I'll draw the lucky winner on the 13th February, and deliver to the winner in time for Valentine's Day (if you want all three in eBook format! A book will take longer).

Valentine’s Day. The word sends shivers of delight through many, agony through others, and for a small minority a shrug, as if to say, ‘so what, it’s just another day’.

I must admit I often despair of the consumerism of Valentine’s Day, but I love what it stands for. The reminder that having someone special in our lives is a gift. It’s a gift that someone chooses to share their life with you, the good times and the bad. They love you even when you look your worst, and love you when the world feels like it’s against you.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day I’ve released a Regency Romance, TO DARE THE DUKE OF DANGERFIELD, a $2.99 eBook on Amazon and through Smashwords, B&N, iBooks, All Romance etc. My heroine, Lady Caitlin Southall, needs my hero, Harlow Telford, Duke of Dangerfield, to show her that there is more to love than a cold stone mansion--him. Besides he’s eminently more satisfying.

First, in case you haven’t heard anything about the book yet, allow me to give you a little background. TO DARE THE DUKE OF DANGERFIELD is about Harlow and the daughter of his sworn enemy neighbour, Lady Caitlin Southall. Caitlin and Harlow are drawn together when Harlow wins Caitlin’s home in a card game with her father.

Caitlin does not know why there is such animosity between her father and Harlow, and no one will tell her. All she knows is that she should not feel what she does for the handsome rake. It’s most off putting. She has challenged him for the right to win her house back. She has to win two of the three wagers to avoid having to come to his bed. Why is it, when he turns his devilish smile her way, she wants to lose?

 Here is an excerpt from the book:-

 The woman slid off Dangerfield’s lap, smoothed her gown and then began to stroll around Caitlin, looking her over from top to bottom. “I have to find something you’re good at.”

Caitlin’s hopes soared. She was about to open her mouth to explain exactly what she was very good at when Marcus interrupted.

“Now, now, Larissa. You cannot ask Lady Southall questions that would give her an advantage. We must keep it fair.” And he laughed, as if the idea of Caitlin winning—fairly or otherwise—was a huge joke.

Caitlin had no intention of attempting to win by fraud. Nonetheless, she stood silently, praying Larissa would pick something like shooting or archery—things she excelled at. Please, she begged in her head, not sewing. Not playing the piano.

Meanwhile, Larissa was talking. “… she’s the daughter of an Earl. She must be accomplished. Harlow is always telling me how tedious it is to have to sit and listen to young ladies sing or play the harp.”

Caitlin agreed with Harlow about recitals. And please! please don’t pick those pursuits either.

“Still, she is dressed in male attire, and she sought out Harlow at night, so she is most likely not like most young women of the ton.”

Dangerfield’s face signified agreement. He cleared his throat and rose to his feet. “Very true.”

Yes, Larissa was clever. She’d have to be. Caitlin could not imagine a woman remaining as His Grace’s mistress for very long if she did not have a brain.

“So, perhaps I’m focusing on the wrong person.” Larissa turned a seductive smile upon Dangerfield. “All I have to do is find something that you, my darling Harlow, are terrible at doing.”

A flicker of unease crossed Dangerfield’s handsome face and he shifted on his feet. Only a slight movement, but Caitlin caught it. He was nervous. Good.

Larissa laughed delightedly and clapped her hands. “I’ve got it—”

“Remember who keeps you, my girl.”

“That’s not fair,” Caitlin cried. “You can’t threaten her. I can always veto, remember?”

“He’s only teasing.” Larissa moved to stand in front of Dangerfield. Letting her hands slide up his chest and over his wide shoulders she pressed her ample breasts against him. “He would never get rid of me.” Her fingers gripped his buttocks and pulled him tight against her.

Caitlin felt as though her eyes would pop as she watched one of Larissa’s hands slide over Dangerfield’s hip and down toward his groin.

“He knows the pleasure my body, my hands, and my mouth can give. I’m the best at what I do.” Larissa threw her a scornful look. “You don’t look as if you know the first thing about pleasuring a man. Perhaps I should help Harlow win. Once he’s had you, he’ll realize how much better off he is with me.”

“Enough, Larissa.” Dangerfield removed Larissa’s hands from his body. “That’s enough.”

It was certainly enough. Caitlin felt sick. Larissa was right. Hands and mouth? Mouth? What did she do with her mouth—kissing perhaps? She had no idea what to expect to find in any man’s bed—let alone a man like Dangerfield. And she did not wish to know.

Not much, anyway.
