Never having lived up to her father's expectations since she was born the wrong sex, Melony Shepherd is a high-powered, high-strung attorney by day, reclusive emotional cripple by night. Melony searches for a way to find the inner peace and true courage she has never known by taking Hunter McFadden's Alaskan Wilderness Survival Course. She figures that two weeks of roughing-it in the summertime Alaskan outback would do the trick, but will she make it through the sexy Scotsman's rugged course, while continuing to ignore the instant attraction they feel toward one another? Melony is determined to leave with her heart intact, while Hunter vows to seduce the spiny-tongued temptress and have her begging to share his sleeping bag.
