Mallory O'Connor and Nathan McKendrick are married and
live
in Seattle in between travel for their own separate
careers. Nathan's a musician and Mallory a TV drama star.
SNOWFLAKES ON THE SEA set the scene as Mallory suffers a
collapse from stress. She loves her husband but doesn't
see
much of him, and she suspects that he has a succession of
groupies to keep him company. Nathan rushes home when he
learns she's been ill, but what does that prove?
Diane, Nathan's press agent, shows up at his home, and she
gains far too much enjoyment from telling Mallory all
about
the lively Christmas they had in Australia. A scurrilous
report had placed Mallory in a cabin with a partying
country singer, but she denies it ever happened.
Meanwhile
Brad, Mallory's producer, wants to up the ante with sexy
scenes in the drama. Can the couple mend some fences, or
will their first Christmas apart spell the beginning of
the
end for their marriage?
This sensitively written character study looks at the
pressures of the entertainment industry and asks whether
the people who make Christmas enjoyable for everyone else
actually have a good Christmas holiday themselves. Their
contracts leave no room for starting families or relaxing
with relatives. While not a cosy romance this topical,
well-
researched novel gets under the skin of the characters and
reveals the love they bear despite major issues. As an
adult romance the scenes are convincing and tender.
Linda Lael Miller is well known for modern western romance
such as Big Sky Mountain and many other novels in several
series. Her devoted fans will enjoy SNOWFLAKES ON THE SEA
as a change from her usual surroundings while new readers
will surely discover the quality of her writing.
Nathan and Mallory McKendrick remember the troubles and
triumphs they faced in the early days of their marriage.
But
their love story is far from over! It's a story they tell
each other often - especially at Christmas.
Winter 1984:
International singing sensation Nathan McKendrick had it
all—the looks, the talent, the charisma. It's not
surprising
that half the world was infatuated with him! No one more
so
than his wife, Mallory. The success of their marriage had
always defied the odds—and the rumors. Then, suddenly, the
bond between them was damaged, and Nathan and Mallory had
to
choose—fight for the love they still shared or let
circumstances destroy it.
In the end, there was only one choice. They had to save
their marriage.
And now, every year that goes by, every Christmas they
spend
together, reminds them that their love is everlasting.
