Wrapping Up the San Antonio Bravos

There are nine SA Bravo stories in all.  Six are out on bookstands.  Three more are yet to be released.

And in terms of the writing...I'm on the second-to-last book.  It seems like only yesterday I sat down to write the story outline for The Stranger and Tessa Jones.  And now I'm almost finished telling all those stories.

Yesterday, I hit the midpoint in the writing of Marriage Bravo Style, which is Elena Cabrera's story.  Elena, BTW, is the illegitimate daughter of Davis Bravo, hardheaded patriarch of this branch of the family.  Elena first appeared in A Bravo's Honor, back in July of last year, when a big family secret blew wide open, with Elena's paternity in the center of the storm.

In the books that have followed, I've charted the arc of the Bravo/Cabrera connection.  It's been quite an arc and I have loved writing it.

So strange that half the books are still to come out, and I'm already thinking ahead to the next branch of the family. 

First Chapters and a Back Cover Blurb...

Here's that back cover copy I promised for VALENTINE BRIDE:

FROM HOUSEKEEPER TO BLUSHING BRIDE?

Regal, reserved Irina Lukovic was the perfect live-in housekeeper. Until she found out she was being sent back to her war-torn homeland. So Caleb Bravo came up with the ideal solution…one where they’d still be living together on a more permanent basis.…The handsome bachelor proposed!

Irina couldn’t believe that the footloose mogul was giving up his freedom for her. But now that they were officially husband and wife, she suddenly yearned to belong to Caleb in more than name only. To be his wife...in every sense of the word...

And the first chapter is up on my website. Go here to have a look.

I also put up the first chapter for my March 2010 release, A BRIDE FOR JERICHO BRAVO. You can read that here.

My plan is to get up first chapters way ahead, so check my excerpt page now and then to see what's new!

And Happy Holidays!

New Cover...

Here's the cover for my February 2010 release, VALENTINE BRIDE. Hero in this one is Caleb Bravo. Heroine is his housekeeper, Irina Lukovic. It's a green card marriage story.

I like the romantic feel of this one, the way she's cuddled in close to him. Should get the back cover copy in the next couple of days and will add it to this post.
