Synopsis

When a blizzard shatters the MacRae glasshouse, Lady Elizabeth MacRae and gardener's apprentice Rory Kincaid spend one breath-held night keeping her late mother's roses alive-and wake to a season that will test every vow they've ever made. With the estate drowning in ledgers and a powerful baron offering rescue at a price, Elizabeth turns to soil, steam, and stubborn hope: hotbeds stitched from straw, market mornings stamped Winter Rose, and work that teaches the difference between being useful and being used. As whispers gather and duty sharpens into a deadline, a quiet tenderness takes root-far too precious for scandal, far too honest to ignore. Set against the heathered hills of Aberdeenshire, this closed-door, heart-aching romance is about the courage it takes to choose warmth over worry, truth over ease, and a love that grows the way roses do in winter: slowly, fiercely, and toward the light.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

After the tragic loss of my girlfriend as a teenager, I sought an escape. My pub upbringing introduced me to a traveling gypsy family, and they allowed me to join their journey under one condition: I had to contribute. Soon, they discovered my talent for spontaneous storytelling, known as "pantsing."

In villages and towns, I showcased this gift, crafting stories based on audience suggestions after Mahala's performances. My dyslexia prevented me from pursuing writing as a profession, given the cost of ghostwriters and publishing.

Now, with five children and a 50th birthday surprise, a daughter, now a young teenager, I've told countless imaginative bedtime stories based on their prompts.

Reflecting on my time with the gypsy family, I've realised the profound impact of storytelling on people, contemplating the possibility of chronicling that journey someday.

During my 30s and 40s, I occasionally returned to the stage for charity events, fueled by my love of storytelling. My daughter encouraged me to channel that passion into writing, which led to the creation of my first series, *Bella*, named after my daughter, under the pen name Barrel Coops. Remarkably, I wrote the five-book series in just five months, though editing took an additional four months, largely due to my challenges with reading. After receiving extensive feedback and taking several courses, the series was rewritten and published in early 2024.

Despite dyslexia being a constant challenge, I'm committed to writing. I hope my stories will captivate and inspire you, bringing enjoyment to your life.
