An inconvenient desire
Growing up in the midst of her parentsâ fraught union, surgical nurse Lise Bradshaw has never wanted nor needed a man by her side. Until a sensual chance encounter with Dr. Dante Valentino on the dance floor of a Miami club sparks a full-blown passionate affair...leading to a shock proposal!
Dante knows what he wantsâa familyâand what he doesnâtâlove. But as the fire blazes between him and beautiful Lise he realizes that heâs inconveniently falling for his convenient fiancée!
Have you ever loved a seriesâbook/filmâso much that you couldnât wait to talk about the latest instalment with someone else who loved it too?
Brainstorming and writing the Hot Latin Docs quartet with Annie OâNeil, Amy Ruttan and Tina Beckett was like that for me! When an email pinged on our email loop, my excitement demanded I stop everything and go and bask in the latest awesome idea, or devour a snippet one of the other authors had shared from their work in progress.
Danteâs not an easy man to love. Halfway through writing this book even I became afraid he couldnât be saved. Thank you, Amy Ruttan, for talking me down! So I pushed on through, and now I know: it takes a strong heroine to save a broken man hidden behind his gorgeous smoke and mirrors.
All my characters become real to me as I write their stories, but these lovely ladies have made Danteâs whole family real to me now too.
Thank you for picking up Danteâs Shock Proposal, and if this is your first Hot Latin Doc please search out Santiagoâs Convenient Fiancée, Alejandroâs Sexy Secret and Rafaelâs One Night Bombshell.
Happy reading!

SHE WAS BEING stood up.
Badgered into a blind date by her coworkers, and they hadnât even picked a responsible man whoâd actually show up to the club where heâd asked her to meet him.
Nurse Lise Bradshaw looked at her watch for the tenth time in twenty minutes, waved down a server, ordered a mojito, then let herself look somewhere besides the door sheâd been staring at since arriving.
Donât think about him.
Donât think about any of it.
To heck with judgmental people who had no idea what it was like to date in the current decade and absolutely didnât support her life plan.
No one here knew sheâd been stood up, and even if they figured it out, she didnât know any of them anyway.
The music was good. Tonight could be an embarrassing footnote to her week, or it could be the fun sheâd dressed for. Even if she was there alone, no one was ever really alone on a dance floor in South Beach.
If, by some miracle, her date managed to drag his sorry butt to the club, amid the black and white decor, her slinky red wrap dress would stand out whether it was crowded or not, and it was still too early to be hopping.
In her safe, quiet life, Lise went to work, worked hard, read a lot, and planned for her futureâa future where sheâd have a family again. She didnât go clubbing with her coworkers, and had no close friends to speak of since moving from Jacksonville to Miamiâso didnât go dancing with them either. Basically, she didnât go clubbing. Ifâno, whenâshe managed to get her plan rolling, there wouldnât be any nights in her future for dancing, so she might as well make the most of it.
