In fact, one does not simply fall for the Duke.He happens to fall head over heelsFor bestselling romance novelist Caroline Mortimer, glossary lover and independent book reviewer, dating was plastic surgery gone wrong, while men (and her profession) seemed to exist as a convoluted mismatch. The daunting idea of getting her head around falling for a certified lothario featured in the credits page had Carol, armed with only the scantest of references from luridly popular romances (never at the expense of sanity), dodging mirrors in elaborate attempts to envision a life beyond magazines, dating websites and TV reality shows.Clearly some inspirational epiphanies would help, damnit...Bringing her single-minded sense of pragmatism, Carol had initially chosen to invest her free time (from work) profiling the gorgeous yet high maintenance concoction known only as Duchess Demeter, endorse an eclectic collection of creatures born of the internet with the sole intention of rising to Her Ladyship's haughty lofty standards, and plotting a tentative reunion with John. Unfortunately for Carol (and occasionally the casual romance fiction reader), her original plan had gone awry, and she'd wound up as guests at an opulent house party aboard an exotic cruiser, nursed from a hangover by his deliberately maddening confidante, Ashleigh Barrington. Now she took refuge in moonlight-drenched Deck Salon, hiding from braying silence-breakers' cameras in classic Mary Poppins mode before reenacting the wild, main-patio chase scene as venture to save Darwin from dismemberment by a weight-lifting ox, complete with racial slurs and the restriction of personal space.While she hated to admit it, her odd crew did have a point: when it suited them, these men were hard to ignore.
