That's fantastic that you won the book! My publisher surprised me by giving away so many copies pre-release. Unfortunately I don't have book plates, but I will enquire about them and what the cost is as I'm sure this might interest other readers of mine too. Hope you enjoy it, Soraya x(less)

Thanks for reaching out! I have very minor (not explicit at all) build up to the characters being intimate in Wives of War and Voyage of the Heart (the couple are married), but there is no descriptive sex scenes at all. That covers anything that I write as Soraya M. Lane, including my upcoming release Hearts of Resistance and any future historical fiction/women's fiction. BUT, I also write hot contemporary romance as Soraya Lane, such as Cowboy Stole My Heart, and you'll notice from the covers that those novels are very different in content and style, and they do have fully descriptive sex scenes. Hope that helps! Soraya xx(less)
