Faye had always dreamed of living way up north, marvelling at the northern lights, suffering through the winters. When an opportunity came up to be the natural resource manager for a national park up there, she dove in head first!

Maciek had just had his heart cut out and replaced with someone else’s, and anyway academia was getting boring. Since he’d been foolish enough to accept Faye’s offer of marriage, he decided to double down and follow her to a place where the sun barely rose and the temperature only fell.
