When The Stars Ignite

What happens when a privileged city boy's world collides with the raw beauty of an Alaskan village?
Luke Cartier has it all-wealth, sophistication, and a perfectly planned life in California. But when a family Christmas trip to Alaska takes a dangerous turn, he finds himself lost in the unforgiving wilderness after a skiing accident that nearly costs him everything.
Rescued by locals and brought to a remote village hidden in the mountains, Luke awakens to a world he never knew existed. Under the care of Grandma Riverwood, a wise elder with ancient stories and healing hands, he begins to recover. But it's her granddaughter who truly changes everything.
Stella Riverwood is fire and ice-fierce like the Alaskan wind, yet warm enough to melt the coldest heart. As the village chief's daughter, she's rooted in traditions Luke can barely comprehend, living a life of simplicity that makes his California existence feel hollow and meaningless.
Trapped between two worlds, Luke discovers that sometimes getting lost is the only way to find yourself. As Alaska's endless nights stretch overhead, painting the sky in ribbons of green and gold, he and Stella share secrets under a canopy of stars that seem to burn just for them.
But when the time comes to choose between the life he's always known and the love he never saw coming, Luke must decide: Will he return to his gilded cage, or will he stay and build something real under Alaska's infinite stars?
A story of unexpected love, cultural clash, and finding home in the most unlikely places.
