We’re launching the collection on February 24 with a Facebook Launch Party. Each author will host a half-hour time slot (ours is 8:30-9:00 p.m. Eastern, which is 7:30 Central, & 5:30 Pacific) and during that half-hour the author will give away a cool prize! We think you’ll like what we have planned.
In addition, at the end of the evening there will be a grand-prize drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card!

SHADOWS OF LOVE
After her betrothals ended in the deaths of two prospective husbands and the life-threatening illness of a third, Lady Audra Lambton – the Poor Lamb – has given up on romance. Left to herself, she’d stay far away from the ton gossip about the Poor Lamb’s curse. But her brother offers a deal: if she chaperones his young ward and successfully marries the girl off, he’ll sign over control of Audra’s dowry. The prospect of financial freedom lures Audra to London for one last Season. How difficult can it be to marry off Dorinda?
The bubble-headed young ward is more of a challenge than Audra expected, and as she looks around for a match for Dorinda, Audra’s eye falls once more on Lucas Kinley. The third of her ill-fated fiancés, Lord Kinley is as deliciously tempting as ever – and his ancestral estate still needs her generous dowry. Renewing their betrothal would only set the Poor Lamb’s curse in motion once more – but if Audra can convince Lucas to marry Dorinda instead, everyone can win.
Unless freedom is no longer what Audra wants… but can she risk the Poor Lamb’s curse – and Lucas’s life?

PROJECT DOGWAY
It’s high fashion hijinks in Laguna Beach with designer togs, spa pampering, and jewels galore…and that’s just the dogs.
With canines on the catwalk at this fundraising haute dog fashion show, pet therapist, Caro, and cousin Mel, owner of the local Bow Wow Boutique, are mingling with the crowd, but still not speaking to each other.
But when one of Caro’s clients, Phil Tawny, the protective owner of Shadow, an award-winning beagle, drops dead at the event, the feuding cousins find themselves embroiled in much more than a fashion “faux paw.” There’s a rabid Shadow fan, a fame-hungry ex-wife, and a detective who doesn’t want them sniffing around his investigation.
But Caro and Mel refuse to sit/stay, and soon find themselves on the tail of a killer.

Author Description:
Our author picture is a shot of us with the real Sparkle and the real Abbey. Don't you love the stare down? Our real names are Mary Lee Woods and Anita Carter. We write the Pampered Pets mystery series together. We're also friends and neighbors so you'll often find us writing at ML's dining room table or at our local Starbucks.
We chose to use Sparkle Abbey as our pen name on this series because we liked the idea of combining the names of our two rescue pets - Sparkle (ML's cat) and Abbey (Anita's dog).
We live in the Midwest, but if we could write anywhere, you would find us on the beach with our laptops and depending on the time of day either an iced tea or a margarita.
We have had so much fun writing this series and we hope you enjoy Caro and Mel's adventures!

Author Description:
I live in upstate New York with my very own alpha-male and a loveable labrador who thinks he's the fourth child! Proud mom of an Army ROTC cadet, a soon to be college freshman and a teenage daughter who's involved in everything, there's never a dull moment in our busy household.
I'm a firm believer in love at first sight, second chances and creating your own destiny. Isn't that what romance is all about? Being a hopeless romantic helps me write my touching, emotional and heartfelt romances.
I also write Gossip Girl fan-fiction under the name Kyra Steele. You can find Kyra through Amazon's Kindle Worlds.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy a good glass of wine and getting lost in a book. I also love cross-country skiing and ice-skating (although I admit to not having done either in years!) hiking, anything crafty, and competitive family game nights (scrabble of course)!
