About ‘Burning Embers’:
Coral Sinclair is a beautiful but naïve
twenty-five-year-old photographer who has just lost her father. She’s leaving
the life she’s known and traveling to Kenya to take ownership of her
inheritance – the plantation that was her childhood home – Mpingo. On the
voyage from England, Coral meets an enigmatic stranger to whom she has a
mystifying attraction. She sees him again days later on the beach near Mpingo,
but Coral’s childhood nanny tells her the man is not to be trusted. It is
rumored that Rafe de Monfort, owner of a neighboring plantation and a
nightclub, is a notorious womanizer having an affair with her stepmother, which
may have contributed to her father’s death.
Circumstance confirms Coral’s worst suspicions, but when
Rafe’s life is in danger she is driven to make peace. A tentative romance
blossoms amidst a meddling ex-fiancé, a jealous stepmother, a car accident, and
the dangerous wilderness of Africa. Is Rafe just toying with a young woman’s
affections? Is the notorious womanizer only after Coral’s inheritance? Or does
Rafe’s troubled past color his every move, making him more vulnerable than
Coral could ever imagine?
This book is available at Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

of Love is a passionate, heart-breaking romance to ignite the senses and

past ten years she has built a fortress around her heart, only to find the
walls tumbling down one night of the carnival when she is rescued from masked
assailants by an enigmatic stranger, Paolo Barone.

help being caught up in the smouldering passion that ignites between them.
When she finds herself assigned to a project at his
magnificent home deep in the Tuscan countryside, Venetia not only faces a
beautiful young rival but also a sinister count and dark forces in the shadows,

apart forever?

About ‘Indiscretion’:
of forbidden passion, savage beauty, and revenge.
Spring, 1950. Alexandra de Falla, a half-English, half-Spanish young writer
abandons her privileged but suffocating life in London and travels to Spain to
be reunited with her long-estranged family.
Instead of providing the sense of belonging she yearns for, the de Fallas are
driven by seething emotions, and in the grip of the wild customs and traditions
of Andalucia, all of which are alien to Alexandra.
Among the strange characters and sultry heat of this country, she meets the man
who awakens emotions she hardly knew existed. But their path is strewn with
obstacles: dangerous rivals, unpredictable events, and inevitable
indiscretions. What does Alexandra’s destiny hold for her in this flamboyant
land of drama and all-consuming passions, where blood is ritually poured on to
the sands of sun-drenched bullfighting arenas, mysterious gypsies are embroiled
in magic and revenge, and beautiful dark-eyed dancers hide their secrets behind
elegant lacy fans?
“Indiscretion” is a story of love and identity, and the clash of
ideals in the pursuit of happiness. But can love survive in a world where
scandal and danger are never far away?

About the Author:
Hannah Fielding is a novelist, adreamer, a traveller, a mother, a wife and an incurable romantic. The seeds for
her writing career were sown in early childhood, spent in Egypt, when she came
to an agreement with her governess Zula: for each fairy story Zula told, Hannah
would invent and relate one of her own. Years later – following a degree in
French literature, several years of travelling in Europe, falling in love with
an Englishman, the arrival of two beautiful children and a career in property
development – Hannah decided after so many years of yearning to write that the
time was now. Today, she lives the dream: she writes full time, splitting her
time between her homes in Kent, England, and the South of France, where she
dreams up romances overlooking breath-taking views of the Mediterranean.
Her first novel, Burning Embers, is a
vivid, evocative love story set against the backdrop of tempestuous and wild
Kenya of the 1970s, reviewed by one newspaper as ‘romance like Hollywood used
to make’. Her new novel, The Echoes of Love, is a story of passion, betrayal and
intrigue set in the romantic and mysterious city of Venice and the beautiful
landscape of Tuscany.
