Falcon's Prey

Englishwoman Felicia Gordon should be floating on air. After all, she's engaged to a man who is kind, charming, considerate. But he doesn't inspire the least amount of passion in her blood.

It isn't until Felicia meets her fianc�'s family that she finds the missing electricity - in her fianc�'s uncle, Sheikh Raschid al Hamid al Sabah. Raschid is hardly the 'uncle' she imagined - tall, powerful and shockingly arrogant. But beneath Raschid's contempt is a burning passion, a fire Felicia never knew she craved...until now.

Then Petra makes a shocking discovery. Blaize is actually none other than the man she's supposed to be marrying - Sheikh Rashid!

Penelope Jones Halsall
aka Caroline Courtney, Annie Groves, Lydia Hitchcock, Melinda Wright

Penelope "Penny" Jones was born on November 24, 1946 at about seven pounds in a nursing home in Preston, Lancashire, England. She was the first child of Anthony Winn Jones, an engineer, who died at 85, and his wife Margaret Louise Groves Jones. She has a brother, Anthony, and a sister, Prudence "Pru".

She had been a keen reader from the childhood - her mother used to leave her in the children's section of their local library whilst she changed her father's library books. She was a storyteller long before she began to write romantic fiction. At the age of eight, she was creating serialized bedtime stories, featuring make-believe adventures, for her younger sister Prue, who was always the heroine. At eleven, she fell in love with Mills & Boon, and with their heroes. In those days the books could only be obtained via private lending libraries, and she quickly became a devoted fan; she was thrilled to bits when the books went on full sale in shops and she could have them for keeps.

Penny left grammar school in Rochdale with O-Levels in English Language, English Literature and Geography. She first discovered Mills & Boon books, via a girl she worked with. She married Steve Halsall, an accountant and a "lovely man", who smoked and drank too heavily, and suffered oral cancer with bravery and dignity. Her husband bought her the small electric typewriter on which she typed her first novels, at a time when he could ill afford it. He died at the beginning of 21st century.

She earned a living as a writer since the 1970s when, as a shorthand typist, she entered a competition run by the Romantic Novelists' Association. Although she didn't win, Penny found an agent who was looking for a new Georgette Heyer. She published four regency novels as Caroline Courtney, before changing her nom de plume to Melinda Wright for three air-hostess romps and then she wrote two thrillers as Lydia Hitchcock. Soon after that, Mills and Boon accepted her first novel for them, Falcon's Prey as Penny Jordan. However, for her more historical romance novels, she adopted her mother's maiden-name to become Annie Groves. Almost 70 of her 167 Mills and Boon novels have been sold worldwide.

Penny Halsall lived in a neo-Georgian house in Nantwich, Cheshire, with her Alsatian Sheba and cat Posh. She worked from home, in her kitchen, surrounded by her pets, and welcomed interruptions from her friends and family.

Three sultry, exotic romances from Jordan.
Lavish romps through deserts all with dashing sheikhs trying to woo and win their women in true Mills and Boon style.
Intrigue, mistaken identity, denial of feelings and of course the requisite happy endings.
All ingredients for a bit of fun escapism.

the stories are ok... not that good...it took me so long to read these bcoz it didnt catch my attention and didnt make me feel like I had to complete it soon or what is going to happen next. the heroines are pretty whiny and weak... and the men too domineering... i mean why would u want to be with someone who thinks u are a gold digger? serly, far from reality... falcons prey which was her first book... promised intrigue but sadly didnt live upto the expectation... the other two didnt either. Ms Penny Jordan has written much better books than these three stories... they are not upto her stds. But, saying this... I still adore her books and love her storytelling.
