Northern Lights

Lunacy, Alaska - population 506 - is Nate Burke's last chance. As a
Baltimore cop, he had watched his partner die - and the guilt still
haunts him. Maybe serving as Chief of Police in this tiny, remote town,
where darkness falls by mid-afternoon and temperatures fall to below
zero, will bring some kind of solace. It isn't as if he has anywhere
else to go. Aside from sorting out a run-in between a couple of motor
vehicles and a moose - and pulling apart two brothers fighting over John
Wayne's best movie - Nate's first weeks on the job are relatively
quiet. But as he wonders whether this was all a big mistake, an
unexpected kiss from feisty bush pilot Meg Galloway under the brilliant
Northern Lights of the Alaska sky lifts his spirit - and convinces him
to stay just a little longer... Born and raised in Lunacy, Meg has
learned to be independent. But there's something about Nate's sad eyes
that gets under her skin, and warms her frozen heart. However, when two
climbers find a corpse on the mountain, Nate discovers that Lunacy isn't
quite the sleeply little backwater he imagined...
