When I was asked to write the story of Aarón Castillo, I spent time thinking about this. I knew I could make it simple. The dignified widower ready to meet someone new, wanting someone to share his life with… Or I could have him wanting to return to the family business and the kids set him up on a date because he’s driving them crazy. Or he could be pursued by women, all aware of his fortune, and wanting to comfort him. (Uh huh.) Maybe he could go a bit wild and be a total playboy…Nah.
I settled on the reluctant and resistant one date, set up by Madame Eve at the instigation of his wife. “…when you feel he is ready, find him a woman, Eve. Find him someone different so that he doesn’t look for me in her eyes.”
Aarón denies the need and refuses to read the information about Hannah Reed. But as we all know, Madame Eve has a way of making a match that sticks. All Hannah asks for is an evening sail with a gentleman.
From California, she worked all her life in the harried world of high end real estate and is tired, broke and considers this date her last fling. She used to one night stands, more than used to them. A gentleman? That is something very new for her.
An evening sail off the Caicos, a sumptuous dinner on a deserted island and a sudden storm is a recipe for temptation.
Try Something Different yourself!
A sweet love story, proving it’s never too late to find love.
Given a chance to meet for a one night rendezvous anywhere in the world, where would you prefer? One comment wins a copy of the new book!
Maureen, you had me at Widower. ;) I can't wait to read this story and find out how Aaron will find love again...
ReplyDeleteIt involves a boat that sinks... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sneaky that way...

ReplyDeleteI would like to meet someone on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland with a mist hanging over the water! Such a magical place!
ReplyDeleteUnknown...I can really see that and it would be really romantic. Let's throw in a selkie!
ReplyDeleteOk, I don't know why it didn't post my name--lol, new to google stuff! I'm kelticdawn, so lets see if it goes this time! Just so you know!
ReplyDeleteHee, hee. OK! KelticDawn...I still think Loch Ness is a great idea... ;-)
ReplyDeleteEvery 1NS is special, but this one has so much heart! And of course a sexiness that combines with that. Aaron is sooo hot, in the most interesting and charming way.
ReplyDeleteKate...well, I think so! Thank you so much, you and Val, for asking me write Aaron's story!
ReplyDeleteWhat an honor to write Aaron's story. I look forward to reading about yet another great match made by Madame Evangeline. Congrats on your release!

Awww, I teared up when I read his wife's quote ;'( it was too sweet! I'm a outdoors, roughin'-it kinda girl so I would have a rendezvous somewhere in the woods, possibly a camping trip near a creek or river, maybe a lil' hike to a gorgeous waterfall. I think yall see where I'm going with this ;)
ReplyDeleteFor me it would on the Gold Coast in Australia. Congratulations on the release and I can not rave enough about this series. Its an awesome series.

Casey - I had to set it on Caicos. I once saw a picture of this beach on Grand Turk and literally, it made me want to cry. It was so lovely! Someday, I will walk on that beach. Malcomns Beach, I think it was. I still have the pic somewhere...
ReplyDeleteHeather - Waterfalls...oh, that would be sweet! I love a good waterfall. Put one in The Kraken's Mirror... And a pond...in the tropics of course.
Harlie - I don't know much about Australia, but I know my Dad always dreamt of going there. He and Mom went on a cruise down that way and I'll never forget how much they raved about how beautiful it was. Another destination on my life list!
Antarctica -so cold you have to cuddle. And there are penguins!! And no snakes......
ReplyDeleteBarbara - Long as there is shelter, I'm with ya. Though...I need lagoons to swim in. I do like the idea of no snakes... ;-)
ReplyDeleteyes, Antarctica with warm lagoons with NO creatures in them except good looking guys!!
ReplyDeleteAntarctica with warm lagoons...quite an imagination you have! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI would wanna meet someone in a log cabin, in the winter, with a hot tub and fireplace available!
