This week's post is by Rachelle Ayala from her novel, Hidden Under Her Heart.
Maryanne Torres
I’m Maryanne Torres, the unfortunate
heroine in Rachelle Ayala’s latest book, Hidden Under Her Heart.
Okay, so I’m darn lucky too, but that’s only because I twisted
Rachelle’s little finger and demanded a happy ending and a hot
hero, Lucas Knight.
Professionally, I’m a nurse and a
pretty good one. I care about my patients and am happy to make their
lives better. But I was a dating disaster and always picked the wrong
men. I made some bad decisions and ended up raped and pregnant. Not
very smart.
You’ll have to read my story, because
it’s too embarrassing to talk about. I was shoved into a media
circus while still in shock over my condition. I had tough decisions
to make and even though Lucas tried to be supportive, I could not
trust him to fully accept me. How Rachelle pulled it off is still
beyond my understanding. But I’m more than satisfied with the
ending, even though I didn’t think I’d survive the story.
1. The worst Valentine's Day gift I
ever received was...
Valentine’s Day before Lucas Knight
was a depressing day. If I had a date, or a steady boyfriend, they
were more interested in what I would do for them. My last boyfriend
before Lucas would say, “I believe in women’s lib. Where are you
taking me?” Oh, and the one before that? Jerk. He gave me a pack of
condoms, jumbo sized. What a laugh. That was the worst thing I ever
received on Valentine’s Day.
2. My idea of the perfect date would
be...
with
Lucas Knight, of course. He’s daring me to take a ride in a balloon
over the foothills. It would be thrilling and we can touch a piece of
Heaven while up there. We’ll get into the position and kiss right
at the highest altitude.
3. If you want to give me candy...
You can always placate me with
chocolate, the darker the better. Lindor Dark Chocolate Truffles,
Lady Godiva, and Guittard,
right here in Burlingame California.
You Da One by Rihanna. Lucas Knight is the only man for me. I knew it about halfway through the book, but I doubted near the end, afraid I had lost him because of a secret from my past. Fortunately, I almost broke Rachelle’s finger and she gave me my man back.
