Hello dear readers!

As you guys know, late last year, some of my books were moved out of kindle unlimited. This allowed them to be uploaded to, well, everywhere else, including Barnes and Noble, Apple, Google, and Kobo. Previously, they weren't allowed to be in any of those places because they can't be if they are in Kindle Unlimited.

So, which of my books are where? I've made some graphics for you!

In Kindle Unlimited, you'll find my London Secrets series, The Cavendish Family series, The Art of Love series, and my Rake Review book, The Fake February Rake.

I have two series that you can grab at all e-retailers EXCEPT for kindle unlimited. You can grab them at Barnes and Noble, Google Books, Apple, and of course in Kobo Plus! (Kobo Plus is a subscription service like Kindle Unlimited, and you pay a monthly fee to download and read as many books as you like! It's awesome.) My books in these places are the Gentleman's Guide to Courtship series and The Debutante Dares series (which was just given new covers by my publisher!).

Thanks for letting me slip into your inbox with this information. I hope it makes finding my books at the places you like to shop best easier.

In gratitude for your ear, I give you a first FIRST look at the unedited (it's with my editor) Between Courting and Kissing, book 3 in the Gentleman's Guide to Courtship. Here, our hero has stumbled upon our heroine, and they have stumbled upon another amorous couple...

***

Benjamin Bailey usually enjoyed the sight of a pretty woman on her back. But the garden was too crowded for amorous activities, and the woman staring up at him with wide eyes was not for him. He only pretended to court her, after all.

The veil had flown away from her face during the fall, and Lady Prudence scowled up at him, her pale face bearing clear signs of her ire—brows pulled into a deep v, mouth pinched thin, blue green eyes sparking in the moonlight. A few tendrils of her hair—a forgettable shade between brown and blonde—escaped its tightly-controlled coiffure beneath the veil.

He held out a hand to her.

She smacked it away and rolled to her hands and knees, pushed to her feet on her own. Only to grab his wrist and yank him down, bending his body in half at the waist.

“Devil take it, woman,” he hissed, shaking her grip away and shooting up tall once more.

She grabbed his shoulder this time and yanked him down again, whispered in his ear, “either leave or remain hidden, Mr. Bailey. I’d rather not be caught.”

“I already caught you.”

She sighed, world weary. “Again. I’d rather not be caught again. Besides, you’re going to release me.”

“Catch and release? Will I?”

“Yes, as soon as I can be certain Lord Norton will not latch on next.”

Ben straightened as much as she would allow and peeked over the shrubbery that hid them. There, in the moon-brightened shadows—Norton’s light hair, his angled profile soft as he gazed down at a veiled woman. He reached for the edge of the woman’s veil where it fell just above her lips. The woman pushed it away, keeping her secrets.

“I don’t think you have to worry about Norton.” Ben ducked down once more. “He’s occupied.”

“Occupied?” Lady Prudence straightened all the way, her head bouncing above the top edge of the shrubs. “Oh!” Then another gasp on the pathway of a slow, deep inhale. “Oh no.” The two words joining the sound of an exhalation.

He peeked over the edge again. Norton now kissed the woman, their lips locked beneath the veil’s edge. “She’s wearing the same costume as you.” Black everywhere, the silk embroidered with golden stars and moons. “What are you supposed to be?”

“Midnight,” Lady Prudence said, the word barely audible. “We should stop him!”

“Don’t think either of them would appreciate an interruption.”

The veiled woman clutched at Norton’s lapels, pulling his body against hers. They stumbled back several steps until her back hit a tree trunk. Then Norton trapped her, pressing his palms against the tree beside her head and parting her legs with his knee. She groaned.

Ben’s body tightened. The show grew more salacious by the moment. He glanced at Lady Prudence. She bit her bottom lip. If he could see her eyes in the sun’s bright rays instead of in the moonlight, he’d be able to tell—did they darken with confusion or with arousal?

She gasped, her hand flying up to catch the sound, muffle it.

Ben looked back to Norton and his catch. His now nearly naked catch. The viscount had torn the shoulder of the woman’s gown, and her bodice gaped low, revealing stays and the thin shift beneath. Norton had freed one small breast.

And Lady Prudence still looked on.
