But when his boss gets involved in a high-publicity scandal and needs to spend some time away from civilization, Jason thinks he might be in over his head. Not only do he and his coworkers get dragged away into the heart of the Alaskan backcountry, but they’re also stuck with a gruff hunk of a fishing guide who is dangerously handsome and lamentably straight. Jason’s been unlucky enough in love, and this new unreciprocated crush just makes him miserable. Nick isn’t exactly ecstatic to be working with Jason and his colleagues, either. The company’s CEO is a handful at the best of times, and one of his fellow guides winds up fueling his ego and his dangerous hijinks. To make matters even more stressful, he develops a fixation he can’t explain with the CEO’s gay assistant. As the two work together to corral Jason’s boss, they find that they have a lot in common. Nick isn’t interested in men, but with Jason he just might make an exception.
