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.
