Shy, introverted romance writer Etta Prescott is a huge fan of the number-one country singer Travis Masters, but she never dreamed she’d actually meet him, not until her twin sister gets involved. A trip to the Calgary Stampede and a romantic ride in the Alberta moonlight with handsome, affable Travis leads Etta to believe romance isn’t limited to other people or the pages of her books. Travis Masters has it all—successful singing career, top of the charts, scheduled European tour. But with all the women throwing themselves at him, he still hasn’t found the one who makes his heart sing. Not until one morning he happens on a young lady wanting to learn how to ride a horse. But why were a couple of Mounties escorting her and her sister to the airport? Getting involved with someone with a questionable reputation could ruin his clean country-boy image, as his gung-ho agent keeps reminding him…

Gail MacMillan has always wanted to be a writer. She was 30 years old when her first book, Forest of Fear, was published for Avalon in 1974. Since then she has gone on to write three novels for Avalon, a variety of articles and stories for magazines in Canada and the United States, and two books on her favorite dog, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. For a 1992 article on this breed, Gail was awarded a Maxwell Medal in New York by the Dog Writers' Association of America for the best article in a canine magazine or newspaper.

Gail's other interests include reading, horses, and canoeing. She currently lives in Bathurst, New Brunswick with her husband, Ron, and two dogs, a Sheltie mix and, of course, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
