Hard Luck, Alaska a town that needs women

Location: 50 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Population: 150 mostly men but growing Because the O'Halloran brothers, who run a bush-plane charter service called Midnight Sons, are heading a campaign to bring women to Hard Luck.

Sawyer O'Halloran. He's the middle brother. Pilot and part owner of Midnight Sons. And, if the truth be told, he's not entirely in favor of this scheme. But he considers himself immune to the charms of any woman he's adamantly against marriage and he's not too sure about love

Abbey Sutherland. Single mother of two adorable kids. Veteran of one bad marriage. Wants a new beginning not a new romance. She responds to the Midnight Sons ad and is delighted to accept their offer. But there's a complication or two. She hasn't told the O'Hallorans she's arriving with children

Charles O'Halloran. The oldest brother. Surveyor and not-so-silent partner in Midnight Sons. Like his brothers, he has a distrust of marriage in general and a distrust of anyone related to Catherine Harmon Fletcher, the woman who did so much to destroy his parents' marriage. Lanni Caldwell. She's the only woman Charles has ever fallen for, the only one who might convince him to take the marriage risk. They meet when she visits Hard Luck on a family matter. But there's something Lanni hasn't told Charles and doesn't want to. She's Catherine's granddaughter ."
