Do You Judge a Book by its Cover?

August 16, 2018 by Helena Halme

I find book covers highly interesting. (I would, wouldn't I?) I've just come back from Finland and whenever I'm there, I always spend as much time as possible in bookshops.

My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

April 8, 2016 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

My heart sank when I opened 'My Brilliant Friend' and saw the 'Index of characters'.

Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter romance, To Melt A Frozen Heart, is now on pre-order!
๐Ÿ’™
To Melt A Frozen Heart is Book 1 in a new series, titled, The Anderssons.  In the first novel in the series, we meet  Kat Andersson, a passionate environmentalist TV producer. Heartbroken after a devastating betrayal by those whom she most trusted in her life, she travels to Lapland, where she meets โ€“ and immediately hates โ€“ Mikael Hult, a ski instructor from a wealthy Finnish mining family.
๐Ÿ’™
Hereโ€™s the full blurb:
When trust is betrayed by those closest to you, can love still find its way?

Kat, a TV producer nursing a shattered heart from a celebrity chef's betrayal, seeks refuge in Lapland. There, she crosses paths with Mikael, a Finnish ski instructor from a wealthy mining dynasty.

Their worlds collide like ice and fire, yet an irresistible attraction blooms. Kat, an ardent vegan and environmental advocate, has sworn off holiday romances. Mikael embodies everything she detests about privilege: fast cars, inherited wealth, and disregard for the environment.

But destiny has other plans. When disaster strikes in Lapland's pristine wilderness, Kat and Mikael find themselves drawn together. In their struggle for survival, they uncover shared values and a connection they never expected.

Will Kat's heart thaw, granting her a second chance at love, or will it remain frozen forever? 

To Melt A Frozen Heart whisks you from London's bustling streets to Lapland's enchanting landscapes, where the Northern Lights and twinkling stars illuminate Kat and Mikaelโ€™s path.
