Jillian Descharme, a newly graduated vet, is leery of taking up a job offer half way across the country with Connor Macleod at The North Star Animal Hospital in Dunvegan, Alberta, Canada. However, the pay is good and it will enable her to start paying off her student loan. So, after an arduous trip across country, she finally finds herself on the edge of the wilderness, working in a dream come true of a clinic and having uninvited guests dropping by at night.
Now however, Jillian thinks she is going insane. Not only is she dreaming of a huge white wolf nightly, she is starting to have very disturbing, make that sexually frustrating dreams of the irritatingly desirable James with his Viking blue eyes and comforting strength. But gruff and grumpy though the giant churl may be, there is an underlying tenderness and pain in James that calls to her spirit.
Fate has brought these two unsuspecting souls together. Nevertheless, neither is eager to trust the other, even if their own instincts, or rather raging hormones, are telling them that theirs will be an unforgettable union. For James, still burdened with guilt and haunted by the death of his loved ones, will do everything to avoid bringing harm to another. Determined, he strives to keep his distance from the enticing Jillian, even though she is the most desirable woman, heck the only woman he has been tempted by for a very long time.
But as James and Jillian warily starts a passionate journey of healing and acceptance, danger lurks in the shadows of the path. An unrepentant murderer is still on the loose, and he is preparing to finish what he set out to do so many years ago. Definitely a heart wringer by Dani Harper, a wonderful, unforgettable tale of a man broken by tragedy and guilt as he finds love and acceptance from a woman courageous enough to heal the HEART OF THE WINTER WOLF.
