Kate, a director for Artist for International Aid, the company Sage volunteered with, has always been so focused on the job and very disappointed in the celebrities sent to her location. They're seeking publicity, after all. At first she doesn't see Sage for who he is, but the journey you take as she starts to see the person inside of Sage will keep you reading page after page!
It was not hard to love Sage right away. This story is powerful and beautiful.
Book #2 The Remingtons, Love in Bloom Series #11
Kate Parello runs a volunteer program in Belize for Artists for International Aid, where she deals with self-centered artists who use the program as a means to repair their marred reputations. She loves the country, the people, and what AIA stands for, but too many diva volunteers have turned her off to press-seeking celebrities altogether and left her questioning the value of the volunteer program. When she meets incredibly handsome and charming Sage, he stirs emotions she hasn’t felt for ages, even though he represents the things she despises.
Laid-back artist Sage Remington escapes his wealthy lifestyle in the Big Apple for a two-week journey of self-discovery to figure out how a guy who has so much can feel so empty. When he meets ultra-organized Kate, who lives her life the way he's always dreamed of living his, the attraction is too hot to ignore, but Sage is there to figure out what’s missing in his life, not to find a woman.
Every look, and every late-night chat in the romantic jungle brings them closer together, but Sage can barely think past stripping away Kate’s misconceptions about him. Kate fights him every step of the way—even though she finds it hard to ignore the strikingly handsome, generous-to-a-fault artist who wants to do nothing more than right the wrongs of the world—and love her to the ends of the earth.
STROKE OF LOVE is part of the Love in Bloom series.
