Читать книгу The Daredevil Tycoon / Hired: Sassy Assistant: The Daredevil Tycoon - Barbara McMahon - Страница 5

What if…? This is the way I start a lot of stories. What if a young woman is rather conservative, has the care of her teenage brother, and needs to earn a living to support them both? What if she’s paired with a daredevil sportsman in a hot air balloon race? Can you imagine how you’d feel if to keep your job you needed to fly for a week in a balloon with some sexy guy who doesn’t even know the meaning of ‘afraid of heights’?

That’s the beginning of Amalia Catalon’s great adventure.

Ever since I was in Reno, Nevada, during its hot air balloon event, I’ve dreamed of a story that captured the excitement and uncertainty of hot air balloons. From the ground, ballooning looks effortless as the balloons quietly sail overhead. Only when researching the various aspects of the sport did I learn how skilled the pilots must be, and how important the ground crews are to the sport.

Come fly away with Amalia and Rafael Sandoval as they explore each other’s lives, hopes and fears, and end up with a most unexpected ending—one where love soars above all.

My heartfelt thanks to Diana Dempsey and John Wright for their help with the technical aspects and flying experiences.

I hope you enjoy Amalia’s and Rafael’s journey, soaring over Spain in a red and black hot air balloon. And I hope that their ending makes you long for your own adventure.

All the best

Barbara
