Country Snow and Mistletoe

A Wyoming Romance Novel Book 1

by Anne Carrole

Genre: Contemporary Holiday Romance

.

To risk or not risk: that is the question? A second-chance, enemies-to-lovers novel.

Career-minded Lexi Russell seeks a calm, predictable life that doesn’t require taking chances. But coming home to Wyoming for Thanksgiving, she finds out her carefully orchestrated life has imploded. Her “perfect” boyfriend has been cheating on her, her lucrative job has been eliminated, and the family ranch is on the chopping block. In addition, the teenage boy who broke her heart one summer a decade ago has turned into a handsome cowboy who’s planning on buying her family’s ranch with a low ball offer and her parents’ blessing. She’s got to figure out a way to help her parents avoid a serious mistake, find a new job, and stop her growing attraction to the cowboy who dumped her. With Christmas on the horizon, things take an unexpected turn that will force her to decide whether love is worth the risk.

I grew up on a farm where we had cats, dogs, horses, chickens, hamsters, rabbits, and anything else we could convince my parents to shelter. I started writing stories in middle school for an audience of one (me) and in college I majored in English where I dabbled in creative writing. But I put writing aside for many years until I was home, raising my daughter and needed more books to read. I stumbled upon romances and I was hooked. I decided to try my hand at writing them and in 2011 my novella was accepted by The Wild Rose Press and the rest, as they say, is history.

For me, the happy ending of a romance is what I count on the most as both a reader and a writer. With all the craziness in the world today, I like reading and writing about people finding that special someone to love and be loved by. My goal as an author is to capture the magic of that journey in my stories.

For instance, in COUNTRY SNOW and MISTLETOE the heroine, Lexi Russell, is coming off the worst week ever. Anyone who has had their world crash in on them will be able to relate.  She loses her job, her not-so-perfect boyfriend, and finds out her parents are selling the family ranch, all in the week before Thanksgiving. I mean, how much can a gal take?

Turns out the boy she had a crush on as a teenager is the rancher buying her family’s ranch for a lowball offer and with her parents’ blessing. It’s not a set up for a great Thanksgiving. But the biggest challenge may be controlling her attraction to her old flame. Because the timing is not right for so many reasons, including the fact that she’s approached a developer who can pay a lot more for her family’s ranch. With Christmas right around the corner, things take an unexpected turn which will test their budding relationship. Something’s got to give, but are they ready to take a chance on love? You’ll have to read COUNTRY SNOW AND MISTLETOE to find out. If you love Hallmark holiday movies, you’ll enjoy Lexi and Cort’s story. This second-chance holiday romance is available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited. Enjoy! Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/Country-Snow-Mistletoe-Anne-Carrole-ebook/dp/B0BMZMH5F6

After a nasty fight with her boyfriend, tour guide Lana Hansen takes a week off work to get her head straight. Fate brings her to Iceland and the Hotel Puffin where she hopes the magnificent natural surroundings will help heal her heart and point the way forward.
