Like a Winter Snow
(2019)(The first book in the Port Willis Romance series)
A Novella by Lindsay Harrel
Cozy up with this charming and uplifting romance all about unexpected love, true friendship, and family loyalty. Set during a Christmas-time wedding among the falling snow, this sweet story will warm your heart.
Women's counselor Joy Beckman has always been a friend and helper to all. That's why she's given up everything to be with her parents as her mother suffers through Alzheimer's. Joy may not have a thriving career or a love life at the moment, but she's doing what she does best - taking care of others. And even though it's difficult, she knows it's where she is supposed to be.
But life throws a curveball when she has to leave her parents temporarily to travel to Cornwall, England, for the December wedding of her best friend. While there, Joy helps Sophia tackle her last-minute to-do list, and in the process, finally meets a man who turns her head - and her heart. The only problem? He lives in snowy London, and her life is with her parents back in sunny Florida.
She tries to resist Oliver Lincoln's charms, but it's harder than it should be. With her heart torn in two, Joy is forced to choose between a life she knows she's meant for and the one she didn't see coming.
Fall in love with this enchanting story that's sure to delight fans of sweet romance. Even if you have not read The Secrets of Paper and Ink (where the quaint village of Port Willis was first born), you can fully enjoy this heartwarming holiday novella.
"A romantic Christmas story set in beautiful seaside England? Yes, please! Lindsay Harrel's Like a Winter Snow is the perfect mix of depth and charm. Joy and Oliver are so likable and relatable - and together, they're just plain adorable. Plus, I can't help but love that they're a little older than your average hero and heroine. From the Christmasy atmosphere to moments both swoony and poignant, I loved this story...and I know readers will, too!" - Melissa Tagg, Carol Award-winning author of Now & Then & Always and the Walker Family series
"Like a Winter Snow offers all the depth of emotion Lindsay's readers have come to expect from her books - wrapped up with a wonderful Christmas bow! A beautiful story of learning to let go of the uncontrollable and opening your heart to love. I highly recommend!" - Liz Johnson, bestselling author of The Red Door Inn
"The sumptuous sea-swept shores of Cornwall provide a unique and alluring canvas for Harrel's Like a Winter Snow. Readers wishing for an arm-chair vacation for the holidays will find themselves happily accompanied by Joy and Oliver to a beguiling British setting. Borrowing the enchanting village from her reader favorite The Secrets of Paper and Ink, Harrel's foray into Christmas romance is bolstered by a strong and empathetic look at love, faith, restoration and the promise of love where we least expect it. I hope to revisit Port Willis for many reading adventures to come." - Rachel McMillan, author The Three Quarter Time series
