DESCRIPTION: The last person Michaela Dunn expected to meet when she took on the responsibilities of running her uncle’s snowmobile lodge in northern New Brunswick was a man like Travis Harding. Driving a team of huskies and buried under a heavy growth of hair and beard, he was as feral and earthy as Mikey, a Toronto lawyer with strange psychic powers, was civilized and sophisticated. Yet from their first encounter, sparks flew between them. |
| Then they discover they have a common enemy. Ralph May, a local businessman with a shady past and even more infamous present, is out to get revenge on both Mikey and Travis for two vastly different reasons. When Ralph’s body is found in the charred remains of his wilderness retreat, Travis and Mikey discover they’re both suspects in his death. The pair has to combine forces to clear themselves. Here Mikey’s psychic ability to recognize guilt or innocence comes into play. Like a human divining rod, she sets out to find a killer, Travis by her side. But once the killer becomes aware that Mikey is on the trail, the murderer decides both Mikey and Travis must die. Their days and nights become a battle to survive in the bitter February cold bush with a person intent on their deaths closing in on them. | |

REVIEWS: "Gail MacMillan writes a great story with A Wolf in Winter. I really enjoyed reading it and had a hard time putting it down. It is a tale of two different lives coming together and helping each other, even if they don’t really know each other. I fell in love with Travis because of his manner to Mickey and then his trust in her to get him out of trouble. A Wolf in Winter will keep you turning the pages until the end and then keep you wanting more. Thank you, Ms. MacMillan, for such a great read. I’ll be looking forward to more of your books." Reviewed by Moonluster of Fallen Angel Reviews, 5 ANGELS "...an intriguing (story). We don't learn much about the mysterious Travis until well into the story, but we do know he is a good man willing to help and protect. But why didn't Mikey know that Travis is lying when he tells her he is an author? Readers will wait for the other shoe to drop from the bad guy, Ralph. He creates a lot of mischief and mayhem, and wants to buy the lodge from Mikey's aunt and uncle. My favorite secondary character is Doc, the lead dog who loves to lie by the fire, but takes command of the other dogs and protects his master. A fast and easy read, A WOLF IN WINTER has good dialogue, interesting secondary characters, and good pacing. There is romantic tension as well as suspense, and is a very satisfying tale."

Excerpt: The cold hurt. Gnawing into her flesh, it burned and coiled, making her ache and pain in every inch of her body. If someone didn't find her soon, she'd need fingers or toes or possibly entire limbs amputated. Fear surged over Mikey Dunn as it never had before. Suddenly she thought of Travis, hurtling down the dark road, desperate for news of his mother, completely unaware it was Mikey who was in mortal danger. Not knowing that she loved him. She'd been stupid not to tell him, to have wasted precious time believing it had only been her penchant for outlaws that had made him so appealing. Travis was simply Travis Harding, a completely wonderful man she'd never allowed herself to truly love. And now she was going to die, without his knowing how she really felt, what they might have had together. In utter desperation, she wrenched at the ropes. She only succeeded in forcing them deeper into her burning, freezing flesh. Then she heard a great crash. Glass breaking. A moment later, a dog was scratching desperately at the door. Doc! He must have leaped through the window of the room in which she'd confined him. Her mind, fuzzing with cold, tried to think of some way she could use the dog to rescue her. She couldn't come up with any. The shed windows, for security, were barred. Even if she could have directed Doc to one, he couldn't get in. And, then, Doc was no TV stunt dog. She very much doubted she could get him to gnaw her free of her ropes. "Travis," she breathed, her head swimming as pain and lassitude overwhelmed. "Travis, I love you." |
