GENRE:
Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Inside the glittering walls of a famous hotel, an ingénue experiences
first passion…
As she stands before the gilded doors of The Grand Russe Hotel, Alecia Loudon is poised on the threshold of a profound awakening. It is the Roaring Twenties, and London is buzzing with opportunities for adventure . . . and indiscretion. The young personal secretary knows nothing of the ways of men, but a chance meeting with the hotel’s handsome night watchman sets her imagination afire.
Ivan Salter has noticed the quiet Englishwoman and wonders what delicate beauty might be lurking behind Alecia’s plain clothes. As the handsome Russian draws Alecia further into the hotel’s luxurious world, he introduces her to fine food, cool jazz, and forbidden assignations. Their dalliance is tested, however, by a surprising link between Ivan’s family history and Alecia’s bosses. Tangled up in international intrigue, the lovers must decide if their sparkling new romance is worth the cost…

EXCERPT ONE:
When he was two feet from her, he stopped. His gaze
wandered the space, taking in the empty sofa, and, oddly enough, the carpet.
“What?” she demanded, very un-mouselike. She had
resolved to be as belligerent as a maiden aunt. “There isn’t a sign saying
hotel guests are not allowed back here.”
He cocked his head. She wilted when he sucked in
his cheeks, highlighting the magnificent structure of his cheekbones. No. He
may have every blessing God might offer a man, but he was only a night
watchman. She was just a secretary. Unless she was breaking a rule, he had no
right to intimidate her. She would not be cowed.
“Say something,”
she said very crisply, as if she was dressing down a young nephew.
His lips curved. She felt a sinking sensation in
her midsection.
How dare he look so knowing?
“Young ladies wandering about unchaperoned are
looking to be kissed.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Heather Hiestand was
born in Illinois but her family migrated west before she started school. Since
then she has claimed Washington State as home, except for a few years in
California. She wrote her first story at age seven and went on to major in
creative writing at the University of Washington. Her first published fiction
was a mystery short story, but since then it has been all about the many
flavors of romance. Heather’s first published romance short story was set in
the Victorian period and she continues to return, fascinated by the rapid
changes of the nineteenth century. The author of many novels, novellas and
short stories, she makes her home in a small town with her husband and son and
supposedly works out of her tiny office, though she mostly writes in her easy
chair in the living room.
