"Solstice Night"
a sweet romantic fantasy story

On the winter night when hearth and home are celebrated, two lonely people discover that happily ever after isn’t
just for beautiful people.















Liesel is a young woman with extraordinary healing powers, on the run from a master who seeks to abuse those
powers.  She believes she will never have her own home and family; she is too plain and too odd.  

Eric is a scarred, bitter hunter who chases her through a blizzard, seeking to claim the reward for her return.  Both
the hostile elements and a pack of magically-summoned wolves work against him.  

In the end, Eric learns that his deepest wounds are not the visible ones, and he opens his frightened heart to
Liesel's healing powers.

From Joyfully Reviewed: Solstice Night is an intriguing story. Liesel is a kind, generous woman who would see
harm to herself before it would come to others. In helping a total stranger, she risks everything, but she wouldn’t
have it any other way.                                Read the full review:
