Now Available: My Dearest Friend by Hazel Statham

Robert Blake, Duke of Lear, is a man of intense emotions who loves deeply and protects fiercely.
Devastated and wracked with guilt by the death of his younger brother, Stefan, in the Peninsular War, he readily agrees to aid Jane Chandler to bring her seriously wounded brother back from Portugal. Much against Jane’s wishes, he decides to accompany her and together they embark on the hazardous mission to retrieve the young soldier.  However, the journey holds many revelations, not least of all the abiding friendship and growing love between the two travelers.


That special love is put severely to the test by the treachery that awaits them upon their return to England, when a tenant of Jane’s former home invades their lives, maliciously creating jealousy and misunderstandings for his own nefarious reasons. Can their friendship and love conquer the emotions that threaten to tear them asunder or will the perpetrator emerge victorious? 

"My Dearest Friend is a passionate tale of the great love and trust that Jane and Robert discover that will last a lifetime if they can endure the treachery of others. Hazel Statham will keep you turning page after page as your experience the heart felt journey and struggles these two lovers face in the endeavours to find true happiness." ~ 4.5 Blue Ribbons, Romance Junkies

The reader cannot help but be caught up in their life. Ms. Statham blends all the right elements that breathe life into this well-written classic that I recommend." ~ 4 cups, Coffee Time Romance  

"My Dearest Friend is a magnificently well-written story of love and the obstacles that can come between two people when they fall in love.

Now Available: His Shadowed Heart by Hazel Statham

Can a shadowed heart be healed? Can love grow where least expected? The Earl of Waverly believes not. How wrong can he be!

After the death of his wife, the Earl of Waverly, believing his heart irreparably damaged, enters into a marriage of convenience. However, he is not prepared for the healing influence his new young bride has on his life.

Despite the couple’s new-found happiness, nefarious deeds abound and strange happenings are attributed to the ghost of his former wife. Will their love stand the test or will the perpetrator emerge the victor?

"I truly enjoyed this novel, set in the regency period and peopled by characters who soon sweep you up into their lives. The plot has twists and turns but what makes this book is, like others by this author, is the strong characterizations and the immaculate attention to dialogue and detail. She writes beautifully and creates people about whom you care very, very deeply. She is on my keeper shelf and I recommend her highly to the fans of the well-written regency in the traditional style." ~ 5 Stars, Susan Smith 

"This is the first Regency romance I've read, though I am a huge fan of historical fiction and historical romance novels. The rich details draw the reader right into the time period and through Statham's eloquent prose the reader discovers how much meaning can be found in a brief glance, a caress, a tender kiss to an upheld hand. "His Shadowed Heart" by Hazel Statham should be on every historical romance lovers wish list." ~ 5 Stars, Cheryl Malandrinos

"Hazel Statham’s His Shadowed Heart is a delicious Regency Romance. As in most Regency Romance, the handsome eligible bachelor marries for convenience. His wife is quiet and demure. They grow to love each other overcoming obstacles to form a lasting relationship. While the formula is the same, the plot is not diminished. The obvious attraction and emotional tension between Richard and Caroline is delightful. Fans of Regency Romance will enjoy His Shadowed Heart. " ~ Review Your Book.com

"HIS SHADOWED HEART by Hazel Statham is a richly detailed and well-written historical romance. The author’s language has an old-fashioned and formal feel that adds authenticity to the story and enhanced my enjoyment of the novel. The plot has plenty of interesting twists and turns and an intriguing mystery that kept me glued to my seat. Caroline and Richard share a wonderful connection. Their love is very strong. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Statham in the future." ~ 4 Blue Ribbons, Romance Junkies 

"This is a classic regency tale with appealing characters, love story with many twists and turns and a suspenseful mystery which endangers the couple. Richard and Caroline are wonderful characters who gradually learn to understand and appreciate as well as love each other. They seem to trust each other from the beginning despite the efforts of others to undermine that. The three villains of the piece are petty and selfish but only one is truly evil. The subplot of the vagrant that Caroline befriends is engrossing but sad. The characters are the best part of the story. Aside from the brooding earl and his shy but brave wife, Richard’s sister Victoria would like to be overbearing but loves her brother too much to really domineer, and her husband Lord Stanton who seems mild mannered until it really matters are both outstanding and well written. Once again Ms. Statham has written a memorable and entertaining story that is definitely a keeper." ~ The Romance Studio

Now Available: Leota - Dream Woman by Rita Karnopp

In 1855, the Great Spirit sends Leota, a psychic Blackfoot woman, on a mission to convince Chief Lame Bull not to sign a treaty. If she fails, the white man’s government will steal all that belongs to the Blackfeet Nation.

Lawyer Marsh Pepperhorn comes west to join his family and finds them murdered, except for his mouthy nephew Tanner, who’s bent on revenge. Chasing the killers into the Mountains of the Bear’s Paw, Montana Territory, their paths cross Leota’s.

Although Marsh and Leota distrust each other on sight, they work together to save an injured Tanner’s life. As they face hardships and challengers, an unlikely romance blossoms between them. When traders abduct Leota, Marsh must track them down and bring the men to justice or lose the woman he loves.

A sweeping tale of changing culture, survival, discovery, adventure, and romance – Leota - Dream Woman has it all.

"This is the story of the way the Native American Indian was betrayed by the white man and their own love of cheap whiskey. It is sad to know that a proud, spiritual race was brought low by the neglect and broken promises of people who had given their word. Karnopp writes with sensitivity and hope and a real understanding of what happened. Some of her writing is lyrical in its beauty and it touches the soul. I loved this book and give it five red roses." ~ Anne, Redrosesfor authors.reviews

The Garreth Mikaelian Detective Series

Can a vampire ever be truly destroyed? The question is of vital concern to former San Francisco Homicide Inspector Garreth Mikaelian. A year and a half ago an attack by vampire Lane Barber turned him into a vampire, too. When she attempted to kill him, in self-defense he killed her. At least he thought so...her neck broken, her body burned and buried under rose bushes. But to his dismay, word comes from his former partner of a recent murder with all the evidence pointing to Lane. Has she survived after all? He joins the hunt for her wondering...if she did indeed survive, what will it take to destroy her? Or will she destroy him? 

"A fine blend of mystery and the supernatural. Who says you can't do anything original with the vampire story?" -- S.F. Chronicle 

"This is a damn good vampire novel, but it's also a damn good police procedural." (Customer review on Amazon) 

"I found myself reading the final chapters slowly, only because I wasn't ready to say good-bye to Garreth Mikaelian just yet, who by the end of the book became someone I wanted to give a nice warm bowl of blood to." (OTcyborg on Amazon)
