She's a reclusive countess considering marriage to a former bad boy. He's a senator with a dark past, ready to enjoy his golden years in peace. When blackmail threatens to expose his secrets, can their love withstand the storm?
San Francisco 1870: High society widow Elizabeth Westerhoven is amazed to find herself seriously considering marriage to a life-long acquaintance, Hector de Vile, a former bad boy pirate trader, now a powerful Senator. Reclusive, charitable and wise, she's tempted to re-enter society after years of preferring seclusion.
Ruthlessly ambitious Senator Hector de Vile, his darkest secrets buried in the past, is looking forward to introducing Elizabeth, a woman he's long admired from afar, as his wife in Washington power circles.
But when a social climbing blackmailer threatens to reveal a close family secret and demands marriage as the price of her silence, Hector is faced with an impossible choice. Risk exposure and blow his recently reconciled family apart? Or publicly humiliate Elizabeth by marrying his courtesan blackmailer, sacrificing any hope of later-in-life love?
Can their odd couple romance survive the onslaught of secrets and lies, or will a combination of her trust and his cunning steer them to a safe haven?
Dangerous Desires is the riveting conclusion to the Of Gold & Blood historical mystery series. If you like conflicted heroes, shocking twists, and the atmospheric intrigue of Old California, then you'll love Jenny Wheeler's suspenseful tale of a man haunted by his past.

Dangerous Desires can be read as a stand alone novel,,or as part of the series.
Nearly twenty years after the 1849 Gold Rush brought thousands upon thousands of (mainly) men into California on the greatest adventure of their lives, the energy, the thirst for excitement remained, but the rough frontier had become a maritime colony; "urban, cosmopolitan, and resembling nothing else in the Far West," (Kevin Starr, Americans and the California Dream, 1850 1915. Oxford University Press.) A place where women had the chance to pursue their dreams with more freedom than (arguably) anywhere else in the civilized world.
Jenny loves the stories that came to be spun from the region that was "the cutting edge of the American dream," (Kevin Starr again) and she's busily creating those stories with as much passion as those '49ers chased after gold nuggets!
