Great Blend of Romance and Mystery

This is the third in a reasonably good series set in the Alaskan wilderness (book 1 - Love on the Line, book 2 - Forever and the Night). Kay Westmore is called on by her former boss, Grace Perry, to go on a covert mission to uncover an illegal plutonium mining operation. Kay goes on the mission with her trusted colleague Russ, but they also have to work with CIA agent Tory Mitchell. The worst part is Kay has to lie about the mission to Lela, her lover of two years, and leave while her best friend is suffering through chemo for breast cancer. There are no phones where they're going. Young delivers a quality story by intertwining the details of the mission with the reluctant romance between Kay and Tory. She also gets Russ involved in helping Kay deal with her guilt for cheating on Lela. Instead of being angry with Kay for her indiscretion, this reader felt only sorrow for how things finally ended between the three women. I've read most of Young's books. This is one of her best.
