"We were complete opposites. Jackson's life before me consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while I wore my heart on my sleeve." ---------------------------- Maggie Carpenter is a waitress at a high-end club in Arizona who loves nothing more than a quiet night cozying up with a good book. One fateful night she ends up serving Jackson Porter, a devastatingly handsome yet brooding British author, celebrating the National Book Awards nomination for his newest novel. It's an instant magnetic attraction for the two of them but there's just one problem, they're polar opposites. Due to his abnormal upbringing, Jackson's life before Maggie consisted of him pushing away anyone who tried to get close, while she was an open book who always wore her heart on her sleeve. He had tattoos, piercings, and cursed like a sailor, yet she was mild-mannered and did everything to please those around her. Both stubborn in their own ways, Maggie needs someone to show her how to live in the moment, yet Jack needs someone to keep him grounded. Jackson lives his life wild and free, while Maggie toils her life away living vicariously through the pages in her books. But the reality is, neither of them were really living until their stories collided. Excerpt- "I know that I've fallen in love with a man who isn't ready to catch me but that's the crazy part about it, isn't it? You don't get to choose who you love or when it happens. There are no warning signs to keep you from getting too close to the edge. It's like a roller coaster, exhilarating and terrifying at the same time." Will she end up convincing him their love is worth the fall or simply be used as a pawn in his latest book?

What do you think princesses in the 1600s did all day? • Wear puffy dresses shaped like a pastry? • Obsess over hair and makeup? • Attend balls and dance the night away? • Meet their Prince charming? • Say ridiculous statements to create controversies? (Idea courtesy: "Let them eat CAKE!") • Go for tea parties and gossip with the other ladies at court? • Enjoy lavish cuisines? You're not wrong. But that's not what 'all' princesses do. Just 'most' of them. Meet Lilith. An exception to the above assumptions. She's fierce. She's witty. She's bold. The princess of Valoria. She felt as if the stars shone only for her, the Sun rose only for her, the flowers bloomed only for her and every day was meant just for her. But one day, she overheard a plan. She had to stop it from happening. Of course, nothing was impossible for Lilith. But with the limited time and hurdles along the way, will she change her fate in time? Or will her destiny overpower her will? What readers say: "A fox in the snow is an exquisitely written adventure novel. The characters and plots are so finely developed that it transports you to the 1600s where sorcery and witchcraft were frowned upon. I personally found Lilith to be a character to look up to. Dylan and Lilith's immaculate romance is the icing on the cake. The language used by the author is fun. The plot hooks us to the story. The author has done a great job on her debut novel and I love it!" "A fox in the snow is an exciting tale of a young princess named Lilith who faces an unprecedented turn of events. Beautifully set in a historical premise, the story has a lion's share of twists and turns. I instantly fell in love with the engaging plot amplified by the author's descriptive style of writing. How Lilith's life changed drastically, the revelations and hurdles that follow all prove to be a nail biter. It is certainly worth reading!"
