In the great north woods she set out on an improbable quest for love...
Linnet McLeod —Deep in her innermost being was a father-shaped void, formed by the man who had abandoned her as an infant. She must find him, if only to find herself...
Simon McLaren —Linnet had never known a man like him—a quiet man—exuding strength and gentleness, fire and faith—a faith that ran deep as the great rivers they traveled. Who was he and what did he want from her?
James Landry —He didn't appear to be the kind of man to brave the rigors of wilderness living. He was too much the English gentleman, too refined, too handsome. Yet his was an invitation she could not resist, "A mutual quest," he said. "Mine born of duty; yours, of love."

You know, this Christian-romance book isn't brilliant or earth-shaking or anything like that, but my paperback copy has survived all the book purges involved in military moves over the past thirty-some years, and I have read it so many times that the cover is starting to fall apart. If this doesn't make it a 5-star book in its genre, I don't know what does!
The story of a naive, motherless young woman, raised by her paternal aunt, who decides to go in search of the father who exists to her only in the form of occasional support drafts from the North West Fur Company. Which leads to adventure, culture shock, intrigue, and romance in the vast territories of Canada.
If you enjoy adventure in your romance and a hero who remains in the reader's heart year after year, do your best to find a copy of this book from one of my favorite short-romance authors.

I was intrigued by a naive girl's plunge into wilderness and romance. In 1818 Linnet McLeod set out from Detroit on a quest to find her father in the north woods. She was accompanied by a man of fire and faith, and by an English gentleman with a taste for the pleasures of life. How will Linnet deal with the dangers and temptations?
