Erica Bain's one-pilot company recently celebrated its
seventh anniversary flying Yukon's High North. Erica flies
when no one else can, takes on clients no one else wants
and lands her floatplane where no one else dares. But after
she delivers wealthy hunters to their secluded lodge, an
electrical fire forces her to make an emergency landing at
a nearby weather station. Its lone occupant, a man
notorious throughout the region for his "charming"
personality, couldn't make her feel less welcome if he
tried. Maybe crashing in the mountains wouldn't have been
so bad after all.
Lothar's been around for six hundred and seventy years, ten
months, twenty-five days and some change. But who's
counting? His different careers have included prospector
during the Gold Rush, reluctant medical aide to a charity
group after his immigration to North America, courier
during the Napoleonic War, popular man with the ladies of
Vienna's aristocracy and brilliant physician. And before it
all, back in his thirteenth century native Austria — a time
he won't let himself forget — he used to be a sadistic
monster.
He's never believed men like him should hope for a second
chance. Until Erica lands on him — literally.
