I have to thank Shannan Albright, Cara Michaels, and George Varhalmi for reading the first version of this tale. Without them, the story wouldn’t have rung true. Depression and grief are very serious afflictions and can bring anyone to their knees. These people helped me find the balance between heartbreaking loss and romance with hope. To Kris Norris, thank you for making this amazing new cover with just the right mix of snow and holiday.
