Alaska by Cate Sherwood

Holden is a doctor who is ruled by his father, who happens to also be his boss.
Holden's father demands that Holden go to Alaska to perform the impossible task of bringing home Gage, who used to work with his father.
Holden does not want to go, but he has no choice.
When he finds Gage, Gage won't even listen to him.
Gage refuses to return to that city or to work with Holden's dad again.
That is just NOT an option for Gage.

As the days go on, Holden is stranded in Alaska because of a storm.
After his father fires him, he is invited to stay with Gage and work as a doctor with Gage.
As they explore the chemistry between each other, feelings just might get involved.
But how could a relationship work if Holden doesn't want to live in Alaska and Gage doesn't want to leave Alaska?

What can I say?  

I enjoyed every damn second of this book!!!

I felt bad for Holden from the very beginning.  He was at his father's mercy for all parts of his life.  He might have been a rich kid growing up, but he certainly didn't have an easy time of it.
And Gage.  What's not to like about Gage?  He wants to help people.  He wants to work as a doctor where people truly need him.  He is a good guy.
The chemistry between the two men is hot.  And their friendship / relationship that develops is natural, heart-felt, and fun to witness.
I was excited to see that this story would take place in Alaska.  I love stories that take place in remote Alaskan towns.  The town and the small amount of people that live there always become a part of the story.   And Cate did a wonderful job of doing that in this book.

I have read a couple of Cate's other books, but I definitely want to go back and try to read more of them now.
