I’m originally from Spain, but now I live in Minnesota. Adjusting to the mind-numbing cold of winter has been a challenge, but I have begun to enjoy the winter sports available in my adopted home.
What is your job?
I own Torbellino Enterprises. An international business that includes a division dedicated to green energy like wind power.
Are you a people person or a lone wolf?
I’ve always been fairly alone, but my family means the world to me. My parents and grandparents are gone and I wasn’t blessed with siblings. Fortunately, I have many close cousins.
What is your main goal in life?
It used to be business and making a profit, but meeting Erika Bergstrom changed all that. From now on my goal is to make a good life for us and for our family.
Who is your love interest?
My father and grandfather both told me that I’d know the woman I should marry as soon as I met her, but I hadn’t believed them. But they were right for I knew I would love my Erika from the moment I met her.
What is your favorite thing about Erika?
Her love of family. She has many brothers and sisters and two grown daughters. Her love for them shows me how our lives will be and it makes me happy.
What makes Erika sexy?
The curves of her body. She worries that she’s plus size, but I love every inch of her.

Chapter One
His dark eyes caressed the curves of her buttocks like a warm hand. Erika Larson-Bergstrom shivered as she glanced at him out the corner of her eye. She licked her lips as his gaze captured hers and he smiled, unnerving her while at the same time arousing her until she ached with need.
A part of her wondered if her mischievous twenty-two-year-old twin daughters had set this up. After all, they were the ones who’d given her the $100 gift certificate for Erotically Bound, the upscale Minneapolis adult store she shopped in right now. But the man eyeing her was no twenty-two-year-old kid. He was all man and she wanted to explore every inch of him…intimately.
Erika looked down at the lingerie she fingered, trying to clear her lust-filled mind. Her biggest problem was that she’d spent the last twelve years rearing her daughters as a single mom. She could count on one hand the number of men she’d dated during that time. The number she’d slept with was even less. She was just horny and needed to get laid, and he was the answer to a horny woman’s prayer.
“Miss, could you assist me?” His voice was warm and deep with the hint of an Antonio Banderas-style Spanish accent. She looked up into the warmest brown eyes she’d ever seen. At least he’d called her “miss” and not “ma’am”.
“Assist you?”
“Yes, I must buy a gift for a lady and I have no idea what she might want.”
“Oh.” Erika forced a smile to her tight lips. “Sure.”
Well, that certainly burst her bubble. He had a woman he was shopping for. It figured. Of course it should have been a relief he wasn’t buying undies for himself since he was shopping in the women’s lingerie section, but she’d been dreaming he might possibly be as attracted to her as she was to him. No such luck.
He wanted a buddy to help him shop for another woman. Shit. Buddy seemed to be the only way men viewed her—especially lately—and it was almost always because she was a plus-size woman. Women with big butts liked sex too. Damn men, anyway.
“So what’s the gift for? Your anniversary? Her birthday?”
“Anniversary? No.” He laughed. She liked his laugh…a lot. He threw himself into it. His head back and his hands running through his hair. Thick, black hair. Yum.
Focus, Erika. Do not notice the full, wide lips and straight, white teeth. The high cheekbones. She swallowed, her gaze skimming over him. The broad shoulders, narrow hips and tight ass. Forget how hot he is. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t ignore his appeal.
“I’m shopping for my administrative assistant.”
“Your…?” Oh geez. Sleeping with an employee. Could it get worse?
He waved his hand as he read her expression. “No, she is getting married and this place has a bridal registry.”
“A bridal registry? You’ve got to be kidding.” Erika raised her brows.
“I know. It sounds insane, and so I told her. But she assured me it was so.” He pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her. “Here is a list of things the clerk printed for me that have not yet been purchased for her. My assistant is very organized and wants no duplicates.”
Erika looked at the list he held and realized he was telling the truth. It consisted of lingerie, loungewear, dresses, shoes and, good grief, sex toys and movies.
“It’s…um…comprehensive.”
“Yes. I refuse to buy her some of these items. I am her friend, yes, but her employer first. Can you imagine if I showed up at the office bridal shower with,” he took the list back, glaring at it while shaking his head in disbelief, “a Rotating G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator?”
“It would certainly be the talk of the party,” Erika agreed dryly.
About
the Author
Francesca
Hawley
Hi. I’m
Francesca Hawley and I’m a fat chick. A woman with dangerous curves just like
my heroines.
Many
people don’t like the word, “fat” but I do because it’s the truth and I’ve
learned to own it. I am a fat chick and I always will be. When I first began to
read romance, the heroines were all thin. I kept wondering, where were the fat
heroines? I wanted to read about a fat chick who loved herself—or at least
learned to love herself—and a hot alpha hero who liked her jiggly bits just the
way they were. Since I didn’t find many big girls to read about, I decided to
write about them, so Francesca Hawley – author of Romance with Dangerous Curves
was born.
In a
Francesca Hawley romance, my readers will find authentic, sensual, fat heroines
who love and are loved by their intense, passionate, and seductive Alpha
heroes. I hope you enjoy their dangerous curves just as much as their hunky
heroes do.
