Getting giant packages from your publisher never gets old.
Particularly when said giant packages include a stack of cover flats, all gorgeous and designed by the unparalleled Avon Books design team…with pearly paper and foiled, lovely text and official, bona-fide romance author photo and bio.
And especially when they come with a note that says that you have permission to share the cover on your blog and all over the world. :)
So, here it is, y’all! Thanks for being so very very patient!
Nicholas St. John meets his match in Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord, in stores October 26th!
“Lord Nicholas is a paragon of manhood. And his eyes, Dear Reader! So blue!”Pearls & Pelisses, June 1823Since being named on of London’s “Lords to Land” by a popular ladies’ magazine, Nicholas St. John has been relentlessly pursued by every matrimony-minded female in the ton. So when an opportunity to escape fashionable society presents itself, he eagerly jumps—only to land in the path of the most determined, damnably delicious woman he’s ever met!
The daughter of a titled wastrel, Lady Isabel Townsend has too many secrets and too little money. Though used to taking care of herself quite handily, her father’s recent passing has left Isabel at sea and in need of outside help to protect her young brother’s birthright. The sinfully handsome, eminently eligible Lord Nicholas could be the very salvation she seeks.
But the lady must be wary and not do anything reckless…like falling madly, passionately in love.
So…that’s the teaser…poor poor Nick, chased out of London with half of its female population on his heels. Only to find himself in Yorkshire. With a vexing female of an entirely different kind. Isabel…the looker above who seems at risk of losing her dress. Of course…if I had Nick in my house, I might have a similar problem.
Speaking of Nick…he’s there, too! Yes…there’s a ridiculously good looking (and familiar…well, they are twins!) man on the stepback of this book. Nick & Isabel…come to life…and she’s even wearing red.

Once again, the designers at Avon Books have outdone themselves. I mean, are you kidding me with that cover? Jeez.
So…I’ve got a bunch of these to give away…I’m choosing 30 lucky winners from my mailing list to win signed coverflats! Join the mailing list here (I swear I won’t spam you) between now and next Wednesday, June 16th to be eligible to win (Added bonus…if you join anytime, ever, you’ll get postcards and other goodies from me periodically)!
And feel free to comment below with thoughts, drool, etc. You know I love that.
xoxo!

Wow, Sarah, that's absolutely gorgeous! And I just melted when I saw the stepback (a bit like the heroine!). Isn't her expression just the best? Congratulations!

Ohemgee! It looks awesome and sexy too! And yes, I adore Avon's book covers. They're always beautifully done and definitely romantic looking. Not going lie… I've bought a few books by Avon before because of the the covers alone (but the books turned out to be good too!). Anyways, happy to finally see the cover and the summery. (:

Love the cover and the inside pic. And of course the synopsis also sounds great.
I finished "Nine rules to break when romancing a rake" yesterday and loved it. I will post my review about it tomorrow in my blog and will definitely do some promo for your next book.
June 13th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
9 Rules is my fave book of 2010 and I can't wait for this one
June 13th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
I can't WAIT for your next book! Though I must admit, I was hoping for Juliana and the Duke of Leighton's story. That one has fireworks written all over it. Fabulous characters.
June 13th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Great cover! Can't wait for the new release. I bought Nine Rules the first week it was out and had it on my calender to buy. I'll do the same with Ten Ways. :D
June 15th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
I love the cover art and can't wait to read this book!
June 15th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
hot! So sadly, I haven't read 9 rules yet… I still live at home and my mother would be shocked. But looking forward to reading that, and this one!
