Look at my cover for The Spurned Viscountess. Isn’t it pretty?
Here’s the blurb:
She must marry him.
Cursed with the sight and rumors of witchcraft, Rosalind’s only chance at an ordinary life is marriage to Lucien, Viscount Hastings. She doesn’t expect love, only security and children of her own. Determined to go through with the wedding, she allows nothing she encounters at the gloomy Castle St. Clare to dissuade her.
He wants nothing to do with her.
Recently returned from the Continent, Lucien has no time for the English mouse his family has arranged for him to marry, not when he’s plotting to avenge the murder of his beloved Francesca. He has no intention of bedding Rosalind, not even to sire an heir.
Dark secrets will bind them.
Though spurned by her bridegroom, Rosalind turns to him for protection when she is plagued by a series of mysterious accidents and haunted by terrifying visions. Forced to keep Rosalind close, and tempted into passionate kisses, Lucien soon finds himself in grave danger of falling in love with his own wife…
The Spurned Viscountess is due out on 20 September at Carina Press.

This cover is absoutely beautiful, Shelley. The Carina cover artists do great work. I love the blurb too. Is this erotic? It sounds fantastic.

Thank you all so much! I loved this cover at first sight.
Kaye – no, this book is sensual rather than erotic. It’s actually a rerelease, but I rewrote heaps during the edit stage. It’s a totally different book from The Second Seduction, and I’m really proud of this version.

Title, blurb and cover tie together beautifully. I love the detail of the dress. Maybe that’s what I’m loving about all the Carina covers–that bit extra.

It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love her dress and the way he stands in the shadows. I even love the squiggly bits under the title. :)
Carina’s art department are doing an incredible job!
