When my husband—then boyfriend—and I started dating, we lived a few blocks apart in San Francisco’s Marina District. From walking across the Golden Gate Bridge to eating at the many restaurants on Chestnut Street, our dating revolved around life in the city. San Francisco and romance became synonymous, especially after my husband proposed one chilly December night at Crissy Field, with the Golden Gate Bridge as the backdrop.
Four months after we married, we moved and adjusted to life in the suburbs. When it came time to pick the setting for Cassandra and Troy’s story, the choice was easy: San Francisco—one of the most romantic cities on Earth. I missed living there so much. I had such wonderful memories of dating, planning our wedding, registering for gifts, being newlyweds. I knew it was the perfect place for my characters to fall in love. I hope you’ll agree!
People might sing of leaving their hearts in San Francisco, but it’s where I found mine. So did Cassandra and Troy. Enjoy.
