Calla & Jonah's journey continues in this sequel to The Simple Wild, from internationally bestselling author K.A. Tucker

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From the internationally best-selling author of The Simple Wild comes the continuation of a woman's journey to Alaska and a life she never imagined for herself.

Calla Fletcher returns to Toronto a different person, struggling to find direction and still very much in love with the rugged bush pilot she left behind. When Jonah arrives on her doorstep with a proposition she can't dismiss, she takes the leap and rushes back to Alaska to begin their exciting future together.

But Calla soon learns that even the best intentions can lead to broken promises, and that compromise comes with a hefty priceβ€”a log cabin in rural Alaska that feels as isolating as the western tundra.

With Jonah gone more than he's home, one neighbour who insists on transforming her into a true Alaskan, and another who seems more likely to shoot her than come to her aid, Calla grapples with forging her own path. In a world with roaming wildlife that has her constantly watching over her shoulder and harsh conditions that stretch far beyond the cold, dark, winter months, just stepping outside her front door can be daunting.

This is not the future Calla had in mind, leaving her to fear that perhaps she is doomed to follow in her mother's fleeing footsteps after all.

Praise for The Simple Wild

"This book OWNS US... This book is beautiful, y'all, and we are jealous you get to read it for the first time." β€”Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author

"Atmospheric, tender, and with feel-real characters who'll make you laugh out loud and shed a few tears, this must-read book has it all. Cozy up and relax for the day, because you'll want to do nothing but devour this stunning novel." β€”Hannah Mary McKinnon, author of The Neighbors

"This book is anything but simple. It's got family drama, a journey of self-discovery and romance all rolled into one novel. Tucker blends these elements perfectly for a heartwarming read about a woman juggling a new relationship while trying to reconnect with her estranged father. It will make you think about your own life and the relationships you're in whether it's romantic or family." β€”Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author of the After series
