Janet Dailey sets an idyllic scene as she opens REFUGE COVE
in a tourist town in Alaska shut down for the season, but
just outside of town in the surrounding forest a woman is
running for her life.
Emma Hunter was a lonely school
teacher looking for a man to love while living in Utah.
Enter the man of her dreams. He talks her
into moving to Alaska to marry and live with him, only to
find out all is not as it seems. She ends up running
for her life and knows she can't stop or she'll die. Emma
gets caught in a muskeg an Alaskan swamp and is spotted by
John Wolf flying home from a mail run. He reluctantly stops
to rescue the woman. They are shot at and escape, but when
he finds out what is going on he vows to protect her from
her so called husband who John knows all too well. He
takes Emma to the police who really can't do much, so John
starts investigating on his own.
REFUGE COVE is one of Janet Dailey's Americana series
and I look forward to reading the other numerous books.
REFUGE COVE keeps you wondering when the bad guy will show
up. It shows you that no matter if it is a large city or a
small town, there
is danger, but you can over come your fears with true
love.
Refuge Cove, Alaska, stays true to its name when a woman
who has lost hope and a man in need of healing come to
each other’s rescue…
She came to Alaska on the promise of marriage, only to
find herself on the run from her would-be husband. Lost
and alone in the wilderness, Emma Hunter nearly weeps with
relief at the sight of a small plane in the distance—until
the rugged bush pilot makes his way through the brush to
help her. Can she trust this stranger any more than the
menacing predator on her trail? But there’s something in
John Wolf’s dark eyes that wills her to believe in him,
something about his gentle nature that allows her to
accept his offer of protection…
He’d let her into his life because he knew she was in
trouble. The last thing John Wolf expects is to feel so
much so quickly for the vulnerable woman in his care. For
sharing his lonely wilderness home with Emma means
allowing her to see his sorrow—the son he longs to
reconnect with, the loss of the family he once dreamed
possible. Sharing his heart with Emma means being willing
to risk everything to keep her safe…
