Manors of Winter

A haunting Gothic Christmas romance set in 1890s EnglandWhen Lady Eveline Harcourt returns to Winterbourne Manor for Christmas 1890, she expects strained politeness and cold civility-not whispers in the corridors, falling candles, or the chilling sense that she is being watched. The grand home she once loved has become a place of shadows and secrets.Her estranged husband, Lord Nathaniel Harcourt, has withdrawn into grief and guilt after the loss of their children. Rumors claim he has taken another woman into his confidence-and perhaps into his heart. Yet beneath his brooding silence is a man haunted by regret and longing, unsure whether he deserves forgiveness.When strange accidents mount and ghostly echoes stir through the snowbound estate, Eveline begins to suspect that the threat is not from beyond the grave… but within the walls of Winterbourne itself. As Christmas Eve approaches, danger tightens its grip, forcing Eveline and Nathaniel to face the truth of what tore them apart-and what might still bind them together.When the Snow Fell on Winterbourne is a richly atmospheric Gothic Christmas novella filled with candlelit tension, simmering passion, and the fragile miracle of a love rekindled in the darkest winter night. I've always been drawn to a good, suspenseful mystery. As a young girl, my mother and I would lose ourselves in the aisles of dusty used bookstores, searching for old gothic romances-stories where shadows held secrets, and danger lurked behind every creaking door.These novels were filled with brooding men guarding crumbling estates on windswept cliffs, and young heroines unknowingly stepping into webs of deception. That sense of suspense and intrigue has stayed with me ever since.Storytelling has been my lifelong passion, and after life's many twists and turns, I've found my way back to writing romance and mysteries-the kind that keep you turning pages late into the night.Now, I live aboard a boat on the Gulf Coast of Florida with my husband and three kids. When I'm not writing, you'll find me exploring hidden beaches, experimenting in the kitchen, tackling endless boat projects, or chasing our next adventure.

One near kiss. One forbidden love. One winter that changes everything.

But beneath the glittering chandeliers, a masked stranger kisses her at midnight…and something in her heart awakens. Days later, she arrives at Winterglen as a humble guest and comes face-to-face with the man behind the mask-James Everly, the elusive and honorable lord of the manor. Their spark is undeniable, yet society's cruel whispers and Serafina's stolen inheritance stand between them. As winter storms trap them together, secrets emerge, alliances crumble, and the Harfords' betrayal is exposed to the world. When danger stalks Serafina through the manor's shadowed halls, James vows to protect her-no matter the scandal. In a world determined to silence her, Serafina must fight for the life she deserves…and the love that refuses to let her go.
