Title snowbound hearts beta reader copy
By: Cara Hartley
Snowbound Hearts is a sweet second-chance forced proximity Christmas romance featuring middle-aged characters. Marta and her best friend Ophrah have booked rooms at the Winter Lake Lodge. They arrive just ahead of a heavy snowstorm that shuts down the roads. Marta's ex-husband Adam and his assistant Clara arrive not much later. Marta and Adam divorced seven years previously because of Adam's drinking and because of his tryst with his best friend's wife at the office Christmas party. Marta initially assumes that Clara is Adam's latest fling, but their relationship is platonic. Adam has gone through a successful rehab and has been clean for six years. He realizes he still loves Marta. Marta has feelings for Adam as well, but she isn't sure she can trust him. Subplots include a budding romance between Clara and Ophrah, and Adam reconciling with his best friend.
