“At the sight of Queen Obadia, the air was driven from Nicholas’s lungs. It was as if Hercules himself had punched him in the gut. She’s beautiful! Nicholas fought for breath as he took in every feature of the royal figurehead who was now standing only a few paces from him. He knew there wasn’t a more exquisite creature on the face of the planet. Others around him were equally impressed.” Coming Of AgeHistorical FictionHistorical RomanceNew ZealandAotearoaAdventure NovelsMaorisMultiracial RomanceRomantic Liaisons Book:New Zealand Source: New Zealand
“Despite the fact that she was probably nearer forty than thirty, her radiance and beauty outshone that of the prettiest wahine. Statuesque, her golden skin was unblemished, and beneath the colourful cape that hung from her graceful shoulders her body was, in Nicholas’s opinion, perfection personified.” Coming Of AgeHistorical FictionHistorical RomanceNew ZealandAotearoaAdventure NovelsMultiracial RomanceTransit Of Venus Book:New Zealand Source: New Zealand
“High cheek bones gave Queen Obadia's face a rare and exotic beauty, but her most riveting feature was her almond eyes. Large and hypnotic, they roamed over the faces of the visitors seated before her, settling for one magical instant on Nicholas’s face. In that split-second he thought he saw something register in the queen’s eyes. Then it was gone as she turned her attention to others.” Coming Of AgeHistorical FictionHistorical RomanceNew ZealandTahitiAotearoaMaorisMultiracial RomanceTransit Of Venus Book:New Zealand Source: New Zealand
“The pull of the southern land was strong now. Stronger than ever. Almost as strong as the offshore currents that swept past Hawaiki, the South Pacific island nation hidden away in one of the world’s most isolated regions. Hotu had experienced this pull before, but never like today.” Historical FictionHistorical RomanceCannibalismAdventure NovelsMaorisMultiracial RomanceHawaikiIntertribal Warfare Book:New Zealand Source: New Zealand
“Ever since boyhood, he had dreamed of the mysterious place his ancestors had discovered far to the south centuries earlier. A direct descendant of the great Polynesian explorer Kupe, Hotu shared many of his famous forefather's traits. Like Kupe and, indeed, like most Hawaikans, he was a born sailor. He had that uncanny ability to safely cross huge tracts of ocean, using only the sun and stars as his compass.” HistoryDiscoveryHistorical FictionHistorical RomanceAdventure NovelsMultiracial RomanceAotearoa New ZealandNew Release 2025 Book:New Zealand Source: New Zealand
