Читать книгу The Billionaire's Fair Lady - Barbara Wallace - Страница 3

Dear Reader,

When I finished writing Mr Right, Next Door! my editor and I agreed the hero’s brother, Mike Templeton, needed a story. It had become apparent to both of us that this supposed stuffed-shirt attorney had some secrets of his own to share. He needed his own heroine to help him shed that tightly wound exterior.

Growing up, I was fascinated by the story of Anna Anderson, the woman who claimed to be Anastasia, the daughter of Tsar Nicholas. What if, I asked myself, Mike Templeton found himself in the middle of a reallife Anastasia story? And what if the woman concerned forced him to look long and hard at the choices he had made in life?

Thus Roxy O’Brien was born. If anyone deserves an Anastasia type of story it’s Roxy. As far as she’s concerned her life has been the polar opposite of Mike’s: full of bad luck and bad decisions.

What this lawyer and this single mum are about to discover is that they aren’t so different after all. In fact they might actually be made for one another.

It was a lot of fun writing this story. By the way, I apologise in advance for the legal fudging that takes place. I confess, I let Mike’s and Roxy’s happy ending take precedent over… well, over legal precedent.

I hope you enjoy Mike’s and Roxy’s story. Please let me know what you think. Getting feedback from readers is always one of the highlights of my day. You can reach me at Barbara@barbarawallace.com.

Happy reading and best regards,
