Misty Meadows (Port Promise #3)

A wildlife biologist who hates hunters. The Alaskan hunting guide her university hired anyway. And one caribou neither of them can afford to lose.

Dr. Aris Thorne arrives at a remote Alaskan lodge with one mission: collar a caribou bull she’s spent three years studying and finish the research her late mentor died trying to complete.

The last thing she wants is the rugged hunting guide her university paired her with, a man whose entire profession contradicts everything she stands for.

Nash Hollister doesn’t trade in trophies—he trades in survival.

The wilderness raised him. Hunting fed his family for generations.

He’s been hired to keep one stubborn scientist alive long enough to finish her work, and he’s not interested in clients who refuse the food on his plate.

But the more time he spends with Aris, the more her exposed contradictions and quiet grief crack the wall between them—and Nash isn’t built to walk away from a woman who’s freezing her principles to the bone.

She came for a caribou. He came for a paycheck. Neither of them planned for an Alaskan storm, an aggressive wolf pack, and a slow burn neither one is willing to put out.
