The Midnight Carousel

A Forest Falls Frolic: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Some wishes come with a price.

Belle Stanhope had plans. Good plans. Practical plans. None of them involved Hudson Carver. The florist with the crooked smile had become a distraction she neither wanted nor could avoid. Which was inconvenient, considering the Pretty River Inn and the upcoming bachelor auction left little room for distractions.

Hudson had been content with the life he'd made for himself beneath Christmas Mountain. His flower shop and the friends who had become family were more than he'd ever expected. Then he met Belle Stanhope.

As Christmas approaches, the carousel's calliope sings off-key, and the old magic Hudson left behind begins to stir. The life he's built is colliding with the past he thought he'd escaped—and choosing Belle may mean giving up the road back forever.

In Forest Falls, wishes have a way of finding the people who need them most.

I began my writing career in the pre-dawn of a winter morning while my husband snored like a train. We could call my husband the catalyst. If it weren’t for him, I would never have gone to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, feed the cat, and sit on the loveseat in front of the fire. It was there, in those moments of wondrous quiet, that I did something I had never thought possible. I opened my laptop, and while the coffee went cold, I wrote a story. My husband had no idea that these sojourns to the loveseat in front of the fire would become a daily occurrence, that writing would become an obsession, but the cat knew. She knows everything.

I write stories that make you laugh, make you cry, and make you love. Thank you, friends, for reading!

In the beginning, there was an empty page.

I am a writer who lives in Muskoka, Canada, with a husband who snores, a hungry cat, and an almost perfect canine—he’s an adorable little shit.
