Читать книгу Dream Baby - Ann Evans - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

It’s hard to believe that the millennium is nearly here.

When I was a kid, it seemed so far away. I was sure that by the year 2000 we’d be zipping around town in spaceships, our meals would be prepared by robots and we’d all be living in geodesic domes. As a fan of history rather than science, I thought it all sounded pretty scary and undesirable.

But here we are on the eve of a new century, and I’m delighted to see that one aspect of life hasn’t changed much over the years. Falling in love is still unpredictable.It can’t be bottled or scheduled or forced, and it can still sneak up on two unlikely people who think they know exactly what the millennium will bring them.

As I wrote this book, I liked the idea that I was creating two such characters in Nora and Jake—a heroine who sees only loneliness in her future, and a hero struggling to put the past behind him to make a new life. Their expectations don’t include a baby, but what better way for two deserving lovers to kick off a brand-new year!

I hope the millennium brings you happiness and lots of wonderful books that warm and touch your heart. Somehow, the future just looks a little less scary when it’s filled with love. Happy New Year!
