From USA Today and international bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes a sweeping second-chance, forbidden romance set against the rugged beauty of northern Ontario.

Emery McAllister once dreamed of leaving Cold River with the boy next door, but one devastating night destroyed their future and left her heart carefully guarded. Twenty years later, she’s built a life of control: running the town’s police detachment, raising her daughter, and keeping a fragile peace with her ex-husband, the mayor.
She’s certain she has moved on until the day she has dreaded—and secretly hoped for—finally arrives.

Logan Landry is home.

After two decades behind bars for being in the wrong place at the wrong time—and the choices that haunted him ever since—Logan returns to his family’s bison ranch carrying the weight of everything he lost, but especially Emery. Friendship is all he dares hope for now, but seeing her ignites a fire he thought long extinguished.

When a teenage girl disappears and old wounds reopen, Logan becomes Cold River’s favorite suspect, despite his airtight alibi. As distrust closes in, Emery must choose between the life she’s built … and the love she can’t let go.



Emery + Logan

Twenty years ago life was amazing. Emery was happily in love with her best childhood friend and boy next door Logan. They were about to leave for University and their amazing future together. And then things happened and Logan was gone.
Emery kept on living her life. Becoming a cop. Getting married. Having a baby girl. Getting divorced. Moving back into her parents' house.
And now Logan is back.

Will there be a second chance for a HEA?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!



I could read a K.A. Tucker book every month/week/day and never get tired of them.
And this one was just as beautiful as all the others.
We get a small Canadian town with our heroine as the 'Sheriff' and our hero as the ex-con who is finally back home at his parents' bison farm.
And we get a teenaged daughter and hockey and family and an ex-husband mayor and not-so-nicely gossiping townsfolk and bisons and dogs and horses and a crime that people want to blame Logan for.
Will we also get a second chance for a happily ever after for our two darlings?
It won't be easy... at all! The whole town believes the worst about Logan and people keep blaming him for things and Emery could lose her job and so much more if she starts seeing him again. But those old feelings never went away.
Ugh. That was so sweet and super heartbreaking.
But also funny and so full of family and love and nature and animals and regrets and hope and all the things. Just beautiful. I was seeing this whole book like a movie in my head. It's all described so perfectly and I just loved reading this.
I wish this would've been a three book series with so much more - but it was perfect the way it was.

NORTH COUNTRY was such a beautiful second-chance love story. Heartbreaking. Funny. Sweet. Adorable. Exciting. Sparky. Mysterious. Thrillerish. Full of family and animals and all the best book things.
Run to your nearest book dealer for your own Logan - this one is mine!
