One accident. Two men. Almost three years of despair. Four beating hearts growing in pain. Five lives forever changed.
Everything fell apart in the blink of an eye.
These days my own misery keeps me company.
I never thought this would be me—a twenty-four-year-old—stuck in a dead-end relationship.
Gone are the thrilling adventures with Harvey Stark.
Gone is his smile.
Gone is the sight of his dimples and the sparkle in his bright blue eyes.
He’s changed into a hollow version of himself and I’m just a shadow following him around our home.
Then I meet my new boss at a firm in Downtown Chicago. Damon Dreygon challenges me in ways I never knew existed and makes me believe in myself again. Our souls match instantly, and meeting Damon feels like a step towards peace.
Except it’s not. Because everyone grieves differently.
So while one man refuses to touch me, the other can’t love me.
And I’m crawling through the crippling chaos, barely holding on . . .
About M.H.B.
M . H . B . graduated law from a Canadian University and loves spending time with her German Shepherd Dog. She has a passion for animals and enjoys the simple things in life: books, music, chocolate, sunny days and overall wellness. When she is not writing, her mind is in another world, with a book in hand.
He’s determined to bulldoze her childhood dreams. She’ll fight him with everything she has – including her heart…
When a ruthless company buys Holly Winter’s small home town, she’s determined to stop them.
But then she meets the CEO. Josh Gerber is handsome, smooth, and disgustingly successful. He’s also the man that Holly spent a night with eight years ago. And now he’s back to steal the home she’s always loved.
If anybody can stand up to him, Holly can. She’s clever, determined, and most of all, she understands his weaknesses. She has the same ones, after all.
But the more she fights him, the stronger the attraction between them grows. And before long, their arguments are ending in deliciously hot, stolen kisses that make her forget that Josh is supposed to be her enemy.
Holly may be able to save Winterville, but will she have to sacrifice her heart in the process?
It’s A Wonderful Life meets The Hating Game in this gorgeously festive standalone romance. Why not take a trip to Winterville today?
I absolutely loved Welcome to Winterville by Carrie Elks. It mixed the fun and flirty feeling with all the wonderful spiciness of a sexy small-town romance. It was the best of both worlds. Winterville feels like a town held back in time with all the traditional values and friendliness, but it’s not doing so well financially.
When the Winter cousins find out that their parents had sold the town to a developer, they pull everyone together to come up with a plan to keep Josh Gerber and his company from tearing the town down. There are a lot of brains in the Winter cousins group, and I expected a few more ideas from them. This was really my only disappointment in the story. They seem to come up fairly empty-handed.
It seems all their hopes rest on Holly Winter rekindling a very brief fling from many years ago with Josh Gerber. it’s a pretty flimsy plan to save the town, but it leads to some pretty romantic and heated moments for Holly and Josh. The two are crazy good together and their conversations and banter had me grinning all the way through. They were amazing.
When the inevitable argument comes up between Holly and Josh, I just about screamed because I saw it coming and business got in the way. But Holly’s cousins are the heroes of her story because they were there for her through every page and every up and down. I loved it so much.

Sofia Romano, eldest sister of the tight-knit Romano family, was one to be envied. A posh society darling since birth, proudly sitting atop the highest pedestal. So high that no one could see the cracks in her perfect façade, including that of her marriage, which was nothing more than a shelter from her parents’ death a decade ago.
And she was perfectly content, until now.
It’s the holiday season and she’s left alone, forced to face the cracks in her picture perfect life—the husband who’s never there, the home that’s always empty, and the heart that never had a place in her marriage.
All this culminates when she has a chance encounter with her brother’s new neighbor.
Eric Walker had just moved to New York. A big-hearted country guy exploring the city for his next book. He had a zest for life, no cares about what others thought, and a heart that leapt out of his chest the second he saw Sofia Romano waiting in his hall.
First impressions go awry; second impressions fail just as miserably, but as they say, third time’s the charm.
That country boy with a heart of gold is about to show this uptight city girl how great love can truly be. This will be a Christmas & New Year’s Sofia will never forget!
