Ti proteggerò

by Bethany Campbell

Bella ed esuberante, Miranda non cerca volutamente di attirare l'attenzione: è una calamita naturale. Il problema è che lei è la figlia di un senatore, e mentre la stampa ama parlare di lei, il padre lo odia. E adesso il suo modo di fare ha avuto come conseguenza delle lettere minatorie da parte un maniaco sconosciuto. Per tenerla al sicuro suo padre, esasperato, la spedisce in un ranch in Arkansas sotto la protezione di Quint Wilcox, sua ex guardia del corpo che adesso fa il veterinario. Quint è forte e impenetrabile, ostile e... terribilmente bello. Lui gestisce un centro di riabilitazione per la fauna selvatica e mette subito in chiaro che preferisce di gran lunga occuparsi di animali che di una ragazzina viziata e volubile. Sembrano proprio due opposti senza speranza...

About the author

Sally McCluskey (aka Bethany Campbell) was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, as an only child. She attended college beginning as a chemistry major, after quickly switching her major to English. She obtainded a B.A. from Wayne State Teachers College, and an M.A. in English from the University of Arkansas. She met her husband, Dan Borengasser, while both were graduate students at Northern Illinois University, where she obtained a Ph.D. in English.

Sally taught and in her spare time wrote, but after marriage, the couple moved to an area where teaching jobs were scarce, and she turned to writing full time. She wrote poetry, articles, short stories, and contributed to textbooks, but finally decided to try a romance novel at the urging of her mom and aunt, both avid romance fans. To Sally’s amazement, Harlequin bought her story After the Stars Fall and published it in 1985 under the pseudonym Bethany Campbell. She has also written as Lisa Harris. She has won three Romance Writers of America (RWA) RITA Awards, three Romantic Times Reviewer Awards, a Maggie Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence.

She lived with her husband in northwest Arkansas. Her husband, who serves as Vice President of Ozark Film & Video Productions, also writes, and has had several short films and plays produced.

Sweet story

One of my all-time favourite romances. Love-love-loved this story.

Update, January 24,2018. I re-read this just to see if it is still my favorite romance of all time and...yes. It is. I would love to know what Miranda ever did with her relationship with the Senator & Jacqueline. Did she and Quint have children? What was Duke's reaction to their relationship? So many questions - I wish Bethany Campbell would somehow re-invent them, at least for a cameo, in a new story.

I read this book as a kid and found it again a few years ago, and I loved it just as much.. I've always wondered what happened to them..
