ログインThank you for joining Walter and Lois on their journey—I hope their story touched your heart, and I can't wait to share another one with you soon.
If you've made it all the way to this page, thank you from the bottom of my heart.Writing The Billionaire's Frozen Heart has been an incredible journey, and knowing that you chose to spend your time with Walter and Lois means more to me than words can express.When I first imagined their story, I wanted to write more than just a romance. I wanted to write about healing. About second chances. About learning to trust again after life has given you every reason not to. Most of all, I wanted to write about how love doesn't always arrive with grand gestures or perfect timing. Sometimes it arrives quietly, through ordinary conversations, shared coffee, stubborn arguments, and the people who choose to stay when it's easier to walk away.Walter's journey was never just about finding love. It was about finding himself again after losing faith in people. Lois's journey was never just about falling in love. It was about discovering her own strength and learning that she deserved a love that saw
Ten Years LaterThe bell above the bookstore door chimed softly.Emma barely looked up."I'm coming."She finished writing one more recommendation card before walking toward the entrance.At fourteen years old, she had grown taller than Lois.Her dark hair was tied into a messy ponytail.A pencil rested behind one ear.Customers often mistook her for one of the bookstore employees.She didn't mind.In fact...She loved it.A little boy stood nervously beside his mother.He couldn't have been older than seven.Emma smiled warmly."Looking for something special?"The boy nodded."I want my first chapter book."Emma's smile widened."That's a very important choice."She led him toward the middle shelves."What kinds of stories do you like?""Adventure.""Funny?"He thought about it."Both."Emma carefully selected three books.She knelt so they were eye level."My mom taught me something."The little boy listened."The best book isn't always the most popular one."She handed him the small
Walter looked at Lois.She looked back at him.For a long moment, neither of them spoke.Emma frowned."Why are you both smiling?"Walter laughed softly."I was remembering.""The bookstore?"He nodded."The first time I realized something was changing."Emma hugged her pillow tighter."What happened?"Walter leaned back against the couch."It wasn't one big moment.""It wasn't?"He shook his head."It was hundreds of little ones."-----"I started looking forward to seeing your mom."Lois smiled quietly.Walter continued."At first, I told myself it was because she always recommended good books."Emma looked skeptical."Really?"Walter laughed."That's what I believed."Lois couldn't help smiling."I knew better.""You always did.""I noticed something."Emma looked at her mother."What?"Lois rested her chin on her hand."Every time your father came into the bookstore..."She smiled."...he looked less serious."Walter looked surprised."I did?"She nodded."The first day, you barel
The rain had become one of those gentle spring showers that never seemed to hurry.It tapped softly against the bookstore windows, wrapping Kingston Bookstore in a cozy silence.Saturday had finally slowed.The last customers had left an hour ago.Emily had gone home.Mrs. Kingston had insisted she was "only stopping by for ten minutes," which had somehow turned into three hours before Walter convinced her to let him drive her home.Now, only three people remained.Walter.Lois.And Emma.Oliver slept peacefully beside the fireplace, his muzzle now almost completely white with age.Emma sat cross-legged on the reading rug, surrounded by picture books.She wasn't reading them.She was building a tower.Apparently, books could become castles if you stacked them carefully enough.Walter watched from the café counter while making hot chocolate."You know those are books."Emma nodded."I know.""They're not building blocks.""I know."Walter raised an eyebrow."Then why are they a castle?
Spring arrived quietly.The cherry blossom trees outside Kingston Bookstore had begun to bloom.Soft pink petals drifted through the air whenever the wind picked up.Emma chased them across the sidewalk."They're snow!"Lois laughed."They're flowers."Emma caught another petal."They're flower snow."Walter looked at Lois."I think she's invented something."Lois smiled."I think she has."Emma proudly filled her tiny hands with petals before running toward Oliver.The aging golden retriever barely lifted his head from his favorite spot by the bookstore entrance.Emma gently placed a flower behind one of his ears."There."Oliver looked thoroughly unimpressed.Walter crouched beside him."I think it suits you."Oliver sighed dramatically.Lois laughed."He still puts up with everything."Walter scratched behind Oliver's ears."He always has."-----Saturday mornings had become Walter's favorite part of the week.Not because they were quiet.They weren't.Not because they were relaxin
Rain tapped softly against the apartment windows.The weather reminded Lois of the afternoon she had first met Walter.Gray skies.Cold wind.A man who looked like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.She smiled to herself.Some things changed.Some things never did."Daddy!"Emma's voice echoed through the hallway.Walter looked up from his laptop."Yes?""I can't find Mr. Whiskers."Walter frowned."The rabbit?"Emma nodded dramatically."He disappeared."Walter closed his laptop."That's a very serious situation.""It is."Lois laughed from the kitchen."I think your stuffed rabbit is hiding under your bed."Emma gasped."Why would he do that?"Walter stood."Only one way to find out."Within seconds...Father and daughter disappeared down the hallway on an important rescue mission.Lois smiled.The apartment had become wonderfully noisy over the years.Laughter.Footsteps.Bedtime songs.Toy blocks scattered across the floor.The quiet penthouse Walter once lived i
