A single Dad. A personal ad. What could possibly go wrong?
When Seattle journalist, Amanda McKendrick, pitches a new story about the increase of bear attacks in Sitka, her newspaper sends her north for two weeks. While there, she answers the personal ad of single dad, Luke Kingston, looking for a little no-strings-attached fun to pass the time.
But the sweet, widowered father of three—who just happens to be a smokin’ hot state trooper—turns out to be a lot more than Amanda bargained for. As the days go by, she wonders if it’ll be possible to return to Seattle without leaving her heart behind.

Review Copy Provided by Author
Originally published as a novella in an anthology, this expanded version of Single in Sitka is a fun read.
Amanda and Luke are great characters with an unorthodox meeting. The instant connection turned budding friendship that has potential for more is entertaining and I enjoyed watch them muddle through trying to see if a vacation fling has the legs to be more.
Ms Regnery did an excellent job of portraying the complications of trying to build a relationship while living in different cities and juggling the needs of careers and families. The fact that Luke is a widower with children is handled gracefully. I appreciated the balanced approach that was taken to address both the needs of the kids and the budding romance between Luke and Amanda, I especially liked the fact the kids were not a vehicle for conflict in the story.
This is a light and sexy must read. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next in the series.
