Dreaming up heroes with depths with Hannah Fielding of The Andalucian Nights Trilogy + #Giveaway

Dreaming up heroes with depths


What better job can there be in the world, I thought as a young, aspiring writer, than dreaming up men who make one’s heart pound and knees melt? Now that I have published my Andalucían Nights trilogy featuring Salvador (Indiscretion) Leandro and Andres (Masquerade) and Ruy (Legacy), I have not changed my mind in the slightest – what men!

I love to create confident, masterful heroes, very much Alpha males. They are attractive, though not necessarily beautiful; theirs can be a rugged kind of appeal. They are invariably strong, perhaps even a little imposing to the heroine at the start. They look after themselves physically; I think that is important in a hero.

New Releases in Books for August 2017 & #Giveaway!!!

Goodness! I didn't realize so many great books were releasing this month! I'm looking forward to Last First Kiss by Sidney Halston. I enjoyed the first book in the Iron Clad Security and can't wait to see where this installment takes us! Shimmer and Burn by Mary Taranta looks to be a fabulous YA fantasy that is definitely on my wish list! Oh and the third book in the Reawakened  series by Colleen Houck! I hope Reunited goes the way I want it to, because the last book threw me for a loop! Of course J.R. Ward's Devil's Cut (The Bourbon Kings #3) is on my to-buy list. Which releases are you looking forward to the most this month?

*This list may be updated throughout the month.

Raoul Deverney, an enigmatic half-Spaniard with enough secrets to earn even a spy's respect, is at her door demanding help. She's the only one who can find the killer of his long-estranged wife and rescue her missing fourteen-year-old daughter.

Sèverine reluctantly agrees to aid him, even though she knows the growing attraction between them makes it more than unwise. Their desperate search for the girl unleashes treason and murder. . . and offers a last chance for two strong, wounded people to find love.

HE CAN TAKE THE HEAT.

Hot, hard-bodied Sixten Rapp is a former SEAL who’s raring to begin his brand-new civilian life. He and his Navy “brothers” start a security firm that offers the kind of services only a team of military-trained professionals can provide. But nothing prepared Six for his new client: an innocent woman on a mission to improve thousands of lives. . . unless someone takes hers first.

CAN SHE HANDLE THE FLAMES?

Dr. Louisa North knows time is against her as she tries to create a “miracle” medical treatment for a disease with no known cure, until she creates a sample so powerful that the wrong people want to use it as a chemical weapon. At first, Six is unwilling to accept Louisa as his client. But soon he realizes that the danger is real and that there’s much more to this plain-Jane scientist…including a burning passion between them that neither of them can resist. And now that an enemy is on Louisa’s trail, Six will do whatever it takes to protect her—or die trying.

Saving Mr. Perfect 
(Penelope Blue #2)
by Tamara Morgan
Paperback, 352 pages
Published August 1st 2017 by Sourcebooks Casablanca
ISBN 1492634697

I'm a wanted jewel thief.
He's FBI.
What's that saying? Keep your friends close...and your husband closer.

Being a retired jewel thief certainly has its perks.

1. Oh, wait.
2. No it doesn't.

Without the thrill of the chase, life's been pretty dull. I garden, I drive my gorgeous husband up the wall, and I watch as my old world slowly slips away. But what's that old saying? When one thief closes the door...a copycat jimmies open a window.

And now all fingers at the FBI are pointed at me.

Set up to take the fall for thefts worth millions, I have no choice but to strap on my heels and help my FBI agent husband track the thief. Grant might not think he needs a partner, but this is one case only a true professional can solve. Besides, I've got to know who's been taking my bad name in vain.

Let's just hope curiosity doesn't kill the cat burglar.
