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.
To date, Hannah has published four passionate, evocative novels: Burning Embers, a ‘romance like Hollywood used to make’, set in Kenya; the award-winning Echoes of Love, ‘an epic love story that is beautifully told’, set in Italy; and books 1 and 2 of the Andalusian Nights trilogy, set in sultry Spain, entitled Indiscretion and Masquerade. She is currently working on her fifth book, Legacy, which will publish this spring.

Hannah has very kindly sent me an excerpt of her novel Burning Embers to share with you:
They stood close to
each other, almost touching. His hand reached out and, with infinite tenderness,
covered the slender fingers clenching the rail. A pleasant warmth flooded her.
She was afraid to move in case she disturbed that initial, yet powerful,
contact. For a fleeting moment, in this wan light and because he spoke gently,
her wounded heart yielded to this stranger’s soothing voice.
The sky was slowly
clearing on the horizon. The black cloak of night began to lift, lazily giving
way to a monochromatic dawn of decreasing hues, from indigo to steel blue. The
first rays of the African sun broke through in the distance, a sallow slip of
color outlining the eastern horizon. Coral felt the stranger looking at her,
and heat suddenly rose in her cheeks.
Their eyes locked. She
shuddered and pulled his jacket closer around her shoulders. As his gaze dropped
to her soft, full lips, he flushed under his deep tan, then suddenly seemed to
check himself and turned away. Coral, whose head and heart were throbbing,
stood there silently, staring up at him with a mixture of curiosity and
wonderment. The sensation she was experiencing was totally new to her. It was
as if an unspoken affinity had been discovered and a connection established all
in a single moment.
