Winter Fire
First novel in the Huntington series

Fourth-grade school teacher Amanda Huntington said good-bye to her high school sweetheart when she realized he had fallen in love with someone else. Now, a year later, she wonders if she'll spend the rest of her life alone.

When she meets Blake Simmons, Amanda finds her life turned upside down. Blake doesn't seem like the knight in shinning armor she always imagined. With two adorable children in his care, he is locked in an ugly battle of wills with their troubled mother and worries that the children he has come to love will be lost for him forever.

Will Amanda's relationship with Blake and the children only cause her more heartache? Or does she need him just as much as he needs her?

I really liked Winter Fire. It was great!! I loved hearing about what would happen to Kevin and Mara, they sounded sooo Ccte! I really like Blake. He is such a good guardian to the two kids. This is a great book, and if you haven't read it you should.

Author's Comments


In Where I Belong, fourth grade schoolteacher Amanda Huntington gave up her high school sweetheart and wished him well when she realized he had fallen in love with someone else. I felt so bad for her that I just had to write her story so I could know what happened to her! Winter Fire is the first of four book that will follow the Huntington siblings, Amanda, Mitch, Tyler, and Kerrianne. In all the books, young children are in some way responsible for getting the main characters together. Savannah (Savvy) Hergarter, a character from many of my other books, will also be in these novels (she's growing up!).

This is the first book I've published with Deseret Book. I love working with them!
