The Wolf Man

Belinda is a linguist whose work depends on reaching the Nasaqs, a nomadic people living in the icy far north of Canada. Guarding their private lives closely, they are hard to approach, and Barron is the only man who might open the way for her. He has chosen to live as one of them, and Belinda cannot tell why, nor why he is known as "the wolf." His past is unclear.

She needs his cooperation, but he may refuse. Hostility runs deep and goes both ways, yet a strong physical pull draws the two of them together anyway.
