Caged in Winter

**Caged in Winter** is a young adult book released on November 10, 2020.

## Summary

Having fled her troubled upbringing to Detroit, Winter is struggling to find her way in the world while depending on no one. She dreams of leaving her awful job as a cocktail waitress and becoming a successful and independent graphic designer.

A glance at Cade's tattoos, motorcycle, and imposing build would suggest a Detroit thug of the classic mold. But this bad boy has a heart of gold. Cade wants nothing more than to care for his family and someday land a job at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
