Fraser Mountain - Living the snow life
Meet Lexie McGinty. Unfulfilled Graphic Designer at Bostock Bank and according to her best friend Evie 'proper lovely'. Lexie's loves, particularly snowboarding and Labradors - seem to have been filed away in the drawer marked 'Time to get sensible' Navigating through the murk of London life; career, boyfriend, getting a toe (let alone a foot) on the housing ladder is all proving to be slightly underwhelming. So, when the global recession hits hard and redundancy beckons, she's left without a job for the first time in her life. But, as her wise and wonderful (if a little cantankerous) Grandmother would say, every cloud has a silver lining. At least unemployment means boyfriend Henry might get off her back about buying a house. Lexie wishes she had the same pluck as her best friend Evie, who has a million and one ideas about which direction she should go (none of which involve Henry, incidentally.) Then life throws another curveball that sends her on an adventure she never anticipated. The population of Fraser Mountain has just increased by one. When Lexie finds herself far from home in the frigid winter of the Canadian Rockies, she meets a motley crew of ski-bums, handsome ski-patrollers and friendly locals who live the dream, united by a passion for snow sports and mountain life. With no job, no boyfriend and no real plan, can she really fit in and carve out a new life, and find new love, in Fraser, or should she face up to her responsibilities and get back on the grown up bus? _________ Hello!

I absolutely loved writing this book and I really hope that those who read some or all of it enjoy the story, maybe giggle a few times, and give me some great feedback - thank you!Complete
The Maple Syrup Heart
A city architect on a mission to sell and a rugged maple farmer who's rooted in tradition discover the sweetest things in life aren't found in a contract. Clara Jenkins is living the high life in New York City, designing towering masterpieces and running on three hours of sleep. When a sudden burnout forces her to take a mandatory two-week vacation, her only destination is the sleepy, leaf-peeping town of Pumpkin Hollow, Vermont, to offload her late grandmother's neglected farmhouse. Her plan is simple: Sell fast, return to the concrete jungle, and never look back. But the moment her luxury sedan gets stuck in the mud, she's rescued by Eli Thorne, the town's charmingly rugged maple syrup farmer and unofficial handyman. All flannel, old trucks, and tradition, Eli is the exact opposite of everything Clara values-and everything she secretly finds intriguing. When a broken pipe and an annoying preservation covenant derail Clara's quick-sale plan, she's forced to confront the house-and the life-she tried to forget. Stuck in Eli's cozy barn apartment, surrounded by the scent of woodsmoke and maple, Clara hatches a new, wildly ambitious idea: renovate the farmhouse into a quaint, seasonal B&B before the first snow. Teaming up with Eli, she agrees to a handshake deal that quickly turns their professional partnership into something warmer. As they peel back layers of old wallpaper, they uncover a forgotten family history-a decades-old feud between their grandparents over land and a love story that never got its chance. Now, with a critical bank deadline looming, a handsome city rival determined to buy her out, and a lifetime of commitment at stake, Clara must decide if her future lies in the skyscrapers of the city... or in the simple, steadfast heart of the man who makes the sweetest syrup in Vermont. Prepare for a cozy, charming romance where the autumn leaves fall, the cider is hot, and love is tapped right from the source.Complete
