Читать книгу Miss Prim and the Billionaire - Lucy Gordon, Lucy Gordon - Страница 3

Dear Reader,

Paris is one of my favourite cities and I really enjoyed setting a book there. Its beauty and its aura of romance contain a magic that always works for me. Frenchmen, of course, have an especially romantic reputation. An eye for the ladies, an appreciation of a pretty face. We love them for it.

Marcel, my hero, seems to be just like that: a man who plays love like a game. But only on the surface. Deep in his heart is a despair that has never left him since he was betrayed by Cassie, his one true love. And when he meets her again it causes an earthquake inside him.

She too is devastated. She was innocent of betrayal, but how can she convince him? The years have changed them. Can their new selves still love as their old selves did? And who are they inside?

I sympathise with that question because it’s one that a writer often asks herself. Who am I? Cassie, reaching out to the man who still rules my heart? Or Marcel, trying to resist the love that both alarms and tempts me? The answer, of course, is that I am both, moving between them, and delighted when they find the joy that once seemed lost for ever.

But now they’ve achieved their happy ending and it’s time for me to become someone else.

Warmest wishes,

Lucy Gordon
