Abducted. Seduced. Purring.

Laurel de Courcey is captured by terrorists, chained up in a disgusting bunker, and videoed for a ransom demand which is shown worldwide.

Ooops – wrong hostage! Who’d expect a shy Kiwi nanny to be worth anything?

Laurel’s soon tied up in Sheikh Rafiq’s bed instead, because he rescues her and appoints himself her personal bodyguard. Very personal. But she has good reason to distrust men.

Imprisoned in his old royal hunting lodge deep in the desert ‘for her own protection’, Laurel rebels. Spectacular fireworks, dangerous escape attempts, and an impossible love affair follow.

Warning: contains one red-hot Sheikh with a wicked tongue and unlimited stamina.

Five Short Romantic Reads is an anthology of short stories, all with romantic themes. All have already been magazine-published or broadcast, and most have been contest winners or finalists.

Meet Anthea and her handsome truckie, stuck in a traffic jam together…Luke with his unexpected holiday stopover guest…read how broken concrete paths brought Paul a second chance…how a twenty-dollar birthday gift led to sumptuous wedding dresses for Liz…and how twenty-five bananas nearly wrecked Jan’s chance of meeting Greg.

If it’s fine, Kris gardens. If it’s wet, she writes. And if the writing’s going well, the garden can look after itself…

Kris writes sizzling contemporary romances, and is the current membership secretary for Romance Writers of New Zealand. Her books are generally set at least partly in the capital city of Wellington so she can make use of the beautiful harbor in the plots.

She hopes you enjoy reading the titles so far available, and assures you there are more to follow.
