MASQUERADE
by Hannah Fielding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Haunted by this forbidden
love, she meets her new employer, the sophisticated Andres de Calderon.
Reserved yet darkly compelling, he is totally different to Leandro – but almost
the gypsy’s double. Both men stir unfamiliar and exciting feelings in Luz,
although mystery and danger surround them in ways she has still to discover.
Luz must decide what she
truly desires as glistening Cadiz, with its enigmatic moon and whispering
turquoise shores, seeps back into her blood. Why is she so drawn to the wild
and magical sea gypsies? What is behind the old fortune-teller’s sinister
warnings about ‘Gemini’? Through this maze of secrets and lies, will Luz
finally find her happiness … or her ruin?

EXCERPT:
For a moment they stared at each other. He was clearly a
gitano, one of those people that Luz’s family had always warned her to steer
clear of. The frayed, cut-down denims sat low on his hips, revealing deeply
tanned, muscular long legs, and his feet were bare as though he had just walked
straight from the beach. Unruly chestnut hair, bleached golden in parts by the
sun, tumbled to his shoulders; his smooth copper skin glowed more than that of
any gypsy she had ever seen. As she allowed her gaze to flick back to his face,
Luz caught the flash of amused, provocative arrogance in those bright, burning
eyes, mixed with something deeper that she didn’t understand. She swallowed.
The overwhelming masculinity of the gitano unsettled her. Luz lifted her chin
resolutely, but felt the pull of his magnetism reaching out and gripping her,
beguiling and dangerous, so that instinctively she nudged her mount and they
broke into a smooth canter. The thumping of her heart sounded loud in her ears.
She could sense his eyes on her, as a palpable touch, even as she rode away,
trembling, and the feeling remained with her until she knew she was out of
sight.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Hannah Fielding
is 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: writing full time at her homes in Kent, England, and the South of
France, where she dreams up romances overlooking breath-taking views of the
Mediterranean.
