Winter's Blush

Romance, intrigue, dogs, and horses. Who could ask for more? Winn Wahlberg. She needs to get home for Christmas, but fate intervenes … more than once.

The Fantasy Maker strikes an agreement with Clay Washington. All he needs to do is escort a young woman around Denver for five days. After that, he will receive his own fantasy vacation. What’s the catch? He must pretend to be someone he’s not.

Winn, a gal who’s never left Yuma, Arizona, is thrilled to visit a big city and experience snow for the first time in her life. But when her escort shows up late, then gets into a fistfight, second thoughts creep in. He harbors a phobia; she hides a secret. Despite their differences, they cannot deny the passion that ignites as their relationship deepens. And they are having the time of their life dining with a pirate, eating cake backstage with actors, and a lucky dog.

The Fantasy Maker mapped out an amazing week for Winn, but real life altered those plans. Their adventure is soon eclipsed by danger. Is their enemy Mother Nature or something far more evil? What do they need? A Christmas miracle.

Cricket Rohman grew up in Estes Park, Colorado, and spent her formative years among deer, coyotes and beautiful blue columbine. Today she is a full-time author writing romance and women's fiction about the great outdoors, teachers, dogs, cowboys, life's little mysteries-even Alzheimer's. Book 1 FOREVER ISLAND and Book 2 WINTER'S BLUSH of The Fantasy Maker series, romance novellas, were released November 2017. Her newest women's fiction release, SAVING MADELINE, is about a Hollywood actor, a wounded warrior, and a woman whose memory is fading co-existing in a small Los Angeles apartment. Cricket's first published novels for adults include the three romantic mysteries in The Lindsey Lark Series in which the protagonist is a wonderful teacher in the desert southwest. Book 1 WANTED: AN HONEST MAN; Book 2 LETTERS, LOVERS, & LIES; Book 3 HIT THE ROAD, JAKE! And, yes. All three books are works of fiction. REALLY! (Well, except the part about the dog; Cricket really had a dog like Wendell, the mastiff, who appears in all three books.) Prior to writing, Cricket's career path included the following: actor, singer, audio/video producer, classroom teacher, school principal, and U of A assistant professor.
