Meet Aaron Rosencrantz, hero of
Beautiful Nightmare, by Bella Juarez
Tell us a little about yourself?
I’m
the chief partner of a highly respected architectural firm
in San Antonio, Texas, Rosencrantz Architectural Firm. I’m also the executive officer of a RED HORSE
Air Force Reserve unit out of Barksdale Air Force Base. I hold the rank of Lieutenant Colonel
RED HORSE? What does that mean?
It’s
an acronym that means Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy
Operational Repair Squadron Engineer. Our primary focus is to provide combat
construction capabilities. We’re a civil
engineering group that supports contingency and special operations
worldwide. We have to be
self-sufficient. We build or repair
runways, housing, water supplies, whatever else a functioning military
organization would need to sustain operations in remote, and or, hostile
location.
And you do that in your spare time?
(Chuckles) Yes, I
keep myself busy.
So a whole lot of military goes into
your life?
(Laughs) Well I’ve been
involved with the military all of my adult life. As a Jew, I went back to Israel to serve my
mandatory three years in the Israeli Defense Force. As an Israeli citizen, I felt that I had to
do the required mandatory service.
Between work and your military
service, do you have a personal life?
I have a very full personal
life.
Care to elaborate? Who is the most important person in your
life?
(Clears throat) The most
important people in my life are my
family. My dad has passed away but I still have my mother. Then there’s my partner and one of my best
friends, Tom Ryan. But, the most
important person in my life is my business partner and now wife, Natasha.
What do you value most?
My privacy.
What is the most important thing that
ever happened to you? Why?
(Clear’s throat, again) I think there’ve been a few significant
events in my life. The first was my
military service in Israel, it changed my perspective on what it means to hold a
belief sacred. My father dying while I
was serving in Afghanistan, it made me realize how immature I still was even
though was in my late thirties. And most
recently, that I would do anything to keep the woman I love.
You’ve mentioned your wife a couple of
times tell us more about your relationship. Like how you two ended up together?
As I said in the previous
question, I enjoy my privacy. I will say she helped me discover a side of
myself I never knew existed. How we ended up together? I have my best friend Tom to thank for that. He gave me a present that changed my life forever.
Want to find how Aaron and
Natasha finally ended up their happily ever after?

Rosencrantz’s architectural firm is thriving—thanks to his brilliant and
tough-as-nails COO, Natasha Rodriguez.
But every day, they deny the powerful attraction raging between them.
Corporate meetings and contracts rule their lives—not to mention a string of
promises and commitments made to family. However, all bets are off when he
catches a sexy glimpse of her desire for him. His hopes sore…only to be dashed
by a horrible misunderstanding. So when mysterious and renowned Madame Eve sets
up these two powerful personalities to come together at the Las Vegas Carnivore
Club, which one will bend?
Excerpt:
“Don’t play games with me. You’re
not that good at it. If you really belong here, hand it to me.” She shook her
outstretched hand.
He suddenly understood what she
meant. He took out the broken half of a mitzvah
he’d sent the woman he’d be meeting. On Monday, he’d had it made, broken, and
sent half to the service to give to his date as a token of his sincerity. The
small plate was meant to be a signal to her, signifying she’d been his
intended, and a romantic gesture to demonstrate his commitment. He watched in
astonishment when she dug into her jacket pocket and took out a small silver
plate engraved in Hebrew with a verse from Song of Solomon. I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.
When she pieced the two halves
together, her hands shook, and he couldn’t help but shiver, too. He reeled at
the implications of this meeting. How could this happen? Of all the women in
the world who would respond to the demands of his one-night stand, how the hell
did he draw her?
“There are stipulations in our
arrangement, which aren’t negotiable. Are you prepared to accept them? All of
them?” he asked.
Tasha closed her hand around
the delicate silver plates, slipped them into her jacket pocket then met his
gaze. She stepped closer to him. He had to stop himself from taking a step away
from her when her eyes narrowed. He’d seen her dangerous expression just before
she went in for the kill on a deal. How many times had her tigress expression
turned him on?
“You forget who you’re talking
to. I’m the one you send out to do
the dirty work for your company, remember? Everything
is negotiable…”
