Okay, it's time for a proper intro thread, not just the one I whacked up there during the workday. I'm Adele, I'm a law librarian by day and romance author by night. I talk occasionally about a bunch of stuff but a lot about books. I'm about to talk about my books!

My most recent release from Harlequin Afterglow is Fake Flame - book 1 in the First Responder series (there will be 3 as of about this time next year). PW said "Buck brings the heat in this scorching rom-com..." adelebuck.com/books/fake-f...

Out next Tuesday is #2 in the First Responders, The Anti-Social Season. PW said "Sex scenes sizzle while the pressures of the holiday season keep the plot moving swiftly." adelebuck.com/books/the-an...

On to my self-pub titles! My most popular self-pub books is an e-only novella, The Wedding Bait. Our heroine is Tove Nilsen, successful businesswoman, mother of the bride, and her awful ex just RSVP'd yes to the wedding. So she hires an escort... adelebuck.com/books/the-we...

More self-pub: my All for You series. Really the start of my "Real people, only better" tagline. Sam(antha) is a fly fishing guide and Graham is the guy whose dad willed him a valuable bamboo rod. Determined to give the sport another try, he hires her by mistake... adelebuck.com/books/anglin...

And Samantha's 40-something aunt is the heroine of the next book. Finally able to afford a house, she's now overwhelmed with the responsibility. Enter next-door-neighbor Rob, an experienced DIY guy, silver fox, sexy single dad... adelebuck.com/books/handy-...

As a retired law librarian I really want to read this one! I hope you get to finish it someday.

On to the home stretch, the Center Stage series. This is available in print, e, AND audio because my amazing agent sold the audio rights to Tantor (it's on Hoopla if you have that platform through your library!). This was the beginning of my publishing journey.

Acting Up. A modern spin on Austen's Lady Susan set in US regional theater, with influences from TV's Slings and Arrows. Paul and Cath are a director and a stage manager, best friends, and they have the play of the lifetime. And he's just cast her college nemesis. adelebuck.com/books/acting...

Method Acting (my fave of the series): Scrappy actress Alicia meets cultured DC power-player when she's doing Shakespeare. An opposites attract/Cinderella story where she buys her own damn dress. adelebuck.com/books/method...
