Cover Reveal: Love Me Once

 I love BOOK COVERS! I love book covers that are prepared by Dar Albert of Wicked Smart Design. And I love stock photos from Killion Group Images/Hot Damn Design. Combined, they are my own little masterpieces.

I don't doubt that making a cover is a fun, interesting and, at times, a frustrating profession, but what sets Dar apart is her ability to read between the lines of an author design request. I swear I can give her ten words of description and she comes up with the picture/cover that was in my mind's eye - or very close!!

Some of you have heard Book Three in The Infamous Forrester series is coming out soon - hopefully end of July, but possibly the first couple weeks of August. The title: Love Me Once. It's kind of a riff on "Fool Me Once" because while my hero and heroine deeply love each other, the stars never seem to align for them.

Earlier, I was preparing this blog post and I was going to say "And look at me - doing a Spanish heroine", thinking, aren't I being unique. I totally forgot about my Spanish hero in one of my romantic suspense contemporaries, Play It Cool. Ah, well...

So, here it is: Love Me Once

Coming Soon: Love Me Once

 Book Three in the Infamous Forresters series!

An Inadvisable Wager Release Day

The most wonderful time of the year...you know it's either a release day or cover reveal day, right!!!

An Inadvisable Wager is up

 for pre-order and releases on February 23rd!

 

An Inadvisable Wager Release Date!

 I'm still on track for 4, count'em FOUR, releases this year. All historical romances - heat level may vary.

You may already know but the next book in The Curse of the Weatherby Ball will be released on February 23rd! This book is titled An Inadvisable Wager. (And I do apologize, I goofed on my cover/story order. I had the cover for Book 2 done first, but I finished Book 3 first. Hope it's not too distracting!!!)

Here's the updated blurb. It happens once in a while, but rarely, do I change a protagonist's name during the writing process but I did for this one. Hero was going to be Graham, but I renamed him Gabriel (he is rather angelic in the end. LOL)

Nora Blasington is cursed, born to the notorious George Blasington, renowned thief and traitor. Avenging her father is her lot in life and she is determined to prove that three ton gentlemen illegitimately benefited from his death, stealing her father’s properties. Properties that rightfully belonged to her brother, the 4th Earl of Wargrove.

Only the Wicked Three are dead and can no longer reveal their secrets. No bother! She will wreak vengeance on the sons of those wicked ones since they have what she wants: Henbury Hall, the Cornish tin mines and the Henbury stallions.

The Weatherby Ball may be cursed, but Nora ably catches the eye of Gabriel Sutter, Earl of Carlow, the current owner of Henbury Hall. Just the man she needs. He unwittingly falls into her trap.

What she doesn’t know is that Gabriel is quite taken with the mysterious and oddly dramatic masked beauty. Though, he might have been more cautious had he known Nora Blasington was hiding behind the mask. Oh hell, he had to marry at some point. It might as well be tonight, and it might as well be to the woman who’d just tried to blackmail him.

I'm very hopeful that this book makes a few lists. Please help me make that happen!!!

I'm working on the next book - another in the Infamous Forrester's series. I'm usually right on top of titles but this one has eluded me. Right now it is just called "Roman" - the hero's name.

Happy New Year

We made it! 2021 will surely be a wonderful year. What do you have planned?

I'd like to say I have some new and great plans, but I will be writing, as usual. I have four books I'm trying to release this year - all historical romances. I think I've posted about this earlier, but here's the plan.

In February, An Inadvisable Wager will be released. I'm just finishing edits on this one. I really like this story. A laid-back hero who is enchanted by the drama and emotion of the heroine.

After that, it will be another story in the Infamous Forresters and two more books in the Wicked Affairs series.

Hopefully I'll hear from you throughout the year. Leave me some reviews, or contact me on FB or Twitter. All the best. E.

Wishing you and your family a very blessed and merry Christmas.

 It it during such times we recognize the power of simple things: love, family, friends and freedom. Keep the faith. All will be well.

 

Coming Soon! An Inadvisable Wager

 I just typed THE END last night on my newest Regency romance. This is the third book in The Curse of the Weatherby Ball series. Off to my editor!

I made a mistake in this series. I had the cover finished for this book very early on, but then I ended up finishing Book Three (Not Your Average Earl) before Book Two. Ooopsy! 

So here's the blurb:

Nora Blasington’s curse is that she was born to the notorious George Blasington, renowned thief and traitor. Avenging her father is her lot in life and she is determined to prove that three ton gentlemen illegitimately benefited, stealing her father’s properties. Properties that rightfully belonged to her brother, the 4^th earl of Wargrove.

Only they are dead and can no longer reveal their secrets. No bother! She will wreak vengeance on the sons of the Wicked Three since they have what she wants: Henbury Hall, the Cornish tin mines and the Henbury stallions.

At the Weatherby Ball she catches the eye of the Earl of Carlow, the current owner of Henbury Hall. He willingly falls into her trap. Nora thinks the ball curse has worked in her favor. 

What she doesn’t know is that Graham Sutter is quite taken with the mysterious and oddly dramatic beauty.

Though he might have been more cautious if he’d known Nora Blasington was hiding behind the mask. Oh hell, he had to marry at some point. It might as well be tonight, and it might as well be to the woman who’d just tried to blackmail him.

I love this cover. Another great one by Dar Albert.
