North Pole Anthology 4

You Can Count on Me

After Vivian Pukajaak's parents were killed in a whaling accident, she
wanted nothing more to do with the traditional Inupiat ways her family
held dear. She's made a good life in North Pole; unfortunately, in such a small town, it seems like every guy she might consider dating has recently fallen in love.

Anik, famous Inupiat artist and expert on tribal culture, returns
to the town he fled after high school, hoping he won't be
recognized as Abram Silaluk, the bullied fat geek who had a serious
crush on Vivian Pukajaak.

In spite of his secret and her troubled past, Vivian and Anik are drawn
to each other. With North Pole going Halloween-crazy all around them,
can they put their ghosts to rest? Or will heartbreak and mistrust keep
them forever apart?
