Finally! A New Book Release!

Years in the making! It’s finally available for sale! I’m very excited about the first full-length novel in my Write Place Retreat series. Snowed In: Heat Rises will release on Thursday, 9/4/25 whereever ebooks are sold. Links to purchase are on my website: www.mjcompton.com. The paperback version is also available.

A snowstorm, a scandal, and a secret identity blow into a writing retreat…

Disheartened romance author Meade Godwin has two goals: finish the last book of his contract then break free of his greedy ex-wife’s financial demands. He doesn’t need a cranky injured chef with a penchant for sharp knives distracting him. Especially one who is a fan of the pen name he plans to retire.

Justine Macko may have lost her restaurant due to her former fiancé’s shady business schemes, but cooking at a writing retreat in the remote Adirondack Mountains is exactly what she needs to reclaim her kitchen mojo. She’s not going to let a little bad weather or a secretive writer with questionable taste buds stop her.

Until her past tracks her down.
