We have lovely friend and debut New Zealand Author Barbara DeLeo and she came with a GIVEAWAY! So over to Barbara now.....
Hi Nas,
It’s been a wild couple of weeks for me as
I celebrate the release of my debut book, Contract
for Marriage, but it’s wonderful to be at Romance Book Paradise and
chatting to your readers. Thanks so much for having me.
Contract for Marriage explores something
that can often cause relationships to falter from the start, or cause rifts between
families that leave unbearable scars. I’m talking about when lovers cross the
social “class” or wealth barrier.
I think we all like to imagine that people
overlook things like status and money in relationships these days, but when
these things have defined you, or shaped your world, how can you know that
someone wants you and not the package you come with?

Ruby and Christo from Contract for Marriage grew up on the same
estate on the city’s golden mile. Ruby was the daughter of the very wealthy owner,
Christo, the son of the Greek immigrant housekeeper. After growing closer as
teenagers, they were caught making love by Ruby’s father who banished Christo
from the house and grounds forever, claiming Christo was only using Ruby for
status and privilege. Horrified that Ruby didn’t stand up for him, Christo
leaves without a response.
The book opens ten years later, only this
time the house is in dispute after the death of Ruby’s parents. Christo wants
the house, the only home his mother has ever known, so she can retire there in
peace, Ruby has travelled back from the States where she’s been for the last
ten years. She wants the house for her unborn baby so it can have links to the
family it’s lost.
The twist? Now Christo has the millions and
Ruby nothing, except her ex-lover’s baby, the baby Christo could never father.
Imagine you’re single and you’ve just won a
million dollars. How do you think that might change the way you approach
relationships? Would you be less trusting? I’d love to hear what you’d do and I
have an e-copy of Contract for Marriage to give away to one lucky commenter!
