The love story continues….

Can their love survive when Sophia’s world collides with Aaron’s stubborn country pride?

Sophia, a world-class figure skater, returns to Aaron Jackson’s arms, proposes to him, and he accepts. Now, she insists he come to England, at least for a two-week visit and to formalize their engagement. Aaron balks. He’s got a ranch to run. Ultimately, though, he reluctantly agrees and finds himself a fish out of water and Sophia a completely different woman than the one he fell in love with.

Sophia is a city girl who loves the social limelight; Aaron is a country boy who prefers anything but. The clash of cultures begins in earnest as Sophia tries to maneuver Aaron into ‘learning London’ …and she almost breaks him …But not quite. Tyranny or anguish is his choice, and, ultimately, his choice is neither. But he loves her.

CLEAN, SAFE READING

This book contains no profanity, no graphic sex, nothing to make you want to hide your eyes. This novel is just pure entertainment in good taste. There’s suggestion, there’s sensual tenderness and intimacy, there’s even situational humor (‘humour’ to you Brits), but it’s all General Audience. Nothing cringe-worthy.

NOTE TO READERS: This book is written using two languages, U.K. English in Sophia’s point-of-view and U.S. English in Aaron’s, so word definitions, syntax and phrasing, as well as spellings change accordingly. You are advised. 🙂 —D. L. Keur and Carole Hill.

NO AI CONTENT, GUARANTEED. This is all original work by D. L. Keur and Carole Hill.

Book Number 2 is Coming Along….

“What is a ‘sprog’?” ask I of my British collaborator. 

In the latest back-and-forth sends of the present manuscript—book two of Sophia and Aaron’s tempestuous love story—that term stopped me dead in the water.  Me?  I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Western American, but one who, admittedly, has lived in Europe and visited the UK in decades past. While I am decently educated, versed in several languages, most of them ‘dead’, ‘sprog’ is one word that made my eyebrows squiggle.

Carole proceeded to ed-ja-ma-cate me with delightfully bubbly laughter and a bit of drollery thrown in.  (Carole is kind and patient with confused Americans, a good thing when you’re the confounded American.)  “A newborn, a baby,” said she. 

“Oh.”  Cute.  And it is.  Visions of fully-formed baby frogs immediately flooded my mind-sight.

This is the sort of thing that happens on a daily basis in collaborating together on these books.  She’ll say, ‘We don’t say it like that!’.  I’ll say, “We don’t do it like that,” and so it goes. 

In the writing of this love saga, I’ve learned a whole lot, and I’m loving it.  She says she has, too.

So when will book 2 be out?  We hope soon.  Thinking toward the end of September. 🙂

Welcome to Brit Meets Yank

Welcome to Brit Meets Yank, a site devoted to clean, wholesome, contemporary romance as written by Carole Hill and D. L. Keur (at Amazon and dlkeur.com). The first Brit Meets Yank book is now available in print and will be available May 17th in eBook and in Kindle Unlimited. What’s it about?

The 1st Promise by Carole Hill and D. L. Keur

When City Brit meets Country Yank, two worlds collide, and only the dog doesn’t bite.

“Run, Aaron!”—that’s what he told himself …and he almost made it, were it not for a woman in harm’s way, one Sophia Morgan-Smythe. He counted himself lucky to have gotten by with only a couple of all-but-lethal bites from what turned out to be a savage, teacup-sized rageaholic. He thought wrong.

World champion figure skater Sophia Morgan-Smythe wasn’t one to let outstanding debts gather interest, and she’s bound to repay the grumpy, hostile American hick who paid for her tow …only to wind up further in his debt when he steps in a second time to save her life, and the only good thing about the guy is his dog named Buckley.

Brit meets Yank in this epic tale of love against all odds. Buckley likes her; Aaron doesn’t. Sophia is totally confounded.

And, again, this is CLEAN READING.

No graphic sex, no profanity, no gore. There are suggestive scenes. There are sensual scenes. There are a couple of fight scenes, but there is absolutely nothing that cannot be shared with your children and grandchildren. If you love good love stories, this book’s for you! —D. L. Keur and Carole Hill.
