Very many thanks for your kind words, Sick Rose.

While I know many of us, admittedly including me, have not been deterred from buying whatever books they want from Amazon, I can very well understand why others are put off doing so.

The only solution I know of is that those in the USA (or who have friends there good enough to act on their behalf) can (or at least could a few years ago) buy with cash anonymous topped-up credit cards and use these to order books from Amazon under a pseudonym.

I know this because it twice happened that I wanted to send a copy of Alexander's Choice to a potentially important reviewer without revealing my muggle name to him/her, and an American friend helped me to do so pseudonymously, using this method.

I don't know if this solution exists in any other countries - it unfortunately doesn't where I live.

While I don't look forward to the pirating of A Dangerous Love, I'm not the sort of person to want to make money, however small, out of individual friends, and I expect other arrangements can be made for you.
