties change, and trust is anything but guaranteed. When faced with a common threat, Ethan and Ava realize they must work together to survive. Can two lifelong runners trust each other? Can they convince each other- and themselves- love is worth the risk?
