In a land of eternal winter, even the coldest hearts can thaw.

Dr. Elena Larsen has spent her career in the shadows of more outspoken colleagues. The soft-spoken Danish anthropologist prefers ancient cultures to modern conversation, finding comfort in the stories of people long gone. When her controversial theory about Norse exploration beyond Greenland is ridiculed by her peers, Elena knows there's only one way to prove them wrong, find the legendary Norse Runestone rumored to lie beyond the Arctic Circle. If authentic, this single artifact would rewrite history and vindicate her life's work.

There's just one problem: reaching one of the most remote locations on Earth requires navigating treacherous ice floes and polar storms few ships can withstand.

Captain Nikolai Volkov has earned his reputation as the most fearless icebreaker captain in the Russian fleet. The taciturn mariner commands the respect of his crew through sheer force of will, his ship cutting through frozen seas that have claimed countless vessels before them. When approached to transport a scientist on what he considers a fool's errand, his first instinct is refusal—until the expedition's generous funding offers a lifeline for his aging vessel and loyal crew.

As their journey pushes north into increasingly dangerous waters, Elena and Nikolai find themselves battling more than just the merciless Arctic elements. A mysterious cult dedicated to preserving the secrets of the north will stop at nothing to keep them from reaching their destination. Trapped together in the isolated confines of the ship, the reserved academic and the hardened sailor clash at every turn—until unexpected moments of connection reveal depths beneath their frigid exteriors.

For Elena, who has always retreated from personal relationships into the safety of historical research, the intensity of her feelings for a man as complex and commanding as the Arctic itself is terrifying. For Nikolai, who has spent years ensuring his heart remains as frozen as the waters he navigates, opening himself to someone whose gentleness might expose the pain he keeps buried could be the greatest risk he's ever taken.

As temperatures drop and danger mounts, Elena and Nikolai must decide what matters most—preserving the separate lives they've built, or surrendering to a passion that, like the Arctic itself, is beautiful, perilous, and impossible to contain.

Will the ancient secrets of the ice lead to discovery—or destruction?

Perfect for fans who crave adventure in extreme environments, "Whispers of the Arctic" delivers bone-chilling suspense and smoldering romance against the breathtaking backdrop of the pristine polar wilderness. This standalone novel in Cora Price's Heart & Treasure series continues her signature blend of historical mysteries, heart-stopping danger, and love stories that burn even in the coldest settings.
