The ABCs of Beauty and the Earl

For the past 26 days I’ve been posting the ABCs of Beauty and the Earl as we countdown to its release TODAY! So I give you, the entire list of ABCs of Beauty and the Earl:

A is for Anger, the emotion that has driven Liam for years. Can Violet draw him from the shell he’s built around himself and save him… and herself?

B is for Beauty and the Beast, which was a partial inspiration for this book.

C is for Choices, Violet has to make some, including whether or not to take on the job of seducing Liam to help Ava orchestrate a reunion. By why has she made those choices? Who does she hope to protect?

D is for Death, the death of Matilda, Liam’s lover (and the sister of his greatest enemy, Christian) has informed every choice, it has forced him into hiding. But love could be stronger than death.

E is for Earl, as in Liam. He is a troubled man, lost in grief and betrayal and anger. Only a special woman will allow him to be found again.

F is for Friendship, and there is plenty in this book. Violet brings a friend along to help her with her emotional task, Olivia. And Liam’s best friend, Malcolm, has saved him more than once. You will fall in love with these two and luckily they have their own book coming in June!

G is for Gentle, which could be surprising. This is a courtesan bent on seduction and a broken man who wants no one near. And yet in each other, they find a lover who gives, as well as takes.

H is for Holiday, which is what Violet tells Liam she is on. But this is business for her… and ultimate pleasure.

I is for Imposter. Violet is pretending to be only interested in a lover, but she is reporting back to Liam’s sister Ava. The truth will come out and there will be a cost.

J is for Judgment, something Violet has experienced many times as a courtesan. But the acceptance she finds with Liam is unexpected and turns her plans on their head.

K is for Kiss. Violet and Liam share many.

L is for Love, something neither Violet or Liam claim to desire. And yet they cannot deny the feelings growing within them.

M is for Mysterious, which Violet is. She is seducing Liam in order to leave London and she has a lot to protect. What? You’ll have to read to find out.

N is for Naughty. It’s a Jess Michaels erotic historical romance. You know it’s going to be naughty.

O is for Orgasm, pleasure aplenty! Both Liam and Violet will use their bodies to get what they want and the steamy scenes are going to make you smile.

P is for Passion, the power of which sweeps both Violet and Liam away. Their heated affair makes them each question the vows they have made, both to themselves and to others.

Q is for Quite Unexpected. Liam allows Violet into his life believing their affair will never touch his heart. But what happens instead is something that will set him on his head and make him wonder if he could ever love again.

R is for Rare. The kind of love and connection Liam and Violet form is oh-so-very rare, but they may be kept from it by betrayal.

S is for Seduction, like the one Violet performs at the public baths. Liam won’t even know what hit him.

T is for Trust. Violet knows she is violating Liam’s trust and she hates herself for it.

U is for Unfinished, like the business between Liam and his sister Ava. You know you’ve been waiting for it and it’s going to happen.

V is for Violet, a beautiful courtesan sent to seduce Liam. She doesn’t count on falling in love.

W is for Wild, which is what the passion between Liam and Violet is.

X is for X-Rated.  This is self-explanatory, isn’t it? Liam and Violet will set you on fire!

Y is for Yearning. Liam yearns for peace, Violet years to be herself and both of them yearn for the other’s touch.

Z is for Zealous. As Violet and Liam zealously pursue their passionate affair, but also zealously guard their secrets. Something has to give.

It’s out NOW! I hope you’ll all love it! 🙂

Beauty and the Earl

Liam, the Earl of Windbury, had everything when he held his secret lover in his arms. Until a feud between their families left her dead, his body broken, and his sister married to his bitter enemy. Racked with guilt, simmering with rage, he’s spent years in seclusion, seeing no one except a few servants as he does his best to forget the past and patently refuses to think about any kind of future.

When courtesan Violet Milford enters Liam’s lair, she’s on a secret mission to gather information for Liam’s desperate sister, who fears for his sanity, even his life. What she finds is a man scarred inside and out, whose dark, controlling sensuality hides the kind, wounded man within. Violet awakens a desire more powerful than Liam has ever known, and her stories weave a spell that begins to work its way past his defenses. But when the truth inevitably comes out, it could well destroy the love that is saving them both.
