The Earl’s Holiday Wager

You’re Invited…

By in Holiday Pleasures series, Just for fun, My Books, The Earl's Holiday Wager

…to a Regency house party spanning Christmas to Twelfth Night. Mistletoe will be gathered, wicked party games will be played, and the library will play host to secrets and steamy encounters.

This eventful party can be found in The Earl’s Holiday Wager, a rake-bluestocking romance in which both our hero and our heroine are struggling with unwanted reputations. Over the course of a house party, they remake themselves and, of course, fall in love. Louisa and Alex’s love story was a lot of fun to write, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading it.

This romance was originally published in 2012 as Season for Surrender. Since that time, I’ve given it a new title and a light edit–but if you read it in its first edition, this is basically the same story. Just so we’re clear. 🙂

In the final days of summer vacation, I picked up a new hobby: lettering. I’m still very much a newbie, working on making letterforms consistent and developing a steadier hand, but the practice is really soothing for me. Today, to celebrate release day, I designed a fancypants rendering of the title. Hand-lettering of "The Earl's Holiday Wager" in script and sans serif Louisa and Alex see a lot of ornate books; maybe they’d like this. Or at least accept it as an “it’s the thought that counts” gift.

Happy reading to you all! And if you enjoy word art, happy lettering, too.

New Titles and Cover Art for the Holiday Pleasures Series

I’ve regained the rights to many of my historical romances, which means some of them are temporarily out of print while I shine them up and get them ready to republish. Earlier this year, the Romance of the Turf books were individually reissued–and for the first time, they are also available in audio format and as a box set.

Coming up next? The Season for [Insert Abstract Noun Here] series–officially, the Holiday Pleasures series–is getting an updated look, with new titles that will tell you more about the stories within. I’ll be able to bring them to you at a lower digital price, too.

Next week, on August 23, the book originally known as Season for Temptation will be republished as The Viscount’s Inconvenient Temptation.

In October, The Baron’s Marriage Gamble will follow, and in November, the series will conclude with The Rogue’s Treasure Hunt.

All of these books are getting a light edit, but they’re essentially the same love stories they always were. I’m making the original title part of each book’s description on my site and on retail sites, so hopefully it’ll be easy to tell whether you’ve read it before. Print editions will become available for each book right around the digital release dates.

Guess I’d better get back to work! 🙂
