Michigan Mystery","description":"\u003cp\u003eTucked away in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the village of Peshekee has more to worry about than the long winters and steelhead fishing. Scandal and a suspicious death or two visit the rural village, setting speculation and gossip into motion. After her post-college career collapses, Kat Wilde finds herself living with the family cat in her parents' basement. With no other prospects on the horizon, Kat is offered a gift she can't refuse: inheriting her late uncle's failed equine venture, Wildwood Stables. There, she sees hope for regaining independence from a pity job at Dad's accounting firm. Attracting the attention of Nikko Olsen, a local woods cop, leads to unconventional romance and adventure. The discovery of a corpse, along with disturbing encounters at the old horse campground, launches a spate of entanglements that unravel as Kat stumbles onto family sins and secrets. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I want to be Terri Martin's Kat Wilde in \u003cem\u003eGift Horse\u003c\/em\u003e: the reluctant recipient of a run-down horse boarding stable whose spirit is exceeded only by her heart!
