Last week (WEEK 10) we sponsored a fantastic giveaway with Diana Quincy, who is making her Avon Romance debut with Her Night with the Duke, out September 29.  For the WEEK 9 countdown giveaway we thought that two rogues would be better than one!

Evie Dunmore made a big splash with her historical romance debut last year, Bringing Down the Duke, and now she’s back with A Rogue of One’s Own. Don’t you adore this tagline?


A lady must have money and an army of her own if she is to win a revolution—but first, she must pit her wits against the wiles of an irresistible rogue bent on wrecking her plans…and her heart.



The title reference to Virginia Woolf’s famous essay, A Room of One’s Own, is very apropos—Evie’s books are filled with determined suffragettes who must overcome the odds (and the rogues) on the way to taking down the patriarchy. The reviews for Evie’s books have been phenomenal!

“Miss Dunmore is a literary force to be reckoned with. She’s single handedly forging a new historical romance era and I am here. For. It.”—Rachel Van Dyken, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“With a whip-smart suffragist heroine and a charming scoundrel of a leading man, this fresh take on historical romance is definitely one of my favorite reads of the year!“—Stephanie Marie Thornton, USA Today bestselling author

A Rogue of One’s Own releases on Tuesday, September 1. Learn all about it on Evie’s website: http://eviedunmore.com/

I have something exciting starting this week…

 

I’m thrilled to announce that Book One in my new Wallflowers vs. Rogues series, LOVE IS A ROGUE, is available for pre-order! I’m so in love with this cover — the art department at Avon Books perfectly captured Lady Beatrice and Ford! 

Once upon a time in Mayfair a group of wallflowers formed a secret society with goals that had absolutely nothing to do with matrimony. Their most troublesome obstacle? Rogues! 

They call her Beastly Beatrice.  

Wallflower Lady Beatrice Bentley longs to remain in the wilds of Cornwall to complete her etymological dictionary. Too bad her brother’s Gothic mansion is under renovation. How can she work with an annoyingly arrogant and too-handsome rogue swinging a hammer nearby?

Rogue. Scoundrel. Call him anything you like as long as you pay him.

 Navy man Stamford Wright is leaving England soon and renovating Thornhill House is just a job. It’s not about the duke’s bookish sister or her fiery copper hair. Or the etymology lessons the prim-yet-alluring lady insists on giving him. Or the forbidden things he’d love to teach her.

They say never mix business with pleasure. But when Beatrice and Ford aren’t arguing, they’re kissing.

Sometimes temptation proves too strong to resist…even if the cost is a heart.

I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be chatting live with the amazing Julia Quinn on her Instagram page this Thursday April 30th at 2:00 p.m. EDT! Julia’s latest book FIRST COMES SCANDAL released last week and it’s such a sweet and beautiful story. I hope you can join us and say hello and ask some questions. See you soon!
