My new book hits the shelves today! This is the follow-up to Love and Other Scandals, starring Abigail Weston and the brooding, mysterious man next door. Is he a war hero, a thief, a recluse, a murderer ... or the man of her dreams?

I have quite a soft spot for the hero, Sebastian. Far from being master of all he surveys, he's endured some significant hardship. When Abigail walks into his life, he's sure of two things: she's the most wonderful woman he's ever met, and she deserves so much better than the likes of him. Writing their story was both a challenge and a pleasure, and I hope you enjoy it, and come to love them both as much as I did.

Those wicked stories from Love and Other Scandals, 50 Ways to Sin, are still a source of fascination to Abigail and her sister Penelope, and many people have written to ask about them. Here's your chance to read the very issues featured in the book: submit proof of purchase of It Takes a Scandal, and receive three issues to see for yourself just how naughty Lady Constance can be.

Spring has finally arrived here in New England, after a brutal winter. I hope things are bright and blooming for you, too!

Wishing you many happy hours of reading,

Caroline
