Running Wild

K.A. Tucker

Book 3 of The Simple Wild

Set against the backdrop of rural Alaska, this is the story of veterinarian Marie Lehr, a side character from the earlier Simple Wild books, as she confronts her habit of falling for unavailable men. When she clashes with newly arrived competitive dog musher Tyler Brady, the friction between them slowly gives way to something deeper while she volunteers at the Iditarod. Along the way Marie must reckon with her own long-buried feelings, a complicated family situation, and a man carrying grief of his own. It's a slow-burn small-town romance that revisits beloved characters from the series while giving Marie her own emotional arc.
