Taming the Wyld

The Witness Protection Program dumps JD Smith practically at the ends of the earth-in Two Pines, Alaska-to protect him until he can testify against a dangerous gang. He tries to stick to his story and keep his head down, but it's impossible to ignore bush pilot Jake Wylder, a sexy loner with quite a reputation around the small town. Flying medical supplies around Alaska suits Jake's wild streak and love of freedom. He's perfectly content to keep his romantic encounters casual-at least until he meets JD. Something about the nurse makes Jake think settling down might not be such a hardship. Now he just needs to convince JD he's serious-which won't be easy, given his past. For a relationship to stand a chance, JD must testify so he can return to Two Pines as the man he really is-and Jake must grow into the man JD needs him to be. States of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the United States.
