A gorgeous stranger in an old photograph. A desperate search from another century. And a mystery Camille Gordon cannot resist.

It has been two years since Camille discovered that she was going to be a teenage mother. Abandoned by her child's father, Camille is determined that she and her daughter will make it on their own.

When she discovers an old picture hidden in a trunk in her grandmother's attic, Camille is at once drawn to the man in the image, standing near his horse in the light of a long-ago sunset. The haunting photo leads her to the Carters, who run the nearby inn, White Oaks Lodge. Each clue brings her closer to her own destiny - a true love so intense not even time can wither it.

A story about heartbreak, blame, family, destiny, and the difficulties of returning home, Winter at the White Oaks Lodge is the fourth book in A Shore Leave Cafe Romance series.
