Hey, y'all -- please note that I've "rated" my books for sensuality level as follows:
PG -- sexual innuendo, but no love scenes
PG-13 -- moderately explicit lovescenes
R -- as hot as this writer makes 'em, which isn't nearly as steamy as this stuff can get but might still offend your Aunt Tilly unless Aunt Tilly is a progressive thinker

Most of my backlist is now officially out of print, although you can easily find copies used on half.com or other online used book stores. For those titles still available, there are link buttons to take you directly to Barnes and Noble.com to order new.

And now Dean's coming back to Sweetbranch for the first time since he walked out on Sarah and their dreams to stand as his brother's best man. R

Which means Sarah is in seriously deep do-do.

(Gotta let y'all in on something about this book: ASW was one of the last books Scarlet published before giving up the ghost, and apparently, little things like, oh, correcting mistakes weren't high on their list. Seven pages of galley corrections I made -- including things like an entire missing page, for crying out loud -- and not one single correction ever saw the light of day. So if you see some things that don't make sense, now you know who to blame. K.)
