She arrives in the worst shoes imaginable, three weeks before Christmas, ready to sign the papers and sell.The lodge has other plans. Every night, a new door in the old house opens. Behind each one is a small, impossible clue: a photograph, a tin box, a red glove, a ticket for a train that never left. The roads are closing under the snow. The town is full of people who know more than they say. And the lodge's caretaker, Jonah Thorne, is the one man she shouldn't trust and can't stop looking at.Jonah has his own reasons for wanting her gone. He also has slow hands, a rare smile, and a way of looking at her that makes the cold disappear. With every door she opens, the pull between them gets harder to resist. By the twelfth, Clara must decide what she can forgive, what she can leave buried, and whether a love this dangerous is worth keeping. The Last Door Before Christmas is a steamy, slow-burn winter romance with a twisting mystery at its heart. It has candlelit secrets, a snowed-in lodge full of suspects, and an ending as warm as a fire. Perfect for readers who love snowed-in romance, small-town secrets, second chances and a happy ever after.
