I was at a convention over the weekend and in a meet & greet when Hildie McQueen mentioned a new Valentine's Day anthology she was about to release. One sizzling hot hero, five different worlds, five fabulous authors...do I have your attention yet? I know I was intrigued! Which Valentino will you fall in love with? And the best part about this anthology- it's just 99 Cents!
Behind The Curtain of Call me Valentino
By Hildie McQueen
Our group of five authors planned and plotted to do a Valentine's Day anthology, but needed something to bring all the stories together. A common thread that will weave each novella and bring them into a theme surrounding Valentine's Day is an easy thing. Coming up with something not done before...not so easy.
The "what if?" came with the conception of my muse, the hero for my story. As I toyed with the idea of a Highlander named Valent, archer, of course (queue the cupid reference) the muse said. "Why can't I be the common thread? Put me in each of the author's hands and I will play whatever role they put me in." What a smart guy that Valentino.
Hence, I take full credit because he can't since technically he is imaginary. I hope that you can catch glimpses of the same character in each story as he is thrown into different arenas to conquer our reader's minds and hearts.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Valentino. Same Hero, Different Worlds.
In The Matron, Kirsten Osbourne's Valentino is a Cowboy in the 1800s
In Undercovers Jamie Lee Scott's Valentino is a modern day Detective
In The Brute and the Blogger Olvia Gaine's Valentino is a real estate developer

The Matron by Kirsten Osbourne
Since being widowed, Cassie Morgan had devoted her life to the orphans in the orphanage she'd managed. When a new church took over the orphanage and decided to turn it into a boys' home, she was both frightened and unsure about how she would make things work for the girls. Being told she had to take fifteen young ladies all the way to Texas from New York didn't make her feel better.
Valentino Hayes had spend his entire adult life searching for the younger brother he vaguely remembered. Just after finding a lead that would send him to Fort Worth, he was offered the job of driving a bus full of orphans to Texas. He jumped at the chance, knowing he needed to not only find his brother, but work while he was searching. He didn't plan on Mrs. Morgan's love for the children to turn his head. Could he convince her to travel with him? And how was he going to provide for a wife while he was still searching for his brother?
Undercovers by Jamie Lee Scott

A month can be a lifetime, or just enough time to make a man want to change his brutish ways.
Highlander, The Archer by Hildie McQueen Valent made an oath to protect the McLeod clan after they rescued him as a foundling. However, after years of mistreatments at the Lairds hands, he questions his obligation to uphold his promise.
When a rival clan attacks and kills her brothers, Ariana McLeod's world is turned upside down. That she's fallen in love with the handsome archer, Valent, is a complication and a blessing at once. Amidst battles, revelations and treachery, is it possible to expect their love to triumph?
