Читать книгу Christmas Nights with the Polo Player - Susan Stephens, Susan Stephens - Страница 5

Dear Reader,

When my daughter chose to hold her prewedding celebrations watching polo at Smith’s Lawn, Windsor, I had no idea until the teams galloped onto the field that I was about to be bewitched by men with arms like steel girders and thighs powerful enough to control the most willful horse. Nor could I have imagined that six passionate books later I would still be receiving letters from readers asking what my polo players were up to now that they had all found love.… And were there any more polo guys in the pipeline?

The answer is, of course, yes! I could never tire of writing about dark-eyed, dangerous men, so please allow me to introduce Gabe Ortoya, captain of the Brazilian polo team. Gabe made a guest appearance in The Shameless Life of Ruiz Acosta, and even as I wrote that particular scene set in Gabe’s glamorous London nightclub, I was thinking to myself, This man needs a story.

In my September newsletter I promised I would revisit the Acosta family so we could all find out how they were getting on, and this gave me the chance I had been longing for to write about Gabe. I hope you love him as much I do. Gabe was so much fun to write. And Lucy, his veterinary student heroine, is a girl after my own heart—no pushover, and full of surprises—so I hope you love Lucy, too.

And now it only remains for me to wish you the happiest of holidays. In fact, I wish you the happiest of days all year round.

With my warmest wishes to you, my friends and readers,

Susan
