Currently seeking: romantic suspense with a strong female character, contemporary
romance (I like both small town and smart, sexy romances), historical romances (with a
twist, I like highlanders, cowboys, self-made men), erotic romance (with a gritty,
emotional hook, digital only, category length). I love anything with a fun voice. I don’t
