Release day: The Playboy’s Dark Secret

Today is the official release of The Playboy’s Dark Secret by Madeline Ash (ebook, Destiny Romance). Here’s the blurb:

Leaving behind an international career and an elite party lifestyle, soccer star Dean Thorn has returned home to run the family vineyard after thirteen years abroad. Tormented by a dark secret, he has vowed never to get close to a woman again.

No stranger to hard work, Rafi Dalton is too busy for love. Since running away from her career as a professional ballerina, she has been building a new life for herself as a seasonal worker with little money and no fixed address.

Rafi is nothing like the women Dean left behind. She is strong, independent and not remotely interested in his fame or money. The attraction between them pushes him right to the edge – but can he trust her enough to leave his past behind?

The Playboy’s Dark Secret is a tender, sexy romance set on a beautiful Australian vineyard.

Madeline dropped by today to tell us a little about this book:

The setting of this book came to me before the plot or characters. A vineyard in the Yarra Valley during harvest season. Green vines heavy with the weight of ripe grapes. Hot air balloons wafting overhead each morning. A lush landscape with distant blue mountains. With such rich imagery, my heroine needed to be a part of the setting, not simply surrounded by it. And so she became a grape-picker on the hero’s vineyard, showing the hard work behind the beauty. Their romance is one of strong attraction and clever conversation–combined with the gorgeous vineyard, I wrote my perfect love story! I hope you enjoy it too.
