Читать книгу King's Ransom - Amelia Autin - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

When I wrote McKinnon’s Royal Mission, part of my Man on a Mission miniseries, two characters kept popping up, assuming more and more importance—my heroine’s brother, King Andre Alexei IV of Zakhar, and her one-time best friend, the achingly beautiful Juliana Richardson, now an internationally famous movie star. Naturally, when I finished McKinnon’s Royal Mission I had no choice but to let those two characters take me where they wanted to lead me. And what a story King’s Ransom turned out to be! Royal intrigue, lovers reunited against all odds, the reenactment of a centuries-old love story and a villain who won’t balk at murder to get what he wants.

I think every romance author falls a little bit in love with every hero she creates, and I’m no exception. While far from perfect, Andre embodies the best of what most of us look for in a hero—strong, faithful and true.

And my heroine, Juliana? She’s the perfect foil for my hero. She’s strong and just as determined as he is in her own way. She knows what she wants and goes after it without hesitation. She won’t settle for second best, not in herself, and not in the man she loves. Juliana represents the best of who I would like to be…in another life.

I love hearing from my readers. Please email me at AmeliaAutin@aol.com and let me know what you think.
