I’ll be honest—Flames of Winter isn’t a quick stroll through the ballroom. It’s a deep, aching love story that unfolds over four books, with all the stumbles, heart-pangs, and triumphs that real love requires.

It begins with a runaway bride and ends with something so much deeper than romance. Along the way, you’ll meet a highlander who protects with a growl and loves with quiet strength, and a heroine who refuses to settle for anything less than a life—and love—of her own choosing.

And yes, there are also a few well-timed cameos from our favorite rule-breaking Whickertons. Naturally, Grandma Edie gets involved—love stories are her business, after all.

So, if you crave stories that linger long after the final page, this journey might just be for you.
