Sabrina Jeffries writing as Deborah Martin
Since I haven't written as Deborah Martin for years, the books are pretty much unavailable new, but you can still find copies in used bookstores and online used outlets (including Amazon and Barnes and Noble). For more info, go to my How to Find My Books page.
The Deborah Martin historicals are denser and less humorous than my Sabrina Jeffries books, but if you're looking for sexual tension, both styles have plenty of it.
The Deborah Martin titles are listed below from most recent to oldest, with the novellas and audio editions at the bottom.
