"The Yukon comes alive in this exceptional story."

At 28, Charity Sinclair has never done anything exciting. Just once she wants to have an adventure and do something a little crazy. As a fiction editor for a well-respected New York City publishing house, Charity edits action/adventure novels, which has fueled her passion for the rugged outdoors. Seeking her adventure, as well as a financial opportunity, she makes an offer on a 20-acre gold claim in the Canadian Yukon. She feels her destiny has finally arrived.

McCall Hawkins is as at home in the Yukon as he is in the boardroom of his Seattle computer empire. He's a powerhouse in the software industry, as well as being rawhide tough, whipcord lean and hard as nails. Four years ago, Call returned to the Yukon in a self-inflicted exile, seeking a quiet place where he could forget the past and put his life back in order. But Charity is disrupting his quiet existence and making him feel things he never wanted to feel again.

A strange and unnerving series of events start happening as Call is about to stumble onto something that could ultimately destroy a competitor and everything he's worked for. This dangerous competitor will stop at nothing to prevent this from happening.

Ms. Martin brings us two exciting adventures. The first is a journey deep into the computer world, filled with mystery, suspense and danger. The second is a journey of the heart with a love story so wonderful it leaves us nothing short of enchanted. MIDNIGHT SUN captures the beauty of the Yukon in such a way that I could almost feel the chill on my skin and the brisk night air in my lungs. The writing is exceptional; the story spectacular. Add this to your keeper collection. Ms. Martin will win your heart, either for the first time or all over again.
