Dear Reader,
Itâs always a pleasure to get to work with other authors on a continuity like this one! The Davenport siblings are certainly interesting, with challenging dynamics and a few family struggles, but they all eventually get their happily-ever-afters. :)
I love it that the editors set my story mostly in Spain. I enjoy researching interesting places, and Spain was no exception. One thing that surprised me is that there really are a large number of dukedoms in the country!
This is the first book Iâve written with the fake engagement trope, which was fun.
ER doctor Miranda Davenport agrees to help Mateo with the ruseâpartly because her life history has made her a people-pleaser, and also because she knows what itâs like to feel as if you might not live up to your familyâs expectations. Mateo Alves, EMT and member of the Spanish nobility, thinks Miranda is just the woman to stand up to his parents. Theyâre pushing him to move back home, marry, and take over running the family estate, but he wants to keep his life in New York City. Then he finds out that Miranda might be a great doctor, but her toughness and confidence are a veneer she puts on to cover her vulnerabilitiesâand heâs placed her in a situation that reminds her of past pain in her life.
Mateo and Miranda help each other reconcile their pasts and see that the things theyâve always believed about their roles in their families arenât entirely true. Theyâve both held close to a deep conviction that theyâve never measured up, and by seeing each other carrying this false belief they learn to let go.
