Karen Rose I just finished the fourth Cincinnati book - Adam and Meredith's story, called Edge of Darkness. It'll be released 11/17 in the UK and 2/18 in the US/Canada. Getting ready to go into revisions. The book I'll start next will be a return to Baltimore.

Karen Rose This summer will be Quickening by Amy Lane, Silver Silence by Nalini Singh, Concourse by Santino Hassell, The Beast by JR Ward, and The F Word by Liza Palmer.
