She fled to the end of the world to escape her past. She never expected to find her future. Dr. Ylva Andersson’s life shattered the day she missed her mother’s final call—trapped in surgery while seventeen missed calls went unanswered. Five years later, burned out and broken, she accepts a six-month position in Hammerfest, Norway’s northernmost town. It’s supposed to be temporary. An escape. A place to disappear. But the Arctic has other plans. Aksel Nordvik hasn’t let anyone close since his wife died three years ago in a winter storm. The widowed reindeer herder has built walls around his heart as impenetrable as the frozen landscape he calls home. He doesn’t need rescue. He doesn’t want connection. He certainly doesn’t need the beautiful, haunted doctor who just arrived in his village. Yet when Aksel’s beloved foster mother suffers a devastating stroke, Ylva becomes the lifeline neither of them knew they needed. Between hospital vigils and late-night confessions, between the dancing northern lights and the stark beauty of the polar night, two shattered souls begin to heal. But when Ylva’s ex-boyfriend appears with promises of the life she left behind, she must choose: return to the career she worked years to build, or risk everything for a future with a man who’s still learning to love again. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Arctic Norway, Home Beneath the Northern Lights is a tender, emotionally powerful story about second chances, chosen family, and discovering that home isn’t a place—it’s a feeling. Perfect for fans of emotional small-town romance with grumpy-sunshine dynamics and swoon-worthy slow burns.
