Autumn's Harvest Blog Hop

Welcome to stop #22 in the Autumn's Harvest blog hop!

To enter the contests, follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter below.

Autumn is harvest time; a time of preparation for the long winter ahead. A time to reflect on the bounty of the prior year, a time to be thankful for your friends and family and what you have. 

Autumn is also a contrast to and a harbinger of the renewal and rebirth to come in the spring. A reminder that it's not all easy times ahead, but someday the sun will shine again. 

The first two books in my "Blood and Honor" series are set during late summer, fall, and early winter. And that's no coincidence. The four books in the series chart a year or so in the life of Enrico Lucchesi, the don of the Lucchesi family, and his family's struggle against the Andrettis, who very much want to wipe out the Lucchesis and gain control of their fortune and territory. 

In the first book, Revenge (Blood and Honor, #1), Enrico learns that the long-standing truce between the families is about to break, and the long summer of peace that he's enjoyed has come to an end. Likewise, the relationship that he embarks on with Kate Andretti, the estranged wife of a rival, will have its own trials--its own summer, fall, winter, and spring--as they endure the challenges ahead. 

A woman on the run. A damaged Mafia don. A rival bent on revenge... 

Mafia don Enrico Lucchesi struggles to preserve a fragile truce with the Andretti family. But when Kate Andretti flees from her abusive husband, Enrico won't leave her in jeopardy. Can he save her without reigniting the bloody feud between the families?

What books have you read where the seasons play a role--
whether it be overt or subtle? 

One I can think of is the "Game of Thrones" series by George R. R. Martin, where the constant refrain of "Winter is coming" signals both a literal change of seasons and the vast conflict that is erupting across the seven kingdoms.
