A brainy, relationship-wary crossword puzzle creator leaves New York for a remote New Hampshire cabin and connects with a reclusive trapper with an infamous past. While first published as a Harlequin Temptation in 1987 and somewhat dated, this early series romance foreshadows Delinsky's superb character development and story-weaving abilities and still has appeal.
