1. A Summer Devon release today ! This is a historical romance set in New York City. There is still time to ask for a review copy. Go on, ask me. I have them. 2. It's Bonnie Dee's Birthday -- and she has a book is released today, too.

He’s a Prohibition Agent, sworn to shut down the gin mills and distilleries that keep illegal booze flowing.
