The
Gate to Eden April
2006 Maddie Campbell was not your ordinary thief. A widow and mother, she liked to think her wealthy victims were merely "donating" to the many others of the mining community who had been left with nothing.

Despite her efforts to throw him off track, he was determined to draw out all her secrets in the most exquisite ways — soft caresses, passionate kisses, and exploration of her most intimate places. But when confronted with the truth, would he choose love or the law? Check out my booksigning adventures (spurred on by the release of The Gate to Eden) in 'My Big Fat Local Booksigning Tour,' which originally appeared as a three-part series of articles in Romantic Times Book Club Magazine. |
