Like a Winter Snow
Book 1 of the Port Willis Romance series
148 pages · First published 2019
A winter setting frames a contemporary romance about people carrying old disappointments into a season usually associated with hope and renewal. Unexpected proximity and Christmas traditions create opportunities for friendship to deepen while unresolved hurts make both characters cautious about trusting what is developing between them. The emotional stakes remain grounded in family, faith, and the possibility of beginning again rather than in grand romantic gestures alone. This holiday novella offers a gentle, faith-inflected love story built around second chances and the quiet changes that can arrive with winter.
