Northern Lights [Paperback]

Let #1 New York Timesbestselling author Nora Roberts fly you into Lunacy, Alaska, and into a colorful, compelling novel about two lonely souls who are searching for love and redemption...

As a Baltimore cop, Nate Burke watched his partner die on the street—and the guilt still haunts him.
