Synopsis:<\/strong>

During a brutal winter, a young woman longing for love finds more than she expected in the woods, in this wickedly sensuous short story by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic.<\/p>\n

Judith knows her sister, Alice, is the pretty one\u2014but that doesn\u2019t stop her from wishing for love. When a handsome and gentlemanly hunter appears in their village, seeking lodging from the cold, she believes her lover has finally arrived. He does, indeed, choose to stay\u2014but as Alice\u2019s husband, not her own. When another stranger comes out of the woods, looking every bit a vagrant, he offers Judith something mysterious and enticingly strange. Against reason and decency, she welcomes both men into her life, in different ways. As forbidden longings ensnare each of them, an unrelenting winter storm and an evasive wolf on the prowl have everyone on edge\u2026and ravenous. By spring thaw, will any of their hungers be satisfied?<\/p>\nGet the Book:<\/strong> Amazon<\/a>\r\n
