I can't wait for you to meet its ex-con hero, Kincaid Graves. I know you're going to love him.

And you don't have to wait 'til then for a Serena fix, either---AFTER MIDNIGHT, my Loveswept New Year's Eve novella, releases as a standalone in October, and a not-yet-titled short story will appear in WINTER RAIN, an anthology published by Pink Kayak Press to benefit Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), in November.Hold on Tight3And of course, HOLD ON TIGHT, my secret baby/injured soldier novel from Loveswept, is out in just two weeks! I have so much happiness about this book and sharing it with my readers.
