Taming the Hawk

Historical romance set in Victorian London

The path to happiness is fraught with many obstacles.  Not the least of which is the wayward heart.

Amee Ballantine hides in the shadows on Blackfriars Bridge. It is neither the time nor the place for a well brought-up young woman to be. Truth to tell, Amee has nowhere else to go. For hours she has been fleeing from her villainous guardian. Now cold, frightened, her money all gone, this is her last stand.

Then he arrives, The Hawk, with fury in his dark eyes and a terrifying proposition.

Anton Templeton had made a wager—to marry the first woman who crosses his path this night. The little whore lurking in the shadows of Blackfriars Bridge, no doubt waiting for her next customer, is perfect for his plan. Too much whisky and a volatile rage against his father’s dictate, that he wed before month’s end or lose his inheritance, plunges Anton into an scandalous alliance.

Can a marriage made under duress survive the enemies that lie in wait?

Luscious & Lethal
Contemporary romantic suspense

Dani Renaldo has faced many scary challenges during her career as a plus-size model. When bad things happened, she recalled the cynical advise her Aunt Mildred gave her. “The punters don’t care if your feet are sore or someone stole your rent money and you’re about to be thrown out on your ass, as for heartache…when it’s showtime you suck it up, honey, and keep smiling.”  Mildred was a once upon a time Las Vegas show girl so she knew what she was talking about.


Jancy’s Cove was to be Dani Renaldo’s haven, a place to heal and set up her new business after escaping an abusive marriage. Dani has travelled the world during her years as a plus-size model and faced many tough challenges. Her new home on the rocky shores of Jancy’s Cove is the perfect place to recuperate. Then, during a morning swim, someone on a Jet Ski tries to run her down, sinister figures prowl the night, and an arrogant ape of a neighbour sets her reluctant heart into a dervish whirl. Is her heart up to the challenge of a new relationship and her courage enough to face down a monster? One night of mayhem will answer that question.
