About the Book
A fierce snowstorm in Leavenworth, Washington, brings together two lost souls – William, a tech mogul and single father, and Adi, his high school sweetheart. As the snow falls, will they melt the ice around their hearts and give love a second chance?
In the tech world, William Monroe is a success. A fleeting encounter turned into a life-changing event leaves William grappling with fatherhood, and an untimely loss forces him to navigate this fresh path alone. Then a twist of fate and a snowstorm reroute him back to his quaint hometown of Leavenworth, Washington. Amidst the snow-capped peaks and Bavarian-style buildings, William crosses paths with his high school sweetheart, Adi Lewis.
Adi, fresh from the heartbreak of a dissolved marriage and the pain of unfulfilled dreams of motherhood, faces the man who once held her heart. Will’s return and his new role as a father become the talk of the town, causing old wounds to resurface and adding to the heartbreak Adi already endures.
As the snow falls and Christmas lights twinkle in Leavenworth, William and Adi are drawn together once more. But are they ready to rekindle old feelings? And what will become of them when William and Jamison must inevitably return to their life in Edmonds?
Author Bio
Halley (Hal) grew up in Newport Beach, California. He was an avid reader from an early age and had a boundless imagination. He was the oldest child in a household that stressed literacy. His parents emphasized that he and his sister could have any book they wanted to read at any time.
When Hal was in second grade, his mother purchased him a hardbound book of blank pages for him to fill. He immediately began writing his own stories. He finally had an outlet for his imagination. In school, his teachers encouraged reading and he discovered the worlds of Narnia and Middle Earth. Later, he and his friends would play dungeons & dragons and he would craft adventures for them.
Hal went to college at UCSD and received a BA in Literature & Writing. He then went to Law School at Pepperdine University, where he received his J.D. In 2001, he wrote the Washington State Child Support Handbook, which was published by the Washington State Bar Association.
During Covid, his wife found an outlet from the stress of life watching Hallmark, Christmas in July, movies. After sitting and enjoying many months of movies with her, Hal went to his keyboard and wrote Love & Worth.
