Lucky 88!
I have a book out August 18 (tomorrow as I write this) and that's always exciting. Doubly exciting is that it will be my 88th release. How I got here, I almost don't know. 20 years in this industry and I've been so lucky to get to produce books I'm so proud of and continue to find readers and friends through what I do.
The Matter of a Marquess is a reunion romance, it features a curvy heroine

“Good morning,” he drawled. She straightened her shoulders with the silent reminder that she had to be as distant as he was. “My lord.” He gave her an indulgent smirk. “As much as I like to be referred to as your lord, I think we’ve gone far beyond those empty platitudes. You have called me Ethan several times.” He hesitated and tapped his chin. “Actually you moaned it once. I prefer you call me that while we are alone together.”

“No!" he cried and his face pinched with frustration and pain. "I don't want to hear more reasons why we shouldn't be together. No more confessions to explain why you want to run away from what we share."
"Julian," she attempted to interrupt again, but he held up a trembling hand.
His dark gaze held hers. "I have moved heaven and earth to bring you back to me. I refuse to let you leave again. You are mine and you shall be mine for the rest of my life. Not as my mistress, but as my wife. And if you don't say yes, I shall be forced to drag you into Hyde Park and make love to you in plain view of everyone. Then you will have to accept my proposal in order to save your reputation." His face softened. "I love you, Cecilia.”

“Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It’s basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating.”

Just finished reading Earl's Choice. I was crying at the end - don't know why because it was a HEA. It was brilliant!

Oh thanks so much! I'm so glad you have liked the books (you know Samhain will have sales quite often, so they might be a great place to check for lower prices). I AM writing a book for Miles. It's actually, Pleasuring the Lady, the 2nd book in my new series, The Pleasure Wars. It comes out November 19. I don't think the librarians have put it up here on Goodreads yet, but it is up for pre-order on Amazon. :)
Thank you so much for the invite! :)I absolutely adoreed your writing (esp. An Introduction to Pleasure and I'm still drooling over Andrew) and wish I had more money to purchase all your other books :(
