by Elizabeth Graham

Visiting her mother's old friend Isabel Castillo in Mexico, Laura was hoping to draw on local colour as the background for her new novel. She did better than that in fact from Isabel's lordly nephew Roman she found the model for her romantic hero. But romantic heroes are not always noted for the more desirable real-life qualities of niceness and kindness and nor was Roman. She would be very foolish Laura soon realized to fall in love with him. For no woman it was clear; not even a wife would hold Roman Castillo's interest for very long. Hero: Ramon Castillo Heroine: Isabel Castillo
