Dear Reader

Remember the movie Sliding Doors? Sometimes a closing door can be a blessing in disguise!

My heroine in FIRED WAITRESS, HIRED MISTRESS harks from a prestigious background. From a young age Nina Petrelle has expected, and received, the best of everything. Gabe Steele, on the other hand, comes from humble stock. Despite the difference in family bank balances, Gabe was Nina’s brother’s best mate. Fourteen-year-old Nina couldn’t pinpoint why Gabe’s dismissive behaviour towards her should rankle so much, but she evened the score by jibing Gabe about his station in life every chance she got.

Then those doors slapped shut.

When Nina’s father died, ultimately so did the Petrelle fortune. Nina, who would have continued along her privileged path, now struggles to meet bills. Conversely, the tragedy that struck Gabe’s world set a fire beneath his determination to succeed. It is as a cool, wealthy playboy that he meets Nina again.

A more mature and modest Nina scorns the hedonistic world in which Gabe now reigns supreme. Gabe, however, knows Nina is simply cut over their changed circumstances: beneath her waitress garb she’s still that spoilt brat. As mismatched as they were in the past, they are doubly so now. Yet neither can deny the explosive magnetism which, time and again, draws them together and fights to keep them close.

Life is a series of twists and turns. When one door shuts, another will surely open. But travelling a new road isn’t always easy—particularly where pride and love are concerned.

Hope you enjoy FIRED WAITRESS, HIRED MISTRESS!

Warmest wishes

Robyn
