Abandoned and left for dead by her boyfriend—correction ex-boyfriend—on a hiking trail in the Cederberg Mountains, Maia discovers a Unicorns exist, and they’re not even remotely what she’d expect of the mythical creatures.
They’re not the sparkly white horned horse with rainbow mane and tail she knew from her childhood.
They don’t poop rainbow sparkles.
Just because they look like horses, doesn’t mean they are horses; this one has a huge set of canines. And—at least the one that she met—can shift into a rugged mountain man, who is an absolute stallion in bed.
Marilize is an author of historical romance set in Cape Town, South Africa, but writes short stories inbetween for fun.
She used to comb the libraries and second-hand book sales for out-of-print copies of Afrikaans historical romance novels by authors such as Wille Martin and Ena Murray. She has always had a fascination for Cape Town history and Regency Romance, and thought to introduce the rest of the world to Regency-era Cape Town.
She's tried her hand at many different occupations, including working at a riding school as riding instructor, trail guide, stable manager, saddler, and horse handler on TV shows. She's worked as freelance typist, photographic assistant, maintenance contractor's assistant, Public Relations Consultant, and Administrative Assistant. These days she is a proud member of ROSA (Romance Writers' Organization of South Africa).
