Читать книгу One More Sleepless Night - Lucy King - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Ah, southern Spain… What is it about that part of the country that’s so enthralling? Is it the sultry strains of the Spanish guitar drifting through the breeze of a warm summer’s night? The gunfire tap of a flamenco dancer’s heels on the dusty floorboards of a dark, crowded bar? The desert-dry sherry and the mouthwatering tapas? Or is it the tall, dark, handsome men?

I’ve been living and working in the southwest corner of Andalusia since 2005 and I’ve come to think it’s all of that (and much, much more).

As, eventually, does Nicky Sinclair, the heroine of One More Sleepless Night. Okay, so in the beginning she’s in too much of a mess to appreciate all the charms of Andalusia, but as she begins to sort herself out she finds herself succumbing. And she might be in too much of a mess initially to appreciate the considerable charms of Rafael Montero (one of the aforementioned tall, dark and handsome Spaniards), but in the end she finds herself succumbing to those, as well!

I loved being able to draw on such local inspiration for the setting of this story and letting my imagination work with the wonderful smells, sights and sounds of the place I call home.

What’s even more exciting is that this is my first book for Harlequin KISS, a line so contemporary, fun and sassy I can’t wait to write more! I do hope you enjoy reading it.
