Tina Beckett: Hot Docs On Call: New York City Nights

About the Authors

A three-time Golden Heart® finalist, TINA BECKETTis the product of a Navy upbringing. Fortunately, she found someone who enjoys travelling just as much as she does and married him! Having lived in Brazil for many years, Tina is fluent in Portuguese and loves to use that beautiful country as a backdrop for many of her stories. When not writing, or visiting far-flung places, Tina enjoys riding horses, hiking with her family and hanging out on Facebook and Twitter.

There’s never been a day when there haven’t been stories in AMALIE BERLIN’s head. When she was a child they were called daydreams. Now when someone interrupts her daydreams she delights in saying, ‘I’m working!’

Amalie lives in Southern Ohio with her family and a passel of critters. When not working, she reads, watches movies, geeks out over documentaries and randomly decides to learn antiquated skills. In case of a zombie apocalypse, she’ll still have bread, lacy underthings, granulated sugar, and always something new to read.

After trying out everything from acting in musicals, singing opera, travelling and writing for a business newspaper, LUCY RYDERfinally settled down to have a family and teach at a local community college, where she currently teaches English and Communication. However, she insists that writing is her first love. She currently lives in South Africa, with her crazy dogs and two beautiful teenage daughters. When she’s not driving her daughters around to their afternoon activities, cooking those endless meals or officiating at swim meets, she can be found tapping away at her keyboard, weaving her wild imagination into hot romantic scenes.

About the Publisher

Hot Doc from Her Past

Tina Beckett

To those who hold two countries in their hearts.

Twelve years earlier

THERÉSIA CAMARA SAT cross-legged on her bedroom floor surrounded by clothes. Someone else’s clothes. Two huge garbage bags full, to be exact. She glanced down at the brand-new sundress she’d worked ten hours to buy and felt sick. What had seemed like an extravagant purchase two days ago—one that had made her feel grown-up and independent—looked cheap when compared with the designer labels on what she’d just been given.

And how could she not wear them? Worse, how could she not be utterly grateful that her best friend had thought of her when sorting through her closet? There were more clothes in those two sacks than she’d ever owned.

What it made her feel, though, was poor.

She swallowed. It was okay. She’d make good use of them, including the plum-colored prom dress tucked inside a boutique garment bag that now hung on the back of her closet door. No one would remember that Abby had worn it last year, right?

Tessa’s parents—who’d worked hard ever since moving from Brazil to the United States—were just getting their painting and remodeling business off the ground. In fact, they’d recently secured a huge contract with a Manhattan firm, redoing a group of office buildings, a project that would keep them busy for the next few years, if the owner was happy with the first batch. But there were materials and supplies to buy in preparation for the work. They certainly didn’t have the money to buy her a fancy party dress she would wear only once. Or clothes in preparation for her senior year in high school, which started in two short weeks.
