The Star – Tahira Iqbal

The Star – Tahira Iqbal

I put a lot of thought into the type of hero that I wanted when I started to research The Star. He had to have lightening sharp reflexes, a command of steel and a presence so sure that you were instantly comforted or terrified. Luckily in this case, it’s the former. So if I knew this guy could take care of a billion dollar jet, I knew that Estella was going to be in good hands. I shiver as the…

The Handler

The Handler

Whenever I write, there is always a serious element of jeopardy running through it. I think there’s something very potent and sexy about mixing romance and thrillers together. In The Handler, you’re in the middle of the danger zone. Allegra has to deal with a threat against her life from The Hunters, who’ll happily kill her either as a wolf or as a human.  So, when her regular Handler is injured, she’s thrust into the care of Olivia. And the…
