Prejudices of Yesteryear and a #Giveaway

I'm over at Embracing Romance today talking about the difficulties of writing a romantic heroine who has the prejudices of the era in which she lives, but also appeals to modern readers.


There's a giveaway, just because. Hop on over and comment for a chance to win.  http://wp.me/p5fbTi-3mJ

This pic has nothing to do with the blog at Embracing Romance. It's what happens when you spray trees with water just before a very hard freeze. Which may seem kooky, but we hardly ever get any snow or ice here in Atlanta, so this kept the illusion of winter for a couple of extra days.

Lamb's Wool & a Christmas Novella #Giveaway

Today I'm over at Embracing Romance with a recipe for Lamb's Wool, an old-fashioned drink that features in some of my Christmas novellas. It's a truly lovely holiday beverage and well worth trying.

Also, there's a giveaway - a copy of one of the aforementioned novellas. For a chance to win, go on over to Embracing Romance and leave a comment telling me about your favorite holiday beverage.

Cover reveal: Love and the Shameless Lady (second try)

So... I had already posted the cover I thought would be it, but there was a last minute change, and I think it was for the better. Here's the shiny new cover for Love and the Shameless Lady, which comes out in November:

I think it works. She looks as if she could easily be shameless. He looks delightfully mischievous, something I always appreciate in a hero. As long as he doesn't set something on fire...because I don't think he's paying much attention to those candles he's carrying.

Blurb:

Disgraced lady, Daisy Warren serves ale in a tumbledown inn, sings crude songs for the smugglers, and writes romantic novels in her spare time. Shunned by her own class, she’s resigned to her lowly life—until someone tries to kill her.

Gentleman spy, Sir Julian Kerr noses out seditionists and traitors. When he visits the inn to investigate two suspicious Frenchmen, he meets the lovely but hostile Daisy. He doesn’t intend to get involved with her—but then he learns that someone is threatening her life.

He wants to find out more—it’s part of his investigation.

He wants to protect her—he’s a chivalrous man.

He just wants her.             

But will Daisy’s bitter past allow her to risk love again?

The pre-order links should be up soon. :)
