Читать книгу Paper Husband - Diana Palmer - Страница 6

Dear Reader,

I can’t possibly put into words what a privilege it is for me to share a book with my heroine, Margaret Way. Her Red Cliffs of Malpara was the very first Harlequin romance novel I ever read, and is the book that inspired me to write romance novels in the first place. I can’t think of anyone in the industry whom I admire more, or who has given me more pleasure with her wonderful books.

This project is my first for Harlequin and I have enjoyed it more than I can tell you. I’ve spent a number of years kicking around sites in the American West, places like Tombstone, Arizona, and San Antonio and Fort Worth in Texas. I’ve been on ranches. I’ve seen how hard the cowboys work. I’ve eaten beef and beans, and I’ve seen ranches the size of eastern cities in Montana and Wyoming. I’ve loved the western states ever since I was a small girl and read Zane Grey’s novels. I never dreamed that one day I, too, would have the privilege of writing books about the West and actually seeing them in print.

I hope that you enjoy the two stories contained in this volume. I know you are going to love Margaret’s, because she’s never written a book that wasn’t wonderful. But I hope you like mine, too.

Thank you all for your loyalty over the long years. I have the greatest readers in the world. And I love every one of you.
