Sold!

Harlequin Intrigue has bought my next two books, to come out in January and February of 2010.

I have no idea what the titles will be, although their working titles are Cowboy Justice and Small Hostage, respectively.

Cowboy Justice is about a man whose determination to find his wife's murderer becomes complicated by his growing feelings for a woman who survived the killer's attack once but has now become the killer's obsession.

Small Hostage is about a female police detective with a tragic past who reluctantly takes on the task of protecting a child targeted for kidnapping. With a past like hers, the last thing she wants to do is fall for the little girl, or the child's sexy, burned-by-love father.
