Hi, Donna! I think I have one of her books waiting to be scanned as well. Didn't she write The Wedding Ring? Right now, I'm working on the latest books in the Zion Covenant series, but if I can ever get through those, I believe The Wedding Ring is the next in my current stack. <smile> Take care!

While she wrote for Silhouette and Harliquin, she also wrote some other novels that I really like. We have five of her books in the collection. I'll scan more if I can find them. I think I've already scanned all that were in my library.
