The Lonely Ones Olivia Claire High

The Lonely OnesRivalry between relatives, hidden animosities, and financial problems threaten to bring down a business empire that has operated throughout Alaska for three generations. Erik King is the only one who can save the company and make things right for his family. But Erik became a recluse following a tragic accident andhas chosen to live in a remote cabin in the wilds of Alaska where he has managed to shut out everything and everyone. . . until he stumbles upon Riley Hunter, half frozen in the middle of a snowstorm. He takes her back to his cabin with every intention of returning her to town as soon as possible. But Erik begins to wonder just who is rescuing whom after being snowbound with Riley for several days. Unaware of the profound affect she might have on him, he now starts to consider whether he should end his self-imposed exile and go back to his responsibilities, returning to the pressures he left behind. Or should he remain safely cocooned inside his little cabin? If he goes, he could continue to see Riley, perhaps even build a relationship with her. If he stays, he will resume living on his own terms and avoid his bickering family. Erik senses this will be one of the most important decisions of his life.
