Foxfire — Margaret L. Carter

A man and woman who shun human contact discover they are meant for each other, when Tabitha turns to her mountaintop neighbor, Kenji, for help in finding her runaway sister.

Tabitha hides away from the world to escape the pain of other people's emotions invading her mind. Kenji lives alone in a mountain cabin because he fears his untamed shape-shifting power. He is half kitsune -- part man and part fox.

Only by sharing the secrets of their wild talents can these two lonely people unite and become whole.
