Freebies and a Favor

I’ve got lots of announcements today. One of my Brides of Bath books is going to be offered free for the first time. I’ve got a new contest. And I would like to ask for your vote for the RONE award.

1st Beresford Adventure Book

Nominated for Best Regency

I am over the moon that my Beresford Adventures have been so popular with readers. Because the first book, Lady Mary’s Dangerous Encounter, received a perfect 5-star rating from InD’Tale magazine’s review, it qualifies to move forward in the voting for Best Regency, and I would be most appreciative if you’d take the time to vote for it. Just sign up at the InD’Tale site (if you haven’t already). It’s free to receive this awesome magazine each month. Voting for Best Regency can only be done this week. Voting ends Sunday.

The highest vote-getters move on to the next round in this three-pronged selection process, which includes expert editors and reviewers. Go here to vote.

Brides of Bath Book Free for First Time

The third of my Brides of Bath books (totally a stand-alone book), The Bride’s Secret, is temporarily free. Originally published 20 years ago, this book is easily the most emotional book I’ve ever written. It’s also sexy. Here’s a summary:

Since his commanding officer in the Peninsula took a bullet meant for him, James Moore, now the Earl of Rutledge, feels responsible for the dead man's young son and the boy's exquisite mother, Carlotta Ennis – so responsible that he offers to marry the lavender-eyed beauty. Though their marriage was not to be a love match, Carlotta's torturing presence has James yearning to make her his true wife.

Though she did not love his lordship, her desperate situation forced her to accept his proposal. Little did she know she would come to crave being with him, would hunger for his every touch. If only she could be worthy of the fine man she's married, if only she can keep him from learning her dark secret . . .

Here are some reviews of it:

“Will make readers cheer” – Romantic Times

“This book is very well written. . .I would recommend it to anyone.” – Escape to Romance

“Has what we all want from a love story. Don’t miss it.” – In Print

Available at Amazon __ Barnes & Noble __ Kobo __ Google __ iBooks
