Why these tropes fit
Alaskan Holiday follows sous chef Josie Avery, who takes a temporary summer job at a remote Alaskan lakeside lodge in the small town of Ponder to save money before starting her dream career in Seattle. Over the long summer days, Josie grows close to quiet, intense local master swordsmith Palmer Saxon, though she plans to leave when her position ends. When Josie misses the last boat out of town before winter, she is stranded in Ponder just as the holidays approach, forcing her to choose between the career she has worked for and the man she has fallen for, as the pair navigate the magic of the season and the possibility of a future together in the tight-knit community.
