Dear readers,

If you heard the shatter of hearts breaking yesterday, that was the sound of over 70 historical romance writers discovering their charity project had been derailed.

Sunflower Season is a labor of love for so many of us, and every single penny of royalties will go to charities benefiting the people of Ukraine. But, due to a snafu or glitch at Amazon, we lost the almost 4000 preorders we'd worked so hard to get. We lost that money for charity, too.

But never discouraged for long, everyone kicked into high gear and got the book up and running again. Without those pre-orders, unfortunately.

So, if you pre-ordered your copy days or months ago FROM AMAZON, you were not charged, and you will not receive a copy. UNLESS you order again. If you ordered a copy from Barnes and Noble or another retailer, you're good!

The book is up, finally, at Amazon now, too. You can grab your copy here! Re-grab your copy? Either way snag it, help us recover, and enjoy some excellent historical romance.

Wondering what story I've included? The prologue to Love a Lady at Midnight, the fourth book in the Cavendish series. A pining hero, a mysterious maiden, and a midnight masquerade.

I hope no one out there is broken hearted tonight, and I hope you all have lovely stories in your futures. I know you will with this anthology!

❤️
