August is for Arctic Love Stories

August is for Arctic Love Stories

Isn't it funny how I'm penning an Arctic love tale right in the middle of a UK heatwave? It is, however, a delightful challenge to envision my characters sliding down a virgin white mountainside or cozying up in front of a fire, the Northern Lights illuminating their faces. In truth, writing love scenes in the middle of a snowy landscape keeps me all chilled when the temperatures in the city reach 30C. I knew there was a reason why I'm usually writing winter stories in the middle of summer and vice versa. 😆

A Teeny Tiny Plot Reveal

While I'm at my desk, I thought I'd let you have the tiniest plot reveals on my current work in progress, Book 2 in The Anderssons series.

As you may already know, Book 1, To Melt A Frozen Heart, is an emotional contemporary enemies-to-lovers winter romance. It's the story Kat, a heartbroken TV producer, and Mikael, a wealthy ski instructor. In the icy embrace of Lapland they discover love amidst their clashing worlds and a disaster that binds them together.

The yet untitled Book2  in the The Anderssons series is a second chance romance. It's filled with passionate arguments and, ultimately, rekindled love between the two main characters. Well, one of them is already known to you if you've read To Melt A Frozen Heart. As for who this character is, I'm going to have to keep it hush-hush for now.


You will be the first to know all about Book 2 in the series – and news about my writing life, book offers, and free book promotions if you join my Reading Group email list. As a joining gift, you'll also receive not one, but two free books – see below.
