Winter house - joanne demaio

From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes an enchanting novel about a beautiful old house and the love story it opens its doors to.

New England in December is a special world.

Wreath-topped lampposts shine, balsam garland drapes across picket fences, and fresh snow dusts the land.

Then there are the decorated houses: saltboxes, Victorians, farmhouses, Tudors.

Tiny lights shimmer on front porches; candles glow in paned windows.

But one imposing stone colonial towers dark in the night.

Since moving to town, Millie Ives has heard hushed whisperings of that house -- and of the mysterious man who lives and works there.

A chance happening leads Millie to this Mr.

Winters spellbinding shop just past the bell tower.

Surprisingly, hes not who she thought hed be.

As the month unfolds, both find themselves on each others minds and in each others hearts.

Yet when Millie tries to bridge a gap in his life, she risks losing him.

Unless the spirit of the season can bring them back together at the Winter House .
