Résumé du livre
Was he a jilted lover, a world-weary tycoon, a fugitive from justice, or simply a burnt-out vagrant? No one in the small northern New Brunswick community knew. The hermit who lived in the upriver wilderness of Hart's Hollow was a complete mystery to the locals and they were content to leave it that way. Until February, when Toronto newspaper reporter Mitch (Michelle) Wallace arrives and decides he'd make great story material. With dogged determination, Mitch sets out to meet the man and uncover the secrets of his veiled past. Her interest in the hermit is purely professional, she tells herself. Recently betrayed by the man she believed loved her, Mitch has hardened her heart against ever again becoming romantically involved. But as she slowly unravels the truth about the hermit, she finds herself falling more and more under the spell of winter in this pristine country and discovering, for the first time, the true meaning of love.
