Save Your Breath (Morgan Dane #6) by Melinda Leigh

1) Your newest release, Save Your Breath, features two of your most popular characters, attorney Morgan Dane and P.I. Lance Kruger.

Melinda Leigh answered Tracy's question: I absolutely ADORE all of your series you have written and co-written!! Morgan Dane was my first series and I wondered if there would be any others in that series or only the characters showing up in the other surrounding series? I'm so glad you love my books! I don't have any more Morgan Dane books planned at the moment. I'm contracted to write 2 more Bree Taggert books in the next year. Thanks for asking.

Melinda Leigh answered A Goodreads user's question: I’ve read the Scarlet Falls, Morgan Dane and Bree Taggert series. Any suggestions on what to read next while I wait for the next Bree Taggert book? You could try the She Can or Midnight books or venture into the Rogue River and Widow's Island Novella series I co-wrote with Kendra Elliot. Happy Reading!
