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. 🙂
