If you ever visit my websites or my MySpace page, you might have noticed that for the past few months, I’ve had a countdown widget for Seduction Is Forever. Well, last night at midnight, it rolled down to the last minute and timed out. Because today, Seduction Is Forever is finally on the shelves!

What can I say about this book that all you regular visitors here and to my other sites don’t already know? I mean, you know it’s the third and final Lady Spy book. You know it’s about Emily, who is the most talented and wild member of my “Lady Spies” universe. If you read Desire Never Dies earlier this year, you probably also remember that Emily was shot in that book and nearly died.

What you might NOT know is that I was most excited about writing Emily from the moment I conceived the series. I knew her story had to be last, since her book is related to the uncovering of who the mysterious Lady M is and since I knew she would have to be seriously injured in the middle book to drive Ana into the field. As I wrote the first two book (From London With Love and Desire Never Dies) I became even more enamored with tough, street smart, incredibly talented Emily.

And then I started her book and she completely terrified me! Her character had been so built up in the earlier books that I worried the entire time I worked. I needed to keep her toughness, but give her some softness that maybe we hadn’t seen from her before. I needed to give her the perfect hero, one who could match with her strength, but not be run over by her. I needed to resolve all those pesky questions that had gone throughout the entire series, but I also needed to make sure that her story stood on its own.

Lots of pressure, most of it self-made.

In the end, I’m so excited for all of you to read this book. Emily was a joy to write, as was her hero, Grant Ashbury, who is honestly just as tough as she is. With just as much heart. I hope their story touches you. Go pick it up and let me know!
