Читать книгу A Date with the Ice Princess - Kate Hardy - Страница 4

Dear Reader

I couldn’t resist going back to the emergency department at the London Victoria and catching up with everyone (you may well recognise some names!). I enjoy opposites-attract stories, and at first glance you’d think that daredevil party boy Lewis is the opposite of quiet ice princess Abigail. Except nothing’s quite as it seems for these two; they both have tricky pasts and secrets to overcome, and they have a lot to teach each other.

Lewis buys a date with Abby to teach her how to relax and have fun. Except it ends up with Abby teaching Lewis to learn to trust his heart and discover what he really wants from life. And it’s not what he thinks it is…

One of my favourite parts of writing is hands-on research. I didn’t research the really scary stuff myself (unless you count watching Felix Baumgartner’s record sky-dive on TV), but I did grill friends who’ve done zip-lining and ice-skating. Researching the dancing was great fun, though my husband and I are rather better at the Cha Cha Cha than we are at the Waltz (and the dance shoes Abby buys are, ahem, just like mine). The Beethoven is my favourite piece of music. And I went to the Globe with my best friend while I was writing the book (though it was a different play!). I do hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I’m always delighted to hear from readers, so do come and visit me at www.katehardy.com

With love
