Читать книгу The Burden of Desire - Natalie Charles - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

I must have written the first chapter of this book about forty times before settling on the final version. Between all of those iterations, the only similarity was the image of the heroine in a white trench coat that was longer than her skirt, leaving the hero to wonder whether she was wearing anything underneath. It seems like such a minor image from which to develop a heroine (and a book!), but from there, Sally Dawson unfolded in all of her fashionable and dramatic glory.

Sally knows who she is and she doesn’t make apologies, and I greatly enjoyed bringing her to life. Of course, that life is turned upside down the minute she reunites with the gorgeous Ben McNamara. Ben is strong and kind, but he’s also deeply flawed. The courage with which he sets about righting past wrongs is, in my eyes, what makes him heroic.

I’m very excited to share Ben and Sally’s story with you! I hope you enjoy your time with them as much as I did.

All the best,

Natalie
