**A Bandit's Stolen Heart releases March 18, so we weren't able to link. But here's a blurb:

Under the persona of the bandit Blood Blade, Cilla Richardson robs from the corrupt and gives to the poor. An accidental kidnapping during a routine robbery leaves her with a handsome captive named Leo Forrester. But Cilla and her sisters can use an ally in their fight against the town’s corrupt sheriff, and Leo is their best bet.

Leo reluctantly agrees to help by marrying Cilla’s older sister –just so they can keep their land. But the more time he spends with Cilla, the more determined Leo is to steal her stubborn bandit’s heart. However, Cilla is just as determined to keep her heart to herself. Then innocent people are murdered, and the sheriff blames Blood Blade. With their allies now their enemies, Leo and Cilla must convince the town of her innocence before she ends up on the wrong end of a hangman’s noose.

Whew! What a fantastic cornucopia of critiques and books! You might even want to bid on this one with another writer friend, assuming you can divvy up the prizes without hard feelings.

Once the auction closes and payment from the highest bidder is confirmed, the books will be mailed to the address you provide, plus instructions on getting your pages to us.
