Every so often I need to think about action, adventure or something slightly different. Don’t get me wrong. I love my Morgan and Princes and billionaires, but sometimes the thirst for adventure calls. so This series makes me write in a fun manner. All the reviews posting already are talking about the fast pace and excitement in the story which just makes me happy as they ‘get it.’
So basically I was like ‘what would the son of the Count of Monte Cristo’ be like (as that was the inspiration for Hidden Michael.) Then I just decided well he’d be like Indiana Jones only set in the modern times. So I had to look up jewelry. I had to look up missing jewels from the 20th century and then I needed to put these two characters on a non stop chase. And I don’t know if you read the Davinci Code as it’s not romance, but it was one of my favorite non romance books that had me glued. So I channeled my own call for adventure and just wrote this fun, flirty and action story. But I kept it contemporary romance. And Dane has friends in his Harvard professors looking for hidden treasures so I’m absolutely going to channel that and write another soon… I have to. Because I don’t know about you but once in a while I just need to watch and read something with more action. So I hope you enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What inspired the Hidden Dane book and its treasure hunting plot?
Hidden Dane was inspired by a mix of sources. The main character Dane was conceived as a modern Indiana Jones-style adventurer, while the broader series drew inspiration from The Count of Monte Cristo. The author also researched real missing jewels from the 20th century, specifically the Irish Crown Jewels, and channeled the page-turning energy of The Da Vinci Code to craft the fast-paced romantic suspense story.
How does Hidden Dane compare to The Da Vinci Code for readers who enjoy action-driven stories?
Hidden Dane shares The Da Vinci Code’s fast-paced, non-stop chase structure but is written as a contemporary romance. While The Da Vinci Code is pure thriller, Hidden Dane blends action and adventure with a love story between two characters hunting the Irish Crown Jewels. Readers who enjoyed The Da Vinci Code’s puzzle-solving momentum but also want romance are likely to enjoy Hidden Dane.
What is the central conflict in Hidden Dane?
In Hidden Dane, professor Dane Pearce abandoned his high school sweetheart Emily Mira a decade ago, leaving her with a key as a symbol of his love. Ten years later, armed men hunt Emily because that key unlocks an ancient treasure — the Irish Crown Jewels. After Dane rescues her, Emily refuses to simply hand over the key and instead demands to join the search as his partner.
