Caroline & Silver Storm eBooks!

I'm up to my ears in edits for Surrender the Stars & Touch the Sun eBooks, but wanted to stop by here and let you know that Caroline & Silver Storm are live on Amazon & B&N!

They look beautiful, I think! I especially love the Silver Storm cover. The model for Andre wrote me that it's his favorite of 1500+ books covers he's on! :)
