Celebrate Diwali with One Night In New Delhi

 


Can't make it to India for Diwali?

Why not spend the night with Hannah and Sudesh in

ONE NIGHT IN NEW DELHI


Hannah Maguire and Sudesh Kumar had been lovers in Dublin City, both studying for their degrees in similar areas of Archaeology. What she had treated as a college romance, Hannah realized, as he was leaving Dublin for the job of a lifetime back home in India, was she had lost her heart to him.


Now, five years later, Hannah is working as an archivist in the National Museum in Dublin when she's invited to the National Museum of India in New Delhi to inspect a new and rare artefact found on an archaeological dig.


The last person she expects to see when she enters the museum is Sudesh. She didn’t know where he was, or even if he was still in India, but soon learns he's the one who made the discovery, and had been the one encouraging the museum to invite her onto the project.


On meeting, everything they'd shared washes over Hannah—all of the love and passion, and a heart so broken, she still hadn't recovered. To make things more difficult, it's Deepavali/Diwali and Sudesh has promises to make it a memorable experience.


Will this one night really be one to remember, or will Sudesh's secret send Hannah into a tailspin she might not recover from this time?

City Nights in Dublin and New Delhi


ONE NIGHT IN DUBLIN

At her mother’s prompting (nagging) about grandchildren, Sive wonders if it really is time to settle down. She’s just finishing college so she should be thinking about her future. But is she ready to settle down? Is she ready for kids? And more importantly, which of the three men she’s been seeing does she want to spend the rest of her life with? Sive has a choice to make, and only 24 hours in which to make it.
 

This was a quick read that had surprising depth as it was a journey of self-discovery for Sive. It was a story of empowerment and of not settling. Sive was a likable woman put through the wringer but who came out stronger because of it. Adrian was truly romantic in all his words and deeds and I'm still dreaming of his Adonis looks and kind heart. Their one night together was scorching after an initial meeting that crackled with sexual tension. Along with the strong personal connections was a loving tribute to Dublin itself through the vividly depicted scenery and colorful denizens that made you feel like you were there. All in all it was a story that fully immersed me in the action from the very first page to the last and its rocky and romantic journey to its satisfying conclusion well worth it. - J. Faltys, Amazon


ONE NIGHT IN NEW DELHI
Invited to the National Museum of India in New Delhi to inspect a rare find from a recent excavation, the last person Hannah Maguire expects to see is her former lover, Sudesh Kumar. Sparks instantly fly, but will her one night with him be one to remember or will Sudesh's secret send her into a tailspin she may never recover from this time?

The author does an amazing job of creating a setting so rich and vibrant in color, sight and smell, it gives the reader a real sense of being there in the marketplace with Hannah and Sudesh, touching the fabrics, eating the food and hearing the hustle and bustle of the people all around. - S. Bryant, Goodreads

Then check out my full page ad for my Jack Slaughter Thrillers!

How amazing does this look?

Thank you to Cora Graphics and model Rocco Benedetto for the amazing graphics.



A bit of an update:

Slaughtered is now being adapted for the big screen. It's such an amazing time seeing Jack move into the next stage of his life.



Witness to Slaughter took 2nd runner up in the recent RONE Awards hosted by InD'Tale Magazine.



Finally, Slaughterhouse is just about finished. We're aiming for a February 2022 release.
