Duel of Hearts
Just got my rights back -- and here it is, brand new at Amazon Kindle and Smashwords! This book was deemed a Desert Isle Keeper at All About Romance and won the Golden Quill award as Best Regency of 2002. However, it has the greatest disparity of all my books, review-wise. It seems to be the kind of book that readers either love or hate, depending, frankly, on whether or not they find it funny. I think it’s hilarious. If you don’t, you probably won’t like it!
When I first started writing DUEL OF HEARTS, I wanted to play with a concept that had intrigued me for a while: what happens when two “alpha” personality types are irresistibly attracted to each other? The adage has always been that opposites attract … but that’s not always true. Sometimes like is drawn to like. It was easy for me to picture two gentle and retiring souls living happily together. But two fiery, dominant personalities? How would that work? Falling in love requires surrender. Falling in love means that someone else’s wishes become more important to you than your own. How could two people who have never compromised on anything, commit to that? It was like the old joke that asks how porcupines make love. The answer? “Very carefully.”
The resulting book was wonderful fun to write. Drake and Delilah are made for each other (quite literally, of course) … much to their dismay. They fight their mutual attraction tooth and nail, with no success whatsoever. Apparently some readers laugh at them as heartily as their author did.
