A Season Out of Time

Rosalind Drew has always lived by logic, not longing. A brilliant botanist clinging to control, she's watched her once-vibrant family conservatory wilt under the weight of endless winter—and the even heavier silence in her soul. Dreams deferred. Love denied. Life on pause. Then Edmund Winterborne arrives. Mysterious, wealthy, and burdened by secrets of his own, Edmund steps into her world like a forgotten melody—unsettling, alluring, impossible to ignore. He's everything she's not: impulsive, passionate, a believer in things unseen. And yet, he sees her. The woman beneath the routine. The heart aching for more. As the snow presses in, so does the fragile hope of a new beginning—a love that might restore what was lost, rewrite the rules, and awaken the beautiful promise of spring.But when past wounds and present choices threaten to undo everything, will Rosalind have the courage to let go of control... and risk everything for a future she never dared imagine? Includes, as a bonus, the classic Nordic fairy tale East of the Sun, West of the Moon, reprinted from the public domain—a timeless story of sacrifice, transformation, and love that inspired this novel.
