After trying out everything from acting in musicals, singing opera, travelling and writing for a business newspaper, LUCY RYDER finally settled down to have a family and teach at a local community college, where she currently teaches English and Communication. However, she insists that writing is her first love, and time spent on it is more pleasure than work. She currently lives in South Africa, with her crazy dogs and two beautiful teenage daughters. When sheâs not driving her daughters around to their afternoon activities, cooking endless meals or officiating at swim meets, she can be found tapping away at her keyboard, weaving her wild imagination into hot romantic scenes.
I have a feeling that when grace and beauty were handed out I was either trying to sneak another serving of humour or I was off somewhere with my head in the clouds. Probably daydreaming about being swept off my feet by a hot hero⦠Iâve been swept off my feet, all rightâby a dozen huge figurative and literal waves that I havenât seen coming simply because Iâm a dreamer.
My heroine, Holly, is a dreamer too. Sheâs grown up an awkward ugly duckling in a family of beautiful, graceful swans and has had to learn to control her inner klutz. It hasnât been easy, and she tends to regress when sheâs flustered. And, boy, does Gabriel Alexander fluster her. So much so that itâs pretty much a disaster waiting to happenâbecause Hollyâs about to go down for the count.
Gabrielâs wrestling with his own demons. He recently lost the only family that mattered, and has just left a lucrative cosmetic surgery career in Hollywood to join the staff of a Manhattan teaching hospital. With his familyâs dysfunctional history, heâs convinced that committed relationships arenât his thing. In fact families arenât his thing. Heâs better off alone.
But then the adorably klutzy Holly Buchanan literally falls at his feet, and soon itâs Gabe who finds himself fallingâhard and fast. She sends him reeling, tilting his world on its axis. But maybe heâs always been off-centre and Holly has finally righted his world.
Since Iâm a little klutzy myself, I must confess to having a soft spot for Holly. I hope you do too.
Happy reading!
Lucy
This book is dedicated to Kathryn Cheshire, whose encouragement and understanding got me through an incredibly difficult year. I simply could not have done this book without your support and guidance.
Youâre awesome.
Also to my bestie, Marleine Dicks.
Thanks for all the reading you had to do of my earlierâand really badâmanuscripts. I eventually got it right, but I appreciate all the loving support and encouragement.
Thanks too for all the laughter you bring into my life.
I just wish we could spend more time laughing.
âHEY, LADY! WATCH IT.â
Dr. Holly Buchanan grimaced and threw a breathless âSorry!â over her shoulder at the guy sheâd nearly trampled as she dashed through the automatic doors into the huge marble lobby of West Manhattan Saints.
She was late. Late, late, late, damn it. And it was the second time this month. She should have suspected the morning would go to hell when sheâd slept through her alarm and then broken the heel of her favorite designer pumpsâhopping on one foot while trying to find the other shoe.
But nothing could have prepared her for the absolute chaos that greeted her when sheâd opened her front door and found furniture and boxes piled up against her door, littering the stairs and sidewalk.
It had taken a few shocked moments to work out that the avalanche was meant for the neighboring brownstone and not hers. Thank God. Unfortunately, it had taken a lot longer to convince the moverâa scary tattooed guy whoâd towered over her by at least a foot and a halfâthat the address he was looking for was right next door.
