She pilots a mail-delivery plane in the forbidding Alaskan wilderness, the lone woman in a male profession. But even that seems easy compared to finding true love. She likes a fellow pilot and would even consider marrying him--if it weren't for Paul, a mysterious man on her mail route with a gentle spirit and a past to hide. Can Kate break through the walls Paul has put up around his heart? And will her quest for adventure be her demise? Book 1 in the Alaskan Skies series, Touching the Clouds will draw readers in with raw emotion and suspense, all against the stunning backdrop of the Alaskan wilds.

Book excerpt: Set against the magnificent backdrop of Alaska in the waning days of World War II, The Cloud Atlas is an enthralling debut novel, a story of adventure and awakening—and of a young soldier who came to Alaska on an extraordinary, top-secret mission…and found a world that would haunt him forever. Drifting through the night, whisper-quiet, they were the most sublime manifestations of a desperate enemy: Japanese balloon bombs. Made of rice paper, at once ingenious and deadly, they sailed thousands of miles across the Pacific...and once they started landing, the U.S. scrambled teams to find and defuse them, and then keep them secret from an already anxious public. Eighteen-year-old Louis Belk was one of those men. Dispatched to the Alaskan frontier, young Sergeant Belk was better trained in bomb disposal than in keeping secrets. And the mysteries surrounding his mission only increased when he met his superior officer—a brutal veteran OSS spy hunter who knew all too well what the balloons could do—and Lily, a Yup’ik Eskimo woman who claimed she could see the future. Louis’s superior ushers him into a world of dark secrets; Lily introduces Louis to an equally disorienting world of spirits—and desire. But the world that finally tests them all is Alaska, whose vastness cloaks mysteries that only become more frightening as they unravel. Chasing after the ghostly floating weapons, Louis embarks upon an adventure that will lead him deep into the tundra. There, on the edge of the endless wilderness, he will make a discovery and a choice that will change the course of his life. At once a heart-quickening mystery and a unique love story, The Cloud Atlas is also a haunting, lyrical rendering of a little-known chapter in history. Brilliantly imagined, beautifully told, this is storytelling at its very best.

Book excerpt: Josie Bates was done with the law; the law wasn't done with her. Josie Bates abandoned her fast-track career when her spectacular Los Angeles courtroom win became a devastating personal tragedy. Now, working at a small practice in Hermosa Beach, California, Josie rebuilds her life, opening herself to Archer, an emotionally vulnerable ex-cop, and Hannah, a troubled teen. But the tranquility of beach life is no protection, and Josie is thrust back into high stakes law where it is lethal to lose. With twists and turns, cliff hangers and red herrings, this suspense-filled series explores the dark side of the law, the strength of real love, the intrusion of politics, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the immense power of the righteous few who stand strong in the face of pure evil.

In this special box set from USA TODAY bestselling author Kate Bridges, you'll find the first four books in the award-winning Alaska Cowboys and Mounties series. These romantic and exciting western historical romances will make you smile, swoon and cheer! Alaska and the Yukon, 1898 Book 1: COLT (full length novel) Meet COLT, the strong and silent Mountie who's forced to escort the beautiful, brainy and talkative Elizabeth to the Klondike Gold Rush. Mountie Colt Hunter is on a dangerous undercover mission with his team of Mounties, traveling to Alaska and the Yukon, and the last thing he wants is the delicate doctor Elizabeth Langley joining them. He agrees to take her on the road only if she goes in disguise too--as his make-believe sister. Elizabeth thinks that pretending to be his sister is ridiculous. But she can fake it as well as he can. Book 2: LUKE (full length novel) Meet LUKE and Evie, who get accidentally married. Mountie Luke Hunter, a veterinarian for horses, is shocked when he stands in as a groom for a proxy wedding and is accidentally married to Evie Summerville. It was only supposed to be a formality for the paperwork while her real fiancé satisfies his gold fever out of town. But when the ailing judge writes the wrong names on the marriage certificate, Luke is officially stuck with Evie. To top if off, the judge was suffering from measles, and now the entire wedding party is quarantined. Book 3: DYLAN (full length novel) Meet DYLAN, a Mountie who is handcuffed and on the run with his beautiful but frustrating "pretend" wife, Lily. Rugged Mountie Dylan Wayburn goes undercover as a drifter in a stagecoach and is seated across from a gorgeous redhead from his past, Lily Cromwell. She doesn't recognize him at first, but she was once his family servant. My, how her fortunes have turned--she's struck gold and is now Klondike Lily, the richest woman in town. She's too fancy for the likes of him now, and could blow his cover sky high. Book 4: WESTON (a novella) Meet WESTON, a Mountie who never thought he would marry, much less be forced to the altar with a gun to his back. Mountie Weston Williams vows to focus on his duties as a new police recruit, and steer clear of Milly Thornbottom. He was quarantined with Milly and her troublesome family last summer during a scare of measles. Now at the Spring Fever Ball, Milly is all grown up, no longer awkward, and has a confidence Weston finds riveting. When he asks her to dance, it leads to a heated kiss and passionate embrace, witnessed by her father. Weston is marched to the altar at gunpoint to protect Milly's honor. "With passion and danger, just the right touch of humor, and exquisitely developed characters...a highly recommended read." CataRomance on COLT Each book is a wonderful standalone story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel

Book excerpt: In his Nautilus Award-winning classic Touching Spirit Bear, author Ben Mikaelson delivers a powerful coming-of-age story of a boy who must overcome the effects that violence has had on his life. After severely injuring Peter Driscal in an empty parking lot, mischief-maker Cole Matthews is in major trouble. But instead of jail time, Cole is given another option: attend Circle Justice, an alternative program that sends juvenile offenders to a remote Alaskan Island to focus on changing their ways. Desperate to avoid prison, Cole fakes humility and agrees to go. While there, Cole is mauled by a mysterious white bear and left for dead. Thoughts of his abusive parents, helpless Peter, and his own anger cause him to examine his actions and seek redemption—from the spirit bear that attacked him, from his victims, and, most importantly, from himself. Ben Mikaelsen paints a vivid picture of a juvenile offender, examining the roots of his anger without absolving him of responsibility for his actions, and questioning a society in which angry people make victims of their peers and communities. Touching Spirit Bear is a poignant testimonial to the power of a pain that can destroy, or lead to healing. A strong choice for independent reading, sharing in the classroom, homeschooling, and book groups.

For the colony to survive, they must all learn to trust God’s promises.
