It doesn't specify anywhere, but I think Rochelle Wayne is a pseudonym for Robin Gideon. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

Coincidences(?):
Both authors were Zebra romance authors
Both heroine's have the same name
Both titles are the same
Robin Gideon's book is conveniently not on www.fictiondb.com, even though she's a well known author

Surrender to Ecstasy by Robin Gideon
Amazon.com description:
As one of the few professional businesswomen in London in 1894, Amelia Rasmussen holds herself and all those around her to rigid standards...so she never dreamed that a chance encounter with voyeurism would unlock the inhibitions surrounding her heart, and her passions....


Surrender to Ecstasy by Rochelle Wayne
"I want to love you, not hurt you," the stranger softly murmured into Amelia's delicate ear. From that moment on all the golden-haired beauty could think about was the pleasure he brought her when he sneaked into her bed, showing her the ecstasy that could be found in a kiss and completely arousing her desire. If only she could see his face! If only she knew his name! She had no idea that he was her enemy--a tall handsome Confederate who came into her unhappy life, stole her heart and would find a way to make her his own...


I know Robin Gideon's writing style leans more towards the erotic nowadays, too -- so, I wasn't sure if she'd merely revamped it to resell.

Wendy,  Lady Evelyn Quince (ladyevelynquince) | 245 comments I've been looking around for this one, but I can't seem to find any info. MysticalUnicorn is usually a good source on pseudonyms, but there's no listing for Robin Gideon. They both wrote for Zebras, but maybe she was just prolific and like Connie Fedderson wrote for the line under two pen names (in her case Carol Finch and Gina Robins), so it's possible.

I don't think they're the same. Years ago when I discovered her books, including her now defunct website that was still there last year, I don't think there was mention of a pseudonym and I can't find one for her when googling it.
