RENEGADE Has Finally Found a Home!

I posted this news everywhere but my website. DUH, Becka, geez. LOL But my western romance, RENEGADE, has been bought by Champagne Books! This is one of my favorite westerns, even if it was passed over by a few other publishers first. This book has been looking for a home for almost a year and a half. And now it's found it.

RENEGADE will be released in August of 2011. Sounds like a long way off, but don't forget, you still have my Desert Princes to look forward to!

Here is the logline and the blurb for RENEGADE:

For the love of an outlaw, she'd risk her life to prove his innocence…

Ever since Olivia Hughes' husband demanded a divorce, her father, Judge Hardison Black, disowned her. She now lives above the laundry shop and supports herself. Despite the disapproving looks from the townsfolk, a new start is what Livie desperately needs.

Thomas Langston is an outlaw, wanted for a murder he didn't commit. He's convinced Judge Black took a bribe to send him to the gallows and he won't rest until he learns the truth. He kidnaps Livie to force the judge's hand, unaware her father could care less. Now Thomas is on the run with a woman and no idea how to clear his name.

Livie is Thomas's one hope for redemption. Before long, their mutual attraction flares into an all-consuming passion. But when Thomas gets caught, he's at the end of his rope. Can Livie set the record straight before he swings at the end of a hangman's noose?

Also, I'm working on another project currently entitled HEART OF A SCOUNDREL.  It's the sequel to IN YOUR ARMS, and the book I've been threatening to write for years for Lissa's shrewish younger sister, Shirley Bloom.  It's currently about halfway finished at 22K, and it's so. Much. Fun!!  I love writing sexy banter, and this one has it is spades.  It should be finished in no time!  I'll be sending this one off to Champagne's sister company, Carnal Passions, since it's erotic.  >:D
