Lee Korchuk is just hitting her stride as a photographer for a large museum in Toronto. Now she and her boss, scientist Oliver Caldwell, have set out on the adventure of a lifetime, way up in northern Canada where a mysterious guide, Jackson Shea, has discovered ancient Indian ruins.

The three of them set out in a houseboat along the wild shores of Deer Lake. It does not go smoothly at all. Some of the sites have been vandalized and robbed. There is danger all around, from the thieves that remain elusive, as well as the wildlife and the lake itself.

Jackson teaches her basic survival skills and she grows confident enough to shed her polished city image. Lee is drawn to the handsome guide but as they plunge deeper into the wilderness, she begins to suspect that he is holding back information.

As the mystery of the poachers increases, so do their feelings for one another. But whether they can ever fully trust each other remains to be seen.

This is Rachel Evans’ fourth book for AVALON, but her first with a touch of intrigue in the story. Writing has kept Rachel busy for many years and she believes an element of romance makes a satisfying tale, both to read and to write. Rachel gets her inspiration from the Canadian landscape at her northern cottage and from the vibrant city of Toronto. Both places are dear to her heart and not very far from the small town where she and her husband live with two teenage daughters and a menagerie of pets.
