When Amazon banned Gabriel’s Woman (well, they banned the super sexy cover I created, which, by the way, I still love, but that’s beside the point), I was devastated. But it gave me time to stand back and really look at not only my beloved, untouchable angel, but the market. And romance as a whole. I realized it was time to step into the world of romance that is now versus how it was marketed in the past, i.e. having the sexiest cover and/or promoting explicit sex over romance. Romance readers, myself included, have always wanted more than sex, no matter how splendid. Romance is about vulnerability. And intimacy. And characterization. All of which my books have always been about.

But somehow all that lovely emotion – and history, real life, true, nitty gritty day-to-day life in the Victorian era – got lost in the hype. Gabriel and Victoria’s journey to a HEA is an incredible one that deserves to be read now. As a book with heartbreaking vulnerability, searing intimacy and gripping, complex characterization. Don’t worry, though, none of the heat is being toned down. GW is being edited to make it read more smoothly, not to make it less controversial.

That said … It is with great joy that I announce the upcoming release of Gabriel’s Woman, the Author’s Edition. It will be available in both print and ebook. I can’t wait for you to see the cover. It is beautiful! Dark. Evocative. Like Gabriel and Victoria.

Happy Reading!
