MASQUERADE LEADS READERS INTO SECRETS, DECEPTION, AND DESIRE

Hannah Fielding will be awarding a $15 gift card for Amazon or Barnes and Noble. 

MASQUERADE Blurb:

Summer, 1976. Luz de Rueda returns to her beloved Spain and takes a job as the biographer of

a famous artist. On her first day back in Cadiz, she encounters a bewitching, passionate young

gypsy, Leandro, who immediately captures her heart, even though relationships with his kind

are taboo.

Haunted by this forbidden love, she meets her new employer, the sophisticated Andres de

Calderon. Reserved yet darkly compelling, he is totally different to Leandro – but almost the

gypsy’s double. Both men stir unfamiliar and exciting feelings in Luz, although mystery and

danger surround them in ways she has still to discover.

Luz must decide what she truly desires as glistening Cadiz, with its enigmatic moon and

whispering turquoise shores, seeps back into her blood. Why is she so drawn to the wild and

magical sea gypsies? What is behind the old fortune-teller’s sinister warnings about ‘Gemini’?

Through this maze of secrets and lies, will Luz finally find her happiness … or her ruin?

MASQUERADE Excerpt:

For a moment they stared at each other. He was clearly a gitano, one of those people that Luz’s

family had always warned her to steer clear of. The frayed, cut-down denims sat low on his hips, revealing deeply tanned, muscular long legs, and his feet were bare as though he had just

walked straight from the beach. Unruly chestnut hair, bleached golden in parts by the sun,

tumbled to his shoulders; his smooth copper skin glowed more than that of any gypsy she had

ever seen. As she allowed her gaze to flick back to his face, Luz caught the flash of amused,

provocative arrogance in those bright, burning eyes, mixed with something deeper that she

didn’t understand. She swallowed. The overwhelming masculinity of the gitano unsettled her.

Luz lifted her chin resolutely, but felt the pull of his magnetism reaching out and gripping her,

beguiling and dangerous, so that instinctively she nudged her mount and they broke into a

smooth canter. The thumping of her heart sounded loud in her ears. She could sense his eyes

on her, as a palpable touch, even as she rode away, trembling, and the feeling remained with

her until she knew she was out of sight.

Author Hannah Fielding

Hannah Fielding is an incurable romantic. The seeds for her writing career were sown in early

childhood, spent in Egypt, when she came to an agreement with her governess Zula: for each

fairy story Zula told, Hannah would invent and relate one of her own. Years later – following a

degree in French literature, several years of travelling in Europe, falling in love with an

Englishman, the arrival of two beautiful children and a career in property development – Hannah decided after so many years of yearning to write that the time was now. Today, she lives the dream: writing full time at her homes in Kent, England, and the South of France, where she dreams up romances overlooking breath-taking views of the Mediterranean.

Life of the Toureio Equestre and Rejoneo by Bianca Swan

Spanish Rojoneo and horse in Capriole

The art of bullfighting on horseback, as currently practiced in Portugal where it is called toureio equestre, and in Spain and Mexico where it is called rejoneo, claims a direct origin to the Iberian Peninsula, having developed from Middle Ages war exercises, particularly the cavalry.

Coridas mixtas are also popular, where a rejoneador and two matadores (or a rejoneador, matador and novillero - the last of which is an apprentice matador) perform.

During a performance, rejoneadores often ride several horses. Bullfighting horses are highly trained to swerve instantly, yet remain calm when charged by a fierce, angry bull. They must possess an extreme bravura, agility, and obedience. The rejoneador often rides with his reins bound at the horse’s neck, working completely off his seat and legs.

A rejoneador's usual costume consists of a dark waistcoat (usually brown or grey), brown leather chaps and a broad, straight-brimmed hat.

   In Hot Spanish Nights, the hero is a famous dressage rider and a rejoneador, the mounted bullfighter. Damian is the son and heir to a sherry empire as well, and the Xeres are well-known for their fine Andalusian horses. Besides being talented for high school dressage, the Andalusian is renowned as the bullfighting horse of Spain.


Erica DeLongpre ventures to Spain in search of the perfect Andalusian stallion—and finds a two-legged stud much to her liking. In Damian’s arms, Erica finds her own sexuality and redefines herself—a self she thought she’d never meet.

Blurb:  Southern vixen Erica DeLongpre journeys to Spain to find the horse of her dreams, never expecting to find a man capable of stirring her sexual awareness. Damián Xeres, a renowned bullfighter is deliciously skilled on a horse–and in bed. But a woman from Damian’s past rattles Erica’s confidence and threatens the very essence of her trip. With Lucia waiting for the slightest chink in her armor, Erica can’t help wonder what lies ahead in those HOT SPANISH NIGHTS.


PG Excerpt:

Erica DeLongpre was living her fantasy.
At last, she was in Spain, in Andalusia.
And in lust.

She and tall, dark and handsome Damián Xérès rode the magnificent gray stallion bareback. This enticing man smelled of horses and leather, and he was all man, from the top of his head to the tips of his shiny riding boots—an enchanting journey of about six feet-two-inches. The horse’s silvery mane whipped in the breeze. Flowers spilled their scent into the morning. The sun on the white sand of the riding arena was blinding, like a dream.


She closed her eyes, pictured the man behind her. His brilliant white shirt, open at the neck, showed a sprinkling of dark hair on his chest. She leaned back pretending the strong arm lightly circling her waist hugged her tight against that muscled chest. As she rocked with the cadence of the horse’s canter, she imagined Damián’s firm, hot shaft pressed to her butt. When she visualized how his erection would look in the tight riding breeches, a pleasant shiver glided over her.

Mustn’t let my imagination run away like this.

“Sit deep,” he said, and her fantasy became a reality as he slid closer.

His long legs molded to hers, stroked ever so slightly to the three-beat thud of hooves. Sweat broke on her brow. Her heart pounded in her ears, reverberating in her core. She should inch away from the hard pressure on her ass, but he felt too damned good. Images of turning around and doing him on the horse scrolled through her mind. She lost the rhythm of the stallion’s smooth gait and slid to the side.

Damián’s arm closed around her waist, steadying her. “We must work on your seat, Erica. You look beautiful on a horse, but you must become one with him.”

Thinking of becoming one with him—the man not the horse—caused the problem.

4 Cup Review from Coffee Time Romance:Bianca Swan gives her readers a feverishly fierce erotic romance. Damián is a strong and skilled hero who stole my heart with his dedication to his family and his animals. When he confesses his scholarly delectation, I believe he became the perfect man. … I highly recommend it (HOT SPANISH NIGHTS) to heat up a cold winter night.
