Hints about the Winter Secret series...

Only one year in their lives, but…
Winter Secret is like a stage set for a show; a cold winter evening with ice crystals sparkling in the frozen air under a full moon. The characters are introduced and their strengths and weaknesses only hinted at. The beginning of a story unfolds with suspense and intrigue that sweeps the reader into heights and depths of secrecy. The discovery of a stolen microchip that could destroy the world brings danger into Derek and Cynthia’s lives and threatens the fragile beginning of a new love. The ending is a question left dangling in the air: will they be able to stay together? (Book trailer:

The second book opens like the rush of a rogue wave on a calm sea. What seemed a gentle resolution now becomes a whirlpool of uncertainty, when the new couple become tangled in the mystique of a hidden treasure. There are two completely unexpected surprises in Spring Promise; something extraordinarily challenging, in any relationship, happens to Derek and Cynthia, and promises one of two things: unity or division. The second unforeseen event is the revelation of the unbelievable identity of Derek; something completely startling and amazing. How will this affect their love for one another? (Book trailer:
The third book, Summer Truth, is comparable to an earthquake that opens beneath you as you step forward. The past that Cynthia shared with her ex-husband, the dishonest attorney, Bradley, reaches out and ensnares her back into its fold. She becomes the scapegoat for his deeds in a race for her life from the good and the bad. As Derek’s real identity begins to engulf him, he faces a past full of intrigue, lies and deadly deception. Can he meld with the past or should he leave it behind? And how will his choice effect Cynthia? (Published in spring of 2014) www.lindagatewoodbooks.com

In the final book in the series, Autumn Hush, the past engulfs both of them in a mystery that takes place in an ancestral castle that hides a skeleton behind its cold granite walls that could be the answer to all the questions. But the seeds from the ruthless past are still alive and determined to keep all the secrets, no matter who must be sacrificed.

There are exciting stories in each book and yet, one plot that keeps unfolding from book to book, full of surprise and intrigue to lead you to a thrilling conclusion. Inside these books, you’ll find mystery, suspense, murder and a devious character set on destruction. You’ll find romance that is tender and loving, yet forceful and strong, but not tarnished with explicit descriptions that aren’t necessary to describe romance. You also won’t find stories full of vulgar language, which is also unnecessary to portray powerful emotions. I hope you enjoy the adventure!
