Hello Romance Readers,

RARE Melbourne 2025... is right around the corner Oct 4th

All the gifts for my readers who preordered are packed and ready to go, except I'm not 100% ready. I haven't gone on a solo trip for longer than a week since my daughter was born. Since it takes over 24hrs to travel from San Antonio to Australia, I decided to make it a three week trip but now I'm panicking. My kids are in high school, they are very responsible and I shouldn't be anxious but the mom guilt is real. At the same time I super excited to go back to Australia and spend time with readers and family. Since I'll be down under next month, my October newsletter will go out late, not until around the 20th when I get back to the US.

Have you traveled solo lately? Hit reply and share your travel tips with me.

FREE BOOK of the MONTH:

by Diana Bold

Captain Dylan Blake has spent the last decade fighting for his country. Desperate for a little peace, he sells his commission and returns to England but soon finds himself angry and adrift in London Society. When an old nemesis challenges him to a wager — he must get Lady Natalia Sinclair to dance with him twice in one evening — he is willing to play along.

The daughter of a duke, Lady Natalia Sinclair fears her enormous dowry is the only thing that draws her many suitors. But heroic Captain Blake seems different. Unfortunately, she soon realizes his smile is false, his interest superficial.

Dylan sees Natalia's rejection as a challenge, and the stakes increase when he discovers his elder brother Michael is wooing the duke's daughter as well. Passed over for Michael too many times, he's determined to prove he can be first in somebody's heart.

As the lines between the wager and attraction blur, can Dylan and Natalia find the courage to take the biggest gamble of all — love?
