I think of Kasey Michaels primarily as a romance writer, but she did write a couple of semi-mystery series - which were mysteries enough to be listed in
SYKM. But Michaels' Maggie Kelly series, about a romance writer who gets dumped by her publisher and starts writing mysteries, still seems like more of a romance series to me, since her "gorgeous hunk of a fiction hero", Viscount St Just, shows up to help her solve them. So I'm posting it there. Per an email I got, the six books in the series are free for one week, but you do have to subscribe to her newsletter to get them. See
