From the author of heartwarming small-town romances comes a humorous story about difficult relationships and the positive outcomes they can bloom.
Secrets, surprises, and a little Mardi Gras mischief.
When Shelley-an over-the-top influencer with a flair for chaos-makes her grand return, she doesn't just stir the pot.she flips it over entirely. Determined to steal the spotlight (and maybe a crown), she sets her sights on the race for Mardi Gras King and Queen, bringing her own brand of over-the-top drama along for the ride.
As if that weren't enough, two mysterious masked figures begin wreaking havoc across town, turning every celebration into a spectacle and leaving Grace scrambling to keep the event from unraveling. Meanwhile, a lively new group of guests checks into the bed and breakfast, each with their own stories, surprises, and sparks-alongside a few beloved faces readers will be thrilled to see again!
With laughter, love, and just a touch of mystery in the air, Grace must navigate the madness to keep everything on track. But in a season built on masks and hidden identities, will the truth come out before it's too late?
Countdown to Mardi Gras is a heartwarming and whimsical addition to the Holiday Countdown Series-perfect for readers who love sweet romance, small-town charm, and stories where every celebration holds a little magic!
Dear Reader,
Can you believe we've made it all the way to Mardi Gras? It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating twinkling lights and cozy winter nights, and now we've traded them in for masks, music, and a whole lot of mischief!
I have to confess-when I first started planning this story, I thought it might be a simple, joyful celebration. But then Shelley showed up. and well, nothing is ever simple when she's involved. Let's just say she doesn't believe in quietly enjoying the festivities when she can steal the spotlight instead!
And of course, what's Mardi Gras without a little mystery? Those masked troublemakers had quite a bit of fun keeping Grace (and me!) on our toes. I loved weaving in the chaos, the secrets, and the question of who's really behind the masks-because in a season like this, everyone is hiding something.
You'll also meet a brand-new group of guests, each bringing their own stories, surprises, and a little extra sparkle to the celebration-along with a few familiar faces I couldn't resist bringing back. After all, it wouldn't feel like Winterwood without them.
So grab a slice of king cake, maybe a handful of beads, and settle in for a celebration full of laughter, love, and just a touch of drama. Your found family is waiting-and trust me, they've got plenty of stories to share.
Happy Reading!
