Дебютный роман. Amy Raby

Так мне понравилась обложка, что я ее решила дважды пропиарить.
Наслаждайтесь красотой.


Фото взято с личного сайта писательницы. Это ее дебютная книга.

Vitala Salonius, champion of the warlike game of Caturanga, is as deadly as she is beautiful. She’s a trained assassin for the resistance, and her true play is for ultimate power. Using her charm and wit, she plans to seduce her way into the emperor’s bed and deal him one final, fatal blow, sparking a battle of succession that could change the face of the empire.
As the ruler of a country on the brink of war and the son of a deposed emperor, Lucien must constantly be wary of an attempt on his life. But he’s drawn to the stunning Caturanga player visiting the palace. Vitala may be able to distract him from his woes for a while—and fulfill other needs, as well.
Lucien’s quick mind and considerable skills awaken unexpected desires in Vitala, weakening her resolve to finish her mission. An assassin cannot fall for her prey, but Vitala’s gut is telling her to protect this sexy, sensitive man. Now she must decide where her heart and loyalties lie and navigate the dangerous war of politics before her gambit causes her to lose both Lucien and her heart for good.…

He came to steal her jewels,
but stole her heart instead...

Welcome to a world of scandal, intrigue, betrayal and romance—Lady Julia Leighton's world. There are forbidden passions, a love triangle, and deep, dangerous secrets of every kind.
Just a year or so ago, Julia was a lovely earl's daughter, celebrating her betrothal to David, the Duke of Temberlay and set for a life of elegance and luxury.
But at her betrothal ball, she meets a stranger, a man who makes her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world—and when your fiancé thinks of you more as a little sister than a bride, that kind of attention can certainly turn a lady's head.
Thomas Merritt is a thief with a secret past of his own. He attended Julia's betrothal ball to steal her jewels, but ended up leaving with far more, utterly bewitched by the beautiful, innocent Lady Julia. After their one glorious evening together, Thomas leaves London, knowing he can never be part of her world again.



Августовская новинка от Дженнифер Эстеп, девятая книга в серии


 When a terror from the past threatens Gin’s friend and body-disposer, Sophia, Gin will stop at nothing to protect her, even if it means walking straight into a killer’s trap. Meanwhile, the rocky romance between Gin and Owen reaches a turning point—can they reunite and rekindle their love? Or will the things Gin has been forced to do in her line of work as the deadly assassin the Spider keep them apart forever? Assuming, that is, she survives long enough to find out…


Смешная обложка и смешное название

Ellis Garrett is dumping her critical boyfriend, opening a plus-size clothing store, and starting a blog—all to spread the word that fashion shouldn’t require a size-two body, and happiness should allow for the occasional cupcake. Or two. But is indulging fantasies about her sister’s long-ago ex, the still-hunky Michael Edwards, biting off more than she can chew?
Mike must be losing his detective’s touch. He doesn’t recognize Ellis when he bumps into her at Size Me Up, and he certainly doesn’t remember his ex-girlfriend’s outspoken sister being so irresistible. Her curves are indeed dangerous—and so is her wit. Could it be that Ellis is his Perfect Fit? One thing’s for sure: Mike will make it his sworn duty to find out…

Создание обложки. Арлекин + Холостяк

Вам знакомо шоу "Холостяк"?
Я премного наслышана.
Наслышана настолько, что в курсе, что в первом сезоне украинского "Холостяка", Чмерковский не выбрал Яну Соломко. А во втором сезоне был какой-то чувак примазывающийся к дому Романовых.
Вернемся к созданию обложек.

Издательство Арлекин предложило участникам американского шоу "Холостяк" поучаствовать в фотосессии.
Победившая девушка получила контракт на 3 реальные обложки от издательства Арлекин.
Кто вы думаете победил?
Конечно же, профессиональная модель.
Вот вся их разношерстная компания


А теперь фото победительницы и три лучшие фотографии со съемки.
Поясню, что обложки не настоящие и в продаже мы их не увидим.

Победительница
Вот если бы она рот закрыла и не улыбалась так криво...

Лучшие фотографии
Мне нравиться, но понравилось бы еще больше, если бы балкона было меньше...


А где же страсть?

Мне нравиться верхняя часть. И нижняя. Но по отдельности.

Дебютный роман. Jennifer Delamare

Jennifer Delamare громко заявила о себе дебютным романом.


A youthful indiscretion has cost Lizzie Poole more than just her honor. After five years living in exile, she’s finally returning home, but she’s still living a secret life. Her best friend Ria’s dying wish was for Lizzie to assume her identity, return to London, and make amends that Ria herself would never live to make. Bearing a striking resemblance to her friend, and harboring more secrets than ever before, Lizzie embarks on a journey that tempts her reckless heart once again . . .

A committed clergyman, Geoffrey Somerville’s world is upended when he suddenly inherits the title of Lord Somerville. Now he’s invited to every ball and sought after by the matchmaking mothers of London society. Yet the only woman to capture his heart is the one he cannot have: his brother’s young widow, Ria. Duty demands he deny his feelings, but his heart longs for the mysterious beauty. With both their futures at stake, will Lizzie be able to keep up her façade? Or will she find the strength to share her secret and put her faith in true love?
