Contract for Love is a romance novel that follows the blossoming love between two characters who faced numerous challenges throughout the book.
Rhonda Leibel of Usherville captured the evolving story in her book.
“This is my third book,” she said. “I have always enjoyed writing and find it very therapeutic.
"My passion for historical romance novels began when I was a teenager and picked up a Johanna Lindsey paperback one day," said Leibel. " I couldn’t put it down and was so thrilled with her writing that I purchased as many as were published, waiting with bated breath until the next one was released. I have collected all of her books and have reread them on many occasions."
"A few years ago, I was released from my employment and found myself with idle time and found solace in reading her books once again. I reread her biography in which she described that she wrote her first book on a whim and so I decided I would do the same. I formulated an idea and ran with it, producing my first book, Princess’ Knight. The ideas kept coming to me and so I kept writing and continue to do so.
“My second book, Deep Beauty, was published in 2017 and with my third book, Contract for Love, I have accomplished and fulfilled a journey with an added passion to write more. I live on the Canadian prairies on the edge of a forest with my husband and lovable pets and utilize the peace and tranquillity to put my ideas on paper," concluded Leibel.
The book follows Otea Emmons, the vainly arrogant young lass, who would let nothing prevent her from engaging in an arranged marriage to a stranger. She stubbornly maintains that no one would break her strong resolve, especially not him.
Securing passage on a ship would allow her to sail away from the impending marriage and she would be rid of her prospective suitor. The young and very dapper, Devry Smith, was hindered from receiving what he felt was due to him. He only needed to fulfil the terms of one contract and she was the perfect solution. Only one night of passion was required to secure the terms of the contract, but would love get in the way, as he sailed right into her arms on a sea of love.
