White Roses for My Love

About the Book

This book is the continuing love story of Bethany and Alessandro Rodrigos, who were introduced in my first novel, Mistaken Obsession. Their Hotel Aria in Buenos Aires is successful, and when Sandro’s sister Ana Dumont and her children are forced to leave Paris and join her brother in her native Argentina, Ana organizes a singing show in the beautiful hotel ballroom once a month, with the families of the Dumonts and the Rodrigos taking part, to earn some money for her daily expenses. All the family members have talents, which are enjoyed by the audiences, and the shows are very popular. Ana and the children return to Paris at the invitation of her former modelling agency, and she looks forward to a reunion with her husband, Pierre. Ana is lauded by her previous employers, but it is proven once again that it is not safe for Tamara in France when she is attacked on stage by the son of her previous attacker. They go back to Buenos Aires to their life without their father, Pierre Dumont, who remains in France to continue his medical career and working for the anti-terrorist group he had been working with prior to his abduction in Syria.

Sandro and his family love to visit the ranch as often as they are able to. The ranch has been passed down to the eldest son for generations. It is wonderful for them as an escape from the stresses of the city. However, visits to the ranch, which are usually so peaceful, are interrupted by uninvited guests—the first is an illegal attempt to take cattle from the property, and Sandro is shot by one of the intruders, which causes great stress for the family. Subsequent events eventually lead up to a greater tragedy, which affects them all, and life will never be the same again.

About the Author

Eve Grafton was born in Western Australia. From an early age her favorite pastime was reading books of every genre. Her hobbies over the years have included pottery, greeting card making, and painting. With her husband and three sons, they have traveled and lived in many countries around the world for varying amounts of time. In their later years, Eve and her husband enjoyed cruising to many other countries and also spent several months in the Americas and Canada. After they visited Argentina, it must have been entered into Eve’s psyche because she dreamt of it at length and decided to write her dreams down; hence the books, written down just as she dreamed of Buenos Aires, a beautiful city with beautiful people and fascinating history.

Eve and her husband spent twenty-four years at their hobby farm in the countryside of Western Australia, enjoying the peace and quiet. They farmed sheep and cattle and grape vines and became self-sufficient on their farm. They now live in Perth and enjoy visits from their sons and their families.
