Gold Lust — Sky Robinson

First in the Wild Alaska series

The 1901 gold rush brings people and excitement to Alaska, and recently widowed Emma Smith is in the middle of it all, ready to make her fortune. She's definitely not interested in love or lust, but that all changes when she rescues her neighbor James Armstrong from an icy creek and she's forced to lie naked with him to save his life. She'd been fighting her attraction to the burly mountain man for a long time, but with him so close, touching, skin against skin, she can't deny it any longer. And soon sex with James is an addiction, something to warm every Alaskan night. Emma is sure a traditional man like James couldn't accept an independent woman like her permanently. But as the dangers of Alaska keep bringing them together, the reasons to stay apart begin to fade.
