Introducing STEEL HAWK – a company of alpha-honorable heroes and spirited and
strong heroines…
Heart-pounding romantic suspense set in a
world of high-tech security, feuding royals, and missing diamonds. Strap in for
sizzling chemistry and fast-paced, thrilling action all the way!
It
all starts with an historical romantic suspense set
in the birthplace of great engineering and design, The Great Exhibition,
London, 1851:
It's one thing to lose your heart.
Quite another to have it stolen.
Years ago,
notorious jewel thief “The Raven” vanished into the shadows. In 1851, Nathan
Hawk emerges into a life of respectability, determined to make up for past
sins.
He and his
business partner are introducing a lock they’re so sure can’t be broken,
they’re displaying a priceless diamond, the Pasha Star, at the Great
Exhibition. It’s bad enough catching a light-fingered young man trying to steal
the stone. Worse when he realizes it’s the daughter of his old mentor.
Rose
Valetta’s father has been kidnapped, and she needs the Star to buy his freedom.
She never expected to come nose-to-nose with Nathan. Their reunion is fraught
with tension, especially when they discover the diamond in Nathan’s impregnable
case is not the Pasha Star.
With
Nathan’s reputation in tatters, they race to find the real stone before it’s
too late for Rose’s father. Too late to save the empire from a usurper. And too
late to keep from losing their hearts.
Product Warnings
Contains a woman who
dreams of a world with a level playing field, and an ex-thief who can run from
his past but can’t hide from it.
And
moves to present-day:
Steel Hawk has prospered for 150 years, securing some of the world’s most
treasured possessions. But now a secret from the past threatens to destroy the
company and a new generation must take up the fight.
Colleague, friend, lover…beautiful
liar?
Adam Steel
is in crisis mode. A recent exposé claims a founder of Steel Hawk was actually
The Raven, an infamous jewel thief. Amid the ensuing damage control, all eyes
are on his ability to develop a prototype to secure and protect the royal Pasha
Star diamond.
He’s further
blindsided when he learns his assistant, Honeysuckle Hawk, has a sordid past he
never knew about. Proving he never really knew her, never should have trusted
her, and definitely shouldn’t start falling for her.
With her
dirty laundry flapping in the media storm, Honeysuckle’s first instinct is to
run. Two things make her stay: Adam’s insistence it’s better to show the world
a united front, and her heart’s insistence by his side is where she belongs.
High
stakes and long hours ignite passion…until the diamond is stolen and Adam’s own
prototype shows Honeysuckle is a thief. Dare he trust her to help him expose
the real criminal—before the mastermind wreaks havoc on the royal family?
Product Warnings
Contains an über-hot,
alpha-geek who’s good with his hands, a sassy reformed-rebel determined to
prove she’s not a flake, romantic castles, gorgeous jewels, sleek and sexy technology,
heart-pounding suspense…oh, and nipple tassels!
But
with the battle only half-won, STEEL HAWK is about to
learn that trust has a price…
Blurb:
Dangerous Illusions, Steel Hawk, Book 3, by Sarah Balance – publishing August
Keep
your lovers close, your enemies closer. Especially if they’re one and the same.
With Steel Hawk still reeling from
explosions at Zarrenburg Castle and at its own headquarters, company lawyer
Edward Long’s legendary stoicism has been severely tested. It’s clearly an
inside job, and no one is deeper inside than Edward—which leaves him squarely
in the center of a frame.
Someone is using him to bring down the
company he loves. Worse, the PI that Adam Hawk sends to investigate…there’s
something off about her. And something that seriously turns him on.
Operating under an assumed name, Sophie
Hawk aims to dig deeper into the company’s systems than any other investigator
would dare. Especially with the prime suspect’s hot-chocolate gaze tracking her
every move.
As their dueling intellects strike sparks,
the rising heat threatens the trip wires Edward has set up around his heart—and
the secret that ties him to a man who’ll stop at nothing to claim his right to
rule the house of Zarrenburg. Or, if he can’t have it, destroy it—and everyone
connected to it.
Product Warnings
Contains agonizingly sweet
kisses, dirty thoughts, dirtier talk, mutual trust stretched to the limit, and
criminal abuse of a thousand-dollar suit jacket.

suspense with your mystery; then immerse yourself in the world of STEEL HAWK…
and let the seduction begin.
