New Release

Coming in September!

A Man Shattered
Marcus Clayton, Earl of Norbourne, has it all – power, wealth, respect, the freedom of bachelorhood, a woman’s companionship. Then in the space of seconds, his world is shattered and a life is lost. Blaming himself for the tragedy, he adopts the Stoic credo as his new way of life and vows to never again allow a woman to rule his passions.

A Woman Shaken
Miss Christel Fitzwilliam lives life with passion despite her simple life. Her father dotes on her, and her mother despises her because of it. After Christel’s father dies, the very foundation of her life is shaken. Christel’s mother spurns her, and over the years, the scathing words wear down her resolve, causing Christel to question her own chance at ever finding happiness.

A Goal Shared
When Christel learns of her mother’s plan to trap Marcus into an unwanted marriage with her younger sister, Christel vows to save the earl from a fate he doesn’t deserve. Marcus appreciates her concern, but having renounced all passion, is confident he can defeat the plan on his own. A determined and passionate Christel sets out to help him.

But in trying to save the earl, will her own passion be her undoing?

Reviews!

"Declan is a good solid story. The characters are well thought out and interact together extremely well. Finn is hiding her real personality behind a tough persona that doesn’t allow anyone to get close. Declan has a huge heart with love that won’t quit. He sees the good in everyone. Both have dreams and have had dreams dashed...the story is a joy to read."

"From page one, Madelyn Hill has given a fantastic highland romance that promises to take readers into the wilderness of the highlands and have them falling in love with the description of the surroundings and the array of characters. The sizzling tension between Lady Honor and Bryce turns this book into a real page turner. The dialogue, surroundings, and descriptions are spot-on for the time period. Highland romance fans will love this book! A great addition to the series." InD'tale Magazine

Betrayal, accusations, kidnapping, secrets, danger, revenge and other challenges face both the reader and the characters in this book. I loved even the supporting cast, and hated the ones I was supposed to hate. This book doesn’t slow down and there are laugh out loud moments and times you will be reading as fast as you can to get to the next page. Highly recommended. Reviewed by Cyrene at Uncaged Books

Will read more from Smallwood!

"I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful tale and highly recommend it to all who enjoy a true regency romance. This is a story that I'll be reading again." The Reading Lady

"What do you get when aspects of a number of well known fairy tales mix it up with a Georgian period romance? You get an entertaining read entitled The Perfect Duke." Amazon Review

A real treat! --Cheryl Bolen, NY Times Bestselling Author

A hero who is not what he seems, a heroine who sees all that he is, and a love that defies all. A story full of heartache, tension, and of course love. --Bronwen Evans, USA Today Bestselling Author

Ms. Hill spins her magic to make this a wonderful happily ever after - Best Selling Author Elizabeth St. Michel

 

"There is some mystery, and layers of deceit, and a heap of romance. The characters are well developed, and the author did a good job giving strength to Hope,but also giving her vulnerability and heart to keep her believable and likable."

4 STARS Uncaged Reviews

Darling doesn't disappoint . . . Absolutely an author to watch." - USA Today Happy Ever After
 
"If True Lies and Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a cousin it would be Darling's sizzling spy thriller. Darling invigorates the classic lessons-in-love trope with delightful characters, plenty of intrigue, suspense and heated sexuality that may have some readers turning on the air conditioner!" - RT Book Reviews


"This story of intrigue and second chances will have you turning the pages quickly until the end. For a first book from this author, there is a lot of promise for books to come and I personally cannot wait!"- Night Owl Reviews
