RECLUSIVE, SCARRED HERO & SHE’S HIS NEW NEIGHBOR ALERT!! The Winter Before by Karen Crompton is LIVE and she’s celebrating by sponsoring this week’s Friday newsletter and having an ebook giveaway!!
And when she finished the book, the author let us into her writing world, saying:
I have just written close to 75k words. These two are my favourite 😍
I have hours, days and weeks of editing to do before it’s really done, but the story is told and I’m really happy with it.
This book really pushed me. It was hard work and the story didn’t always want to be told. But I love Isaac Stone and I hope you guys will love him too. The Winter Before releases live March 25th 2021 ❄️.
…If you love a shy recluse meets sweet small town girl kinda romance, then THE WINTER BEFORE is the book for you! Set in the mountains of Montana, with a quirky cast of characters and a mysterious timber box that will keep you guessing until the end, The Winter Before has all that and more.
So what’s it about?
Isaac Stone has stood out ever since he was a boy. With a past as mysterious as the web of horrific scars marring his body, he’s no stranger to the attention of the locals in Woodlake, Montana. But he’s grown now, and a peaceful life in the mountains, far from small-town gossip, shouldn’t be impossible to find, should it?
Olivia Parker has big dreams that will take her far away from the small town she grew up in. But when she inherits a rundown cottage near secluded Briars Creek, she can’t resist the thrill of a new adventure and creating a home of her own. A home that’s right across the creek from Isaac Stone.
In place of the boy Olivia once knew, is a rugged man with emotional walls as imposing as the mountains around them. But Olivia is determined to unravel the secrets and in the seclusion of the mountainside, their connection sparks. And although Olivia is a bright spot in a lonely existence, Isaac is afraid his past demons are enough to cast them both in shadow.
