Bigbooknut asked Cindy Dees:

Amazon and Goodreads (GR) show High-Stakes Bachelor (H-SB) as book 1 in the Prescott Bachelors series. GR shows High-Stakes Bodyguard as the series prequel. But I purchased High-Stakes Bodyguard today and inside it says that it is Book 1 of the series. So which is Book 1? And if H-SB is the prequel, then where does that leave High-Stakes Lover, which reads to me like it should be the prequel?

Cindy Dees You'd think the marketing folks would listen to authors when we try to explain these things, wouldn't you? Okay, lemme see if I can get it right. The confusion stems from the fact that I originally sold High Stakes Bodyguard to another publisher, but for various reasons, we didn't publish that story, and I self published it. At the time I self-published it, it was the first Prescott Bachelors book. But then, Harlequin agreed to publish two more Prescott books, and they called the first one they got "Book Number 1". In chronological order, High Stakes Bachelor comes first. Then High Stakes Bodyguard, and last, High Stakes Playboy. I do try to write all my books so they'll stand alone, of course. Hope that clears it up!
