Escape to Port Promise: Romance, Wilderness, and All the Feels

Pack your sensible shoes and your paperbacks, because Port Promise might just be your next favorite fictional destination. Whether you're melting from a summer heat wave or dreaming of cozy cabin vibes, Port Promise is the perfect escape.

Here are four reasons you’ll fall head-over-hiking-boots in love with Port Promise:

✔️Cabin-Only Vibes: Think remote lodge, no cell service—complete wilderness immersion. Yes, you might have trouble downloading your next romance book, but you’ll have plenty of time to visit with the locals and breathing in the fresh air. No traffic (ATVs and snowmobiles are the only in-town modes of travel)

✔️Port Promise, Home of the Forced-Proximity Romance: Looking for romance? Whether it’s a snow storm trapping you inside with a man who’s escaped to Port Promise in search of healing and a second chance like in my Port Promise prequel Heart’s Haven, a flash flood taking out half the tents in your wilderness adventure group, forcing you into close quarters with a rugged wilderness guide like in Crystal Creek, or a fire destroying your cabin, forcing you to bunk up with a grumpy, sexy single dad like in Timber Ridge, Port Promise provides all the opportunities for a forced proximity romance.

✔️All the Small Town Vibes: Port Promise is the quintessential small town. Head to May’s Café for freshly-baked pie with a side of gossip. Gather with the townspeople at the community center for a potluck, complete with freshly-caught salmon and elk stew. (Don’t knock it until you try it.) Stock up on snacks at the store on the dock. Don’t see what you need? If you’ll be around for a while, ask Rhys to order it for you! Everything is simpler in Port Promise, and it’s glorious.

✔️It’s wild, remote, and breathtaking—just like the emotions Lena and Finn are forced to face in Crystal Creek.

So if you're craving romance with a touch of adventure, or just want to cool down with a story set in the Alaskan wilds, come spend some time in Port Promise. The cabins are cozy, the people are unforgettable, and the love stories are the kind that stay with you. Whether you're starting with Timber Ridge, the first book in the series, or Crystal Creek, the newest book in the series, there's no better time to fall in love with this tiny town with a big heart.
