The Man Who Loved Too Much
Walk the Streets of:
Paris!
New Orleans' French Quarter
Long Beach, California
Seattle's Broadmoor District
Don Antonio Bridge, handsome, intelligent, ambitious – and devious.
Behind every troubled lover is a wicked past. Photographer Don Bridge is no exception.
From the abusive childhood he is hellbent to put behind him, through his three marriages and a string of flirts and flings, Don Bridge searches for the love his parents never gave him.
Bridge is a self-centered playboy, a passionate lover who calculates his gains – a gigolo even, some people would accuse.
He is witty, styled, ambitious, and the life of the party. But Bridge is also as secretive as he is seductive.
His exciting and storied life takes him from Long Beach, California to the streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter into Seattle’s society circles, and on to the passions of Paris.
!! You’ve caught his attention! There’s something about you that Bridge finds attractive.
However, if you’re paying attention, you realize there’s something about Don Bridge that isn’t quite right.
Red flags fly, but you really don’t care.
You want the fantasy to turn out to be real – this time.
But who’s playing whom?

Emily Hill’s latest novel takes the reader on a global expedition of love, passion and romance as travel photographer Don Antonio Bridge sweeps a series of women off their feet and uses them to his own selfish ends. Here is a well-crafted portrait of a man who sincerely wants to love and be loved, but whose past abuse and lack of empathy for anyone but himself leads to a kaleidoscopic web of deception and pain. The locales include New Orleans, Paris and Seattle, perfect settings for seduction. The reader will find themselves swept up in a dizzying journey of pulse-pounding romance and shattering realities, a trip well worth taking.
5-Star Reviews for the author: “Author Emily Hill is much more than a writer; she's a born storyteller." “Emily Hill succeeds in [Jenkins] with a wondrous tale…” “This is a real page turner.” “The author writes with an individual style that will appeal to many readers.”
