The Coldest Place on the Planet (Plus Giveaway!)

Posted by Kate Carlisle Nov 25 2011, 12:30 am in Bandita Booty, Christmas, contest, contests, guest blogger, Holidays, Kate Carlisle, Maureen Child, prizes

Welcome to the holiday season, everyone! Are you making your lists and checking them twice? Planning your holiday parties and marathon shopping trips? Or do you fantasize about escaping the whole season and running off to a tropical island somewhere?

There’s a strong fantasy element in writing for Harlequin Desires, which I love. I’m not talking about fantasy in the sense of dragons or faeries… I’m talking about fantasies such as marrying one of the richest men in the world, traveling to exotic, luxurious locations, never having to worry about money again. Of course the heroines are smart and savvy and can take care of themselves… but for readers (and me!), the fantasy of being able to pay your bills no matter what is pretty intoxicating.

My December Desire, AN INNOCENT IN PARADISE, takes place on the lush tropical paradise of Alleria. The Caribbean island is privately owned by the ultra-rich, handsome, and truly decent Sutherland brothers. These cousins of my popular Duke brothers possess the hero trifecta: money, looks, and a great sense of honor. Plus, hello, they own a gorgeous Caribbean island (just one of their many jaw-dropping real estate investments). I love these guys! Ah, Fantasy.

And to make the fantasy even more delicious, I brought research scientist Grace Farrell to the island from a place that could possibly be the coldest place on the planet… Minnesota! Seriously – I read an article online from Christian Science Monitor that said that International Falls, Minnesota, is one of the five coldest places on earth. In January, they hit 46 below zero. Forty-six. Below. {{Shiver with me!}} They call themselves the Nation’s Icebox… as if that’s a positive thing. Who wants to go to an icebox?! (Not me! I grab my sweatshirt when the temperature drops below 70.)

It’s no wonder Grace can’t believe her good fortune. She’s about to step into a fantasy that’s beyond her wildest imagination. Here’s a quickie excerpt:

Glancing around the luxurious hotel room with its elegant white wainscoting, coffered ceilings and wide open view of the sparkling Caribbean waters, Grace allowed herself to revel in a moment of happy amazement. How in the world had she landed in such a beautiful place?

Of course the question was rhetorical, she thought with a smile, since she knew exactly how she’d arrived. But it was remarkable that less than forty-eight hours ago, she’d been racing through the Minneapolis airport to make her flight. It had been difficult to run in her wool coat and thick sweater, heavy jeans, gloves and boots. What a difference between then and now …

I’m thrilled that AN INNOCENT IN PARADISE is coming out in December! And guess what. My good friend Maureen Child also has a book out this month with Desire – THE TEMPORARY MRS. KING – and it, too, has a tropical island setting. Talk about a Double Fantasy!

We’re both positive that December readers will be eager to escape to the islands, so to celebrate our double release, we’re each giving away a copy of our book to a random commenter today. That’s two winners today!

But even better, you can enter our fabulous contest for the grand prize in our Tropical Christmas giveaway! It’s a beach bag filled with lots of fun, beachy prizes to pamper you and make you smile. Click here to Enter: Tropical Christmas giveaway!

Have you ever been to the Caribbean or someplace else that’s tropical? Where did you go and what was the most memorable part of your trip? If you haven’t ever traveled to the tropics, do you want to some day? If so, where would you most like to go?
