Winter Harbor: Book One of the Winter Harbor Duet

by Cin Medley

At 15 years old do you really know what love is? We think we do, and we never really forget the first boy we love, or the first girl. For Annabelle Montgomery, the boy who stole her heart was also the boy who destroyed any belief she had about love. Fifteen years have passed, and she is ready to leave the thoughts of what could have been, what should have been, behind her. Vaughn Michaels, a beautiful 19-year-old boy, fell in love with his best friend’s little sister. Out of fear, he allowed himself to be manipulated and ultimately destroyed her. Walking away ashamed, he went off to become a man he could be proud of. Only, when he returned to get the girl, she was gone.After ten years of searching for her, he came to the conclusion that he would never find her. But one night on a stroll through the streets of Paris, the universe literally slammed them back into one another’s lives. The sparks fly, and the struggle to forgive begins. Can time heal wounds that mark the soul? Damage the heart? Annabelle Montgomery and Vaughn Michaels are about to find out. They say love knows no time or distance, and it certainly knows no reason.

About the author

I love to write the stories that float around in my head. I've written a wonderful series called Whispering Wind under C. J. Medley. I've also written many romance novels. I love my husband, daughter and our silly cat Tootsie. Life is what you make it out to be, and I love mine.



I believe that Love is The Journey that we all take through this life.

What a roller-coaster of emotions! WOW. Cin Medley easily interweaves angst, mistreatment, trust issues, anger, family secrets, redemption, with hope, forgiveness, and love. Is there such thing as fate or is everything coincidental? Read Belle and Vaughn's tale and see what if you what you believe is true for them. Such a heart-wrenching, soul gripping, makes-you-want-to-swear-at-the-characters book! The heat between Belle and Vaughn was sizzling hot, in such a sweet way.

note to self: what a cluster - everyone needs THERAPY - and way too much descriptive tab a / slot b

I really loved this story. This book is full of heartache. One night when Belle finally wanted to forget Vaughn fate brought them back together. Vaughn and Belle really loved each other but they had a lot of strikes against them. Make sure you have a box of tissues because you will need it. Couldn't put this book down, read it one day. Recommend

Well I wasn’t expecting this to consume me so much! I loved loved loved Vaughn and Belles story. I love how the author really got to the point with everything. It was great to read a story where the heroine wasn’t a pushover that she stood by what you meant and always kept her promises! Can’t wait to read their next chapter!

Young love and heartache sometimes go hand in hand. Usually, that young flame never has a chance to be rekindled. But, every once in awhile, the stars align and second chances arise. Annabelle and Vaughn's story will tug at your heartstrings. Make sure you have a box of Kleenex nearby!

Couldn’t put it down!!

Words can’t describe how I feel about this book and Anna and Vaughn’s story. I absolutely loved it and can’t wait for the next one. It was sexy, funny, made me mad, and made me cry. I definitely recommend this book.

Love the angst between the two main characters. Love how Vaughn takes his time with Belle to prove his undying love and loyalty to her. Can’t wait to read more of their story in the next book.
