In Winter Winds, Gayle Roper concludes her delightful Seaside Seasons series with a tale of romance, crime, startling mix-ups, and a few hard hearts that just might get a much-needed midwinter thaw. After his guardian’s severe illness, pastor Paul Trevelyan returns to his congregation in Seaside with a big surprise – a wife he’s been estranged from for seven years. It was the old man’s ailing wish that Dori and Trev return to each other, and they agree, as long as they can sleep in separate bedrooms. The dangers of a sinister luggage mix-up are compounded by discord within the church, as a highly opinionated elder proves he will stop at nothing to see Trev gone. This blizzard of difficulties leaves just a snowball’s chance of a thaw between the stubborn spouses.
