A Wolf in Winter  by  Gail Macmillan

 When his silhouette filled the doorway of the isolated wilderness lodge Michaela (Mikey) Dunn was temporarily managing, she believed her heart stopped. Ever since she’d returned to northern New Brunswick, she’d dreaded a revengeful reunion with Ralph May, the man she’d disfigured years early during a night of teenage indiscretion. She felt limp with relief when she discovered the man outlined in the last rays of February daylight was a stranger named Travis Harding.  Travis lived alone in the bush, driving a team of huskies and professing to write books so raunchy he advised Mikey not to read them. He hardly seemed the hero Mikey needed to save from a wolf in winter like Ralph May…or was he?

When a Gattan warrior loves a woman, nothing will stop him from claiming her - not breaking his society's long-standing traditions on a world not his own nor the fact that this woman's brother was once an enemy.

From the first moment Marljas caught sight of Sheala's curvaceous body and mischievous eyes, he wanted her. When she accidentally cut him, she sealed her fate. She’d blooded his neck, claiming him in true Gattan tradition. {{Jenny McDay}}By all rights, she was his.

Raised on the hedonistic planet Drakan, Sheala learned a myriad of ways to please a lover. However, she decides to practice the sensual arts she had learned on the handsome Gattan visiting her family. The virile lion man with golden hair, tufted ears, and an Alalakan dragon tattoo his shoulder fascinated her. But it was the huge bulge between his legs that came alive every time she was near him that captured her attention. Oh, yes, Marljas would be her first true lover.

After Sheala is kidnapped and tortured by a family enemy, the indulged, protected young woman she’d been disappeared. Hoping Marljas will heal her physically and mentally, Sheala initiates the blood ritual that would bind her to him forever.

The fire he ignites in her soul does much, much more.

When burned-out action star Arian Adams arrives at his parents’ home, he stumbles into bed and lands in the arms of a mysterious stranger named Angel. Their connection appears to be fated, bringing to life the predictions of his agent-manager—danger and an angelic beauty will be his next great adventure. Shaken by visions of his astrological sign drinking from the water of Aquarius each time he touches Angel, Arian’s strong belief in astrology warns him—she’s his Venus, his life mate. But she can’t be, he knows nothing about her other than she’s beautiful and makes him aroused just by standing near him. Though Arian wants her, he’s got one big problem—not knowing her past.

Angel is on the run, desperately hoping to evade her past. She seeks solace in a small town named Chance, hoping the town’s name will signal a normal life. But it’s far from normal when a gorgeous hunk jumps in her bed and ignites an insatiable need for hot sex. Though Angel wants him, keeping her secrets from Arian could destroy their connection forever.
