Foul play? Becca Baxter suspected her parents' fatal mishap was no accident -- especially since her estranged relatives profited handsomely. Taking a position as research assistant to her late cousin's husband, Max Duncan, enabled Becca to investigate secretly on the family island.

Yet the mullioned windows of Windigo Manor hid more than just the broodingly handsome widower. Someone, or something, seemed eager to drive Becca away, raising fears that a creature known only through Ojibwa legends stalked the island. As events spiraled out of control, Becca's strong faith sustained her, but could she trust Max with her life…and her love?
