Читать книгу Born Ready - Lori Wilde - Страница 3

Dear Reader,

I love the UNIFORMLY HOT mini-series, so I was thrilled when I got the chance to write one. And since the US Coast Guard is the most neglected branch of military service, I thought why not honour those brave men and women protecting the nation’s borders? Immediately, I pictured my hero, Scott Everly, in action—stalwart, strong, always prepared. (And let’s not forget hot and good-looking.) Everything a good protector should be.

Then came the job of choosing the right heroine for this masculine Coast Guard, and that’s when Jackie Birchard was born. She’s the daughter of a Jacques Cousteau-like oceanographer, who recently broke off from her father’s influence to blaze her own trail in marine biology. When she and Scott meet, things do not go smoothly.

But love has a way of creeping up on you and it’s no different for Scott and Jackie. I hope you enjoy learning about scuba diving, the Florida Keys, marine biology and the endangered Key Bleeny as much as I enjoyed researching them. So sit back, relax and join Scott and Jackie on their Florida beach.

To see the “making of” Born Ready, visit my blog at http://wildelori.blogspot.com/. You’ll find a mosaic collage featuring Key West, Scott, Jackie and the activities depicted in the story, along with a musical playlist of songs I listened to while writing the book.

Happy reading,

Lori Wilde
