Don’t be fooled by the look, by the cover of the book.

Behind the make-up, the done-up hair, don’t miss the little tag: ‘Handle With Care’

I gave it a lot of thought about Alpha women. So strong, so proud, so firm; yet so kind, so gentle, so soft. I think an Alpha woman though strong and stubborn against the world, is looking for a man stronger who can make her feel secure in her weakness and proud in her meekness. A man with whom the strength can come undone because he will take care of the rest.

The wait might be long, the hours swamped with ambition and passion.

The filly might be strong, with fine muscle powerful against a gleaming well groomed coat.

The defences might be stubborn; seeking to find integrity stable and steady

The eyes might playfully sharp, pausing the imposter in his tracks

But when he comes along; like just another ordinary guy, unpretentious and unasuming

The hours condense into droplets of evergreen time, of peace, calm, serenity and knowing

That strength, passion, courage, hope and love have come together and are at home.
