"Very amusing"

Jeffrey Bradshaw never knew he had a twin brother until he arrived in Alaska on a business trip where he met his sibling airline owner Jordan Adamson for first time. His pilot Cyd Thompson flies Jeffrey to Arctic Luck where he wants to host a TV series on the last frontier. He plans to make a fast visit and scurry back to his LA home to protect his chances of advancement.

A storm forces Jeffrey and Cyd to stay put. Though unhappy, the city slicker adapts nicely to the wilderness. On the other hand Cyd does not want a TV series destroying the beauty of her state so she tries to delay his leaving for LA even when the weather abates, not realizing that Jordan has taken Jeffrey's place in LA. As Cyd and Jeffrey enjoy the great outdoors they fall in love, but can a frontier woman and an urban player find common ground somewhere on the North American continent?

Twins seemingly are multiplying at an incredible rate in the fiction realm with Temptation joining in the mathematics with a pair serving as the lead in two of the August sweepstakes. Still Colleen Collins provides the audience with an amusing contemporary romance in which the Alaskan backdrop serves as a mighty scene for two individuals who are a 180 degrees apart on everything but love. The story line focuses on Cyd's efforts to keep Jordan occupied with help from her feisty Aunt. Colleen Collins provides a lighthearted romp that shows you can take the stud out of California, but you can't take the sunshine out of the Alaskan bedroom.

Summary

WHEN IT'S THIS CLOSE...

Jeffrey Bradshaw's well-ordered life has just taken a detour. Instead of being in L.A. making the pitch of his career, he's stuck in Alaska with a feisty bush pilot. Seductive, independent Cyd Thompson has him so captivated, he's not even thinking about his career. All Jeffrey can focus on is the snow-melting heat he and Cyd create. He'll let his newly discovered twin handle L.A. until he's gotten Cyd out of his system.

MAYBE THE ONLY THING TO DO IS GET CLOSER!

Cyd wants Jeffrey...she just doesn't want him here. His big-city plans are bound to destroy the Alaska she loves. So she'll do anything she can to distract him from finalizing his business. And if that means seducing the guy...well, she'll do that. But she doesn't count on falling for Jeffrey's intoxicating kisses.

So what else can Cyd do but convince him that in the Arctic, there's no such thing as getting too close for comfort?
