Two years ago, Logan Ward got the surprise of his life when he discovered he was the father of a two-year-old little boy. Professionally and romantically adrift, he devoted all his time and energy to caring for his son. But now he's searching for more, and accepting a job in Alaska will give him a fresh start. Along the way, he can only hope work out the rest. Minor things, really. Like how to create a home for him and his boy, figuring out whether or not he's into men, and how to find his place in a new culture where a young girl is better with a rifle than he is. Kyle Shaw has been living off the land his whole life, very comfortable with nature and the challenges of surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. He particularly enjoys his seasonal work at the O'Connor Adventure Retreat, and for this year's stint, he's bringing his niece. He's not in the market for anything other than hard work, good friends, and-fingers crossed-reasonably priced milk. Then some guy from the South puts his foot in his mouth, and Kyle steps up to teach Logan a lesson.
