I just posted a teaser excerpt from HIS STOLEN BRIDE! Here’s your first chance to meet Sir Darach of Glenshiel and his stolen bride, Lady Laurien d’Amboise.

Lady Laurien is swept up in danger, adventure, and forbidden desire when she’s kidnapped from her royal wedding—by her groom’s most dangerous enemy, battle-hardened Highland lord Darach of Glenshiel. This is the long-awaited prequel novel to my Stolen Brides Series, three books that have been worldwide bestsellers, with more than 1,400 reviews at Amazon.com alone and a 4.5-star average rating on each book. If you’re a fan of authors like Johanna Lindsey or Jude Deveraux, I hope you’ll give them a try.

There are only four (four!) days left to pre-order HIS STOLEN BRIDE for the special price of $2.99, so snap up your copy today at Amazon | iBooks | Kobo | B&N

I’m celebrating a special anniversary today: 25 years ago, on March 2, 1990, my career as a published author officially began when I sold my first novel! I agreed to a two-book deal with Avon Books that day, negotiated by super-agent Richard Curtis. I’ve been on an amazing adventure ever since. Even with all the ups and downs of this crazy business, I wouldn’t trade a minute of it. Thank you readers, for making it all possible!

Here’s the sweet irony: I’m revising that first book as we speak! Originally titled Falcon on the Wind, it will be published in a new, fully revised edition on May 19 under the title His Stolen Bride. It’s currently available for pre-order at all your favorite ebook stores.

Here’s to 25 more years of Happily Ever Afters!
