Welcome!!!

My name is Tamara Hughes. I write out-of-the-ordinary historical romances (American set or pirate) and paranormal romances with unique supernatural elements. My books are fast-paced and action-packed, with lots of humor and romance.

I’m so excited! Courting Fire has won the Colonial Western Civil War category of the Romance Through the Ages contest! This Victorian romance was up against some tough competition. I love Pamela Gibson’s book Sweet Vengeance! I was also the editor for that book. This was a win-win!

I’m giving away my novella, A Beauty in Disguise, to all of my newsletter subscribers. To get your free copy, sign up for my newsletter here. In addition to getting this free book, every month in my newsletter, I’ll keep you informed of all my contests, news, and show recommendations (I’m a superfan of Asian dramas)!

Here’s a description of the story:

Even disguised as a boy, Cora Baker still struggles to earn enough money to survive on her own. It’s hard enough that she has to deal with unruly drunks at work, but now she’s been evicted from her apartment. Still grieving the loss of her family, she yearns for a ray of hope during this dark time in her life.

Jesse King lives alone, and he likes it that way. He doesn’t want anyone to depend on him—he fears he’s too much like his bastard of a father. When he finds a homeless lad sleeping in the hallway, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with him. Then he remembers the family who helped him and his mother when he was a boy and reluctantly offers the lad a place to stay.

When Jesse discovers Cora’s true identity, he’s conflicted. Despite their mutual attraction and his need to protect her, he resists the desire to deepen their relationship. Will Jesse face his fears or lose the woman who has filled his heart and his home?

If newsletters aren’t your thing, this book is also available for sale on Amazon.
