Snowbound at Lanternstone

Maren builds Christmas for a living: six storefront windows on State Street, a Victorian parlor at three-quarter scale, two hundred and forty hand-wired candles and snow that falls better than the real thing. Anton works the rails and keeps a private list of rules he has never shown anyone, most of them designed to keep him from getting attached. Then comes a woman with a cookie tin, a long train ride across a white North Dakota, and a storm that refuses to let anyone leave. SNOWBOUND AT LANTERNSTONE is a cozy, slow-burning holiday romance about two careful people, one stalled train and the kind of December that rewrites your rules. Warm, funny and closed-door, it's perfect for readers of Christmas romance, forced proximity and winter love stories.
