He lives in a world of winter.
Sled dog musher and outdoor adventurer Nick Dahlquist doesn’t mean to be a loner—he just feels at home in the woods, with his dogs, and also online in his vlogging world, where he’s amassed nearly a million viewers. But he’s just a simple guy, with simple goals—care for his dogs, teach people how to survive the cold, and run the Iditarod. Unfortunately, life turns cold when his lead dog is injured, and he’s low on funds. Good thing he has LadyJHawk to chat with. She’s become an online friend he can turn to, and he’s starting to need her more than he’d like to admit. But the last thing he wants is for some random woman to show up on his doorstep…
She doesn’t belong in his world.
Chopper pilot and Texas gal Jae Lynn Washington has been following Nick’s DogQuest videos and Get Lost in the Woods vlogs since she inherited her deceased boyfriend’s military working dog. Three years later, his encouragement and help as online chat buddies have made her wonder if he could be more than a friend. What if she moved to Deep Haven? Would that be considered stalking, even if she had a bonafide job on the Crisis Response Team?
But she’s determined to try…
When Jae shows up in Deep Haven—and on Nick’s doorstep—he’s not at all the man she met online. The last thing she’ll do is tell him she’s really LadyJHawk. And when Nick is tapped to train the Crisis Response Team, he’s pretty sure that petite, summer-loving Jae won’t last a moment in the brutal cold—a fear he pours out to LadyJHawk. As their training takes a personal turn, their chilly start begins to thaw. But is he ready to shake off his online relationship for the one in real life? And if Jae tells him the truth, will it spook him back into the woods?
When a blizzard strikes, and the CRT is called out into the storm, it might be too late…
Cozy up to this delightful, wintery twist on You’ve Got Mail set in the snowy escape of Deep Haven.

My Review
Right Here Waiting
by Michelle Sass Aleckson, Susan May Warren
Book 6 in the Deep Haven Collection
Rating: 4.5/5
Wow. If you are at all a fan of dogsledding and SAR, you will devour this book! I loved this new story and was so excited to read Nick’s story since he was introduced in a previous book. Who doesn’t love a good romcom like You’ve Got Mail? Who hasn’t felt brokenhearted over a past crush? This story was fun, hilarious, heartwarming and full of action.
As someone who is also Asian-American, I was pleasantly surprised that the heroine was Korean-American and loved how the author included parts of Korean culture and food in the story. I love Korean food and could easily relate to Jae’s fears about sharing her unique (yet delicious) food with her Texas cousins. I have my own Asian comfort foods that not everyone would enjoy but I appreciated such an honest anecdote. I loved the friendship between Jae and Nick that developed before they met. I loved the chemistry between the two of them and was definitely rooting for them to be together. I always appreciate when the author can weave her faith into the story in a such a beautiful and poignant way. Dealing with their past hurts and regrets, the main characters find a way to heal and find acceptance with the help of their trust in God.
“All he knew was kissing Jae was an adventure he hoped would never end.”
As someone who loves a good clean romance, I highly recommend this fun story about finding love, acceptance and family in Deep Haven. You won’t regret it!
My thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC of the book. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own. No positive review was expected and no compensation received.
