New Covers!
Stefanie at Seventhart Designs is reimagining my book covers. A Lady's Pleasure (OMG, you have to see her masterpiece!), Awaken, My Love and Scandalous Lovers are completed and are now uploaded here at Goodreads. The Lady's Tutor and The Widow and The Eunuch is coming up. I'm so exited! I think the new covers are absolutely beautiful. Paperback covers are coming for each of the books. Plus I have more exiting news to share in the future! Shall I say ... audio? Please stay tuned for more updates.

THE WIDOW AND THE EUNUCH
Sorry I haven't posted in - forever. I've been hard at work, I promise. But one book at a time ...
THE WIDOW AND THE EUNUCH is NOW AVAILABLE! I gained rights back to my novella "A Man and A Woman," first published in the FASCINATED anthology with B. Small, S. Johnson, T. Devine and of course, moi. But when I started formatting it for republication, I was dismayed that Megan came across more like a sex-starved widow then the tragically lonely woman she is.
So, of course I had to flesh out her story to do her justice.
I am very happy to announce that the results are now out! Megan's background had been alluded to in the original version, now she is fully fleshed out and she broke my heart.
Muhamed was first introduced in THE LADY'S TUTOR as Ramiel's body guard/major domo. The countess challenged him to find a woman to take comfort in. This is Muhamed's story.
THE WIDOW AND THE EUNUCH is a profoundly moving exploration of what makes a 53-year-old eunuch “a man” and a barren 48-year-old widow “a woman,” and reaffirms that love truly makes us more than the labels with which society brands us.
AUTHOR’S NOTES: THE WIDOW AND THE EUNUCH is a passionate, intense story about castration and it’s life-long effects on a man’s sexuality and self-esteem. Megan and Muhamed's story is raw and erotic and painful, but it is also cathartic and healing.
Check it out and let me know what you think of my two lovers! THE WIDOW AND THE EUNUCH

AUTHOR'S EDITION OF THE LOVER...
The AUTHOR'S EDITION of THE LOVER is LIVE! The Lover is free to read if you have Kindle Unlimited. The Author's Edition of THE LOVER is available in both eBook and trade paperback.
No doubt you are asking: how is the Author's Editions of The Lover and Gabriel's Woman different from the originals? And of course, being the conscientious author that I am, I have prepared a chart for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE AUTHOR EDITIONS OF THE LOVER & GABRIEL'S WOMAN
• The stories remain unchanged. The heat is still sizzling. I almost had to take a cold shower!
• I corrected—especially Gabriel's Woman, which was pushed through the editorial process with very little editing when it was originally published—the many grammatical and stylistic mistakes. While I did flesh out a few scenes, I concentrated on making the stories more readable while retaining the sexual intensity, the mystery and the constant threat of death. And, of course, keeping not only the chemistry but also the complex relationship between not only Michael and Anne—and Gabriel and Victoria—but also between Michael and Gabriel.
• The language Michael and Gabriel use is a bite rougher. (Haha. Word play there, bite instead of bit. Bite being a French word for penis ... yeah, yeah, my humor is questionable, which is why I don't write romantic comedy.) Let's face it, Michael and Gabriel survived in a world dominated by sex. No "manhoods" will be found in the new editions.
• The French is cleaned up, again, especially in Gabriel's Woman.

Scandalous Lovers has a New Cover!
While I loved the Scandalous Lovers' cover of the girl running through the wheat field, I thought I would adult the cover as well as add some historical details. So . . .
Naked couple. Check.
Victorian wallpaper overlay. Check.
Victorian wallpaper for text on The Men and Woman's Club. Check.
I love the textures and colors and the naked yearning between the man and woman as they come together. Hope you like the new cover, too!

Before SUFFRAGETTE there were SCANDALOUS LOVERS ...
I am so very, very happy to bring you the eBook version of Scandalous Lovers: A Novel of Erotic Love and Victorian Law (originally published in 2007 in trade paperback as simply, Scandalous Lovers). This book has always been near and dear to my heart. I like to think of it as my BEFORE Suffragette book, as much of the ground work laid for women's liberation started way before the the political movement to allow women to vote in the early 20th century. Because before gaining the right to vote, women had to gain control over their sexuality ...I hope you like the new cover. I envisioned a cover that was more representational of the whole. While it is erotic, it also covers Victorian laws governing ... and imprisoning ... women in 1887 England as well as a very important but little known group of men and women who made headlines in major London newspapers c1885-1889: the Men and Women's Club. There has never been another group of men and women throughout history who met strictly to discuss sexology and break down the moral and social barriers separating the two genders. Imagine: before Suffragette, these men and women fought for equality between the sexes.
I hope you enjoy Scandalous Lovers: A Novel of Erotic Love and Victorian Law! It is available at https://www.amazon.com/Scandalous-Lov...
