It recently came to our attention that the ebook bundle that we participated in selecting with Harlequin is definitely making an impact on some readers.  Specifically, Jane at Dear Author was inspired to by reading The Brazilian’s Blackmailed Bride to read more of Michelle Reid’s wonderful stories.

And Jane isn’t alone.  I’ve heard of a few others who were caught by Margaret Mayo’s book,  Surrender to the Millionaire and both Anne’s and Kate’s books as well!  So have you downloaded your copy?

One-Night Mistress...Convenient Wife bookcover

When her mother is called away, Natalie Ross is forced to face her embarrassment where a certain sexy lawyer was concerned head-on. She must interact with the ever irresistible, Christo Savas, while at the same time remembering she’s an adult and over the silly emotions of a young woman. But it quickly becomes apparent that her feelings aren’t that easily ignored…and neither are Christos. Throw in her housesitting duties—which happen to be on his estate—and taking her mother’s place in his office after a series of disastrous temps, and neither her nor Christo can keep their hands off each other long!

Then when things have heated up past the boiling point, fate throws the final nail in their determination to stay apart with a trip to Christo’s aging grandmother’s home where Natalie agrees to pretend she’s his fiance!

So over the years, my books have turned up as Harlequin Romances, Harlequin Americans, Silhouette Desires and Special Editions, as well as single titles, novellas and, happily, Harlequin Presents.

People often think that the scope of Presents books is narrowly defined. I get asked, “Aren’t they all about Greek tycoons?” or “Don’t the heroes have to be arrogant and overbearing?” or any number of other stereotypical notions.
