I just loved Ramon, my very first hero in book 1, The Spanish Inheritance, and I have to say Ramon put the seal on my lasting love affair with the Alpha Male.

It would not surprise me if I returned to Spain very soon to pay court to the blazing mystique of another Spanish grandee…

One last fact about this first book. It was written entirely from the heroine’s point of view, which is something I can’t bring myself to do now, as I have an overriding passion to delve deep into both sides of the romance puzzle. But it does go to show that there is no ‘correct way’ to write a book and have it published by HMB Presents.

I’ll be taking a look at the inspiration behind my second book, The French Count’s Mistress, next week. Meanwhile, have a wonderful rest and some great family/friend/me time this weekend.

And thank you, Debora Hosey from the Romance Reader’s Connection for this:
