READ THE BLURB
To escape a deadly stalker, Caitlin Fitzgerald flees her home in Ireland and takes a governess job in the top end of Australia. In her chosen safe haven, she has poisonous snakes, spiders, and crocodiles to contend with. And the very handsome and moody station owner, Jake Monterey, to keep her awake at night. But not only is Caitlin at risk of losing her heart to Jake and his two adorable children, the danger she thought she’d left behind has found her again. Has she unwittingly placed the lives of those she loves in jeopardy?
READ THE REVIEW
With Murderous Intent is a story with a strong heroine, a mysterious, emotionally wounded, sexy hero and peril around every corner.Caitlin travels far from her home to work as a nanny in Australia, hoping this will keep her safe. Little does she know she trades one danger – a crazy ex – for others: venomous snakes, crocodiles and more. She spends much of the beginning of the story learning how to survive in the Australian outback.
The children are sweet and engaging, the hero (their father) starts out aloof and disconnected, but she slowly changes that and really, though this is marked as a suspense novel, its focus is really on the romance and characters.
For a touching romance with a touch of terror, I can recommend With Murderous Intent.
Maggi
Andersen and her lawyer husband are empty nesters, living in the countryside
outside Sydney with their cat and the demanding wildlife. Parrots demand seed,
possums fruit, ducks swim in the stream at the bottom of the garden, and the
neighbors chickens roam their yard providing wonderful eggs. She began writing
adventure stories at age eight. Three children, a Bachelor of Arts degree and a
Master of Arts in Creative Writing degree later, her novels are still filled
with adventure and suspense, but are also passionate romances. Georgette Heyer
among others, brought inspiration to her seductive Regencies and she also
writes darker, Victorian novels, contemporary romantic suspense and young
adult.
She supports
the RSPCA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals) and
animals often feature in her books.

We do have some of the deadliest creatures on the planet here, but it's such an incredibly beautiful country. A fabulous setting for a story.
