Blurb:
Hot rock star meets injured snowboarder. Even broken hearts can melt.
Viola
After a hit and run, my gold medal dreams are forced on hold. I can’t walk, let alone snowboard, and a wheelchair is my new way to get around.
Everything I worked for has been destroyed.
Then the world’s number one rock star strides into my life.
He’s staying in my castle and working with my family. I know he remembers the kiss we shared years ago, but Leo’s no longer the same man. Gone are the sexy smirks and chilled out vibe. I know why, and I want to hold him close and make him forget. How can I help him when I can’t even help myself?
Leo
I might be famous, but notoriety can’t fix a shattered heart. I’m alone in the world and drowning, except my contract calls for new songs, and soon.
I have to find my muse again.
Years ago, Viola McRae inspired my greatest hit. But now, she’s as damaged on the outside as I am on the inside. She's wildly gorgeous, vulnerable, and I could so easily tap that hurt and turn it into song.
Yet saving my career could mean exposing Viola’s pain to the world. I might be damaged beyond repair, but can I really use Viola when that will only leave her more broken?
--
Fallen Snow features one hot rock star, a grumpy laid-up sportswoman, a remote Scottish castle, and a steamy-as-heck second chance romance.

Another brilliant read from this author!
"She'd hit me like a lightning bolt. We'd been kids, but one evening of kissing her had inspired far too many of my greatest hits."
Four years ago, Viola McRae and Leo Banks spent a brief evening of time together and, even though they never saw each other again, they'd never forgotten the other. In the present day, both are broken souls - one is on the verge of losing a career she's dedicated her whole life to, and the other is holding a grief so deep that it's blocking his creativity. In desperation, Leo finds his way back into Viola's life but when he finds a young woman who is still struggling to come to terms with the big change in her life, he questions if he can really use her again to inspire him. And, let's not ignore the undeniable connection and chemistry that sparks up between them once more.
"Something about this man hit a nerve deep inside my mind. Whenever we were together, I felt happier."
This author is such a fantastic writer. With each book I read, I never know quite what the journey will be and I find myself always charmed by the direction of the storylines, set against a vivid and beautiful backdrop. The characters are never perfect - always something innately human about them that make them easy to connect with.
Viola and Leo were no exception. Viola is fearless and and pretty indomitable yet her heart is soft. She was a great role model for young girls in terms of commitment and drive and when she finally accepted what she'd lost, she accepted what she needed to do to move forward with her life. Leo was so lost. My heart hurt badly for him. He trusted easily in his eagerness to belong somewhere but I adored how easily he fit into Viola's family. Seriously, her father, Gordain - I really need to catch up with his story because he's definitely someone you want on your side.
"I was petrified, exhilarated, and gone so bad for her I could barely think."
Viola and Leo's journey to their HEA was riddled with obstacles and misunderstandings, but what I loved was that they ultimately listened to what their hearts were telling them. They made the other feel alive and desired. They were sweet, adorable and so sexy together.
