Determined to help her father with his political career, Jocelyn sets aside dreams of love. When she meets the handsome and mysterious Grant Amesbury, her dreams of true love reawaken. But his secrets put her family in peril.
Grant goes undercover to capture conspirators avowed to murder the prime minister, but his only suspect is the father of a courageous lady who is growing increasingly hard to ignore. He can’t allow Jocelyn to distract him from the case, nor will he taint her with his war-darkened soul. She seems to see past the barriers surrounding his heart, which makes her all the more dangerous to his vow of remaining forever alone.
Jocelyn will do anything to clear her father’s name, even if that means working with Grant. Time is running out. The future of England hangs in the balance...and so does their love.
Donna Hatch is the author of the best-selling “Rogue Hearts Series,” and a winner of writing awards such as The Golden Quill and the International Digital Award. A hopeless romantic and adventurer at heart, she discovered her writing passion at the tender age of 8 and has been listening to those voices ever since. She has become a sought-after workshop presenter, and also juggles freelance editing, multiple volunteer positions, and most of all, her six children (seven, counting her husband). A native of Arizona who recently transplanted to the Pacific Northwest, she and her husband of over twenty five years are living proof that there really is a happily ever after.

1.
How long does it take you to write a book?
Each book is different. Some
books took years to plan, write, revise and edit. Others take a few months. My most recent book
took a total of almost a year because I had a lot of life changes—my daughter’s
wedding and a move to a new state, which cut into my writing time. Recently, I
quit my job to write full time so I should be able to write more quickly now and
put out books every year.
2.
What would you say is your interesting writing
quirk?
While I write, I like to listen
to harp or piano music, or even new age, but nothing with lyrics or a drum
beat—those are too distracting. Also, if I’m tackling a particularly hard
chapter, or struggling through edits, I like to nibble on Dove chocolate bites.
You know what they say about “A spoonful of sugar…”
3.
Where do you get your information or ideas for
your books?
For the first book in my current
series, The Stranger She Married, the
premise was loosely inspired by Phantom of the Opera, but kind of a with the
question “what if the phantom was a good guy who was just misunderstood?” The Guise of a Gentleman, book two, was
about a character in the first book who was a pirate, and when it came to
writing his story, he basically told me his story as we went along. Book 3, A Perfect Secret was inspired by the
Movie, Sleeping with the Enemy. And book 4, The
Suspect’s Daughter, was inspired by a true event called The Cato Street
Conspiracy. The inspiration for all my other published works came from a
variety of sources.

What was one of the most surprising things you
learned in creating your books?
It never fails to surprise me
how nerve-wracking it is to publish, and how much I always worry about whether my
newest book good enough. This is my 13th title, but that is still my
fear.
5.
What do you think makes a good story?
Unforgettable stories are about
unforgettable characters—complex characters who have real feelings and real problems
that aren’t easily solved, but who are courageous enough to stick to their
convictions and prevail no matter how difficult.
6.
What would you like my readers to know?
My Regency historical romance
novels and novellas have sizzling chemistry between the two main characters,
but never include love scenes, so they are appropriate for all romance readers.
