So insanely busy right now, but all for a very good reason!

I got my cover for my August Berkley Heat release – Laid Bare

Coming August 4 from Berkley Heat

Unexpected Desire…

It’s been ten years since clean-cut, sexy-as-hell police officer Todd Keenan had a white-hot fling with Erin Brown, the provocative, wild rocker chick next door. Their power exchange in the bedroom got under his skin. But love wasn’t in the cards just yet…

Now, life has thrown the pair back together. But picking up where they left off is tough, in light of a painful event from Erin’s past. As Todd struggles to earn her trust, their relationship takes an unexpected and exciting turn when Todd’s best friend, Ben, ends up in their bed—and all three are quite satisfied in this relationship without a name. As the passion they share transforms Erin, will it be enough to help her face the evil she thought she had left behind?

I’m totally over the moon about this cover!

And this from Publisher’s Marketplace from last week:

FICTION: WOMEN’S/ROMANCE
Lauren Dane’s untitled sequel to the author’s upcoming title, Laid Bare, to Leis Pederson at Berkley Heat, in a nice deal, for publication in January 2010, by Laura Bradford at Bradford Literary Agency.

So lots of good news. I’m writing this book right now, doing copy edits for Laid Bare and working on first round edits for Always for Samhain and my next chapter for No Reservations so I’m crazy insane, still…productive and grateful.
