Book description

Book seven in the New Horizons Series Emilio thinks his extra weight stands between him and love - can Ivan convince him to change his mind?Emilio Scarpino is a self development counsellor who can't seem to lose the extra pounds he believes stop him from finding love. He likes eating and hates perfectly fit men like his personal trainer - until he meets ex-Army man Ivan Macer. The man is not only a hunk but very interested in Emilio. Ivan became a security specialist when he left the Army two years ago and now co-owns a small company with his friend Leo. Part of the reason he left the Army was that he couldn't be himself - and he still hasn't come out, but would for the right man. Can Ivan convince Emilio that he cares more about who he is than what he looks like? Can Emilio believe him and develop a new sense of self?Reader Advisory: This story is part of a series but can be read as a standalone title. _x000D_ I'm a night owl who starts writing when everyone else in my time zone is asleep. I've loved reading all my life and spent most of my childhood with my nose buried in a book. Although I always wanted to be a writer, financial independence came first. Twenty-some years and a successful business career later I took some online writing classes and never looked back. Living and working in seven countries has taught me that there's more than one way to get things done. It has instilled tremendous respect for the many different cultures, beliefs, attitudes and preferences that exist on our planet. I like exploring those differences in my stories, most of which happen to be romances. My characters have a tendency to want to do their own thing, so I often have to rein them back in. The one thing we all agree on is the desire for a happy ending. I currently live in the United Kingdom, sharing my house with a vast collection of books. I like reading, traveling, spending time with my nieces and listening to classical music. I have a passion for science and learning new languages.
