Note: The blurb for\u00a0Beguiling the Beauty<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0has been fixed.<\/p>\n

I keep cover pictures that I haven’t yet posted to all possible venues on my laptop desktop. \u00a0And for some reason, although every horizontal surface in my house is covered with stuff and I am usually blithely unaware of the clutter, I am very, very neat electronically. \u00a0I rarely allow my email inboxes to contain more than 15 entries, and once the number of covers on my electronic desktop reaches a certain critical mass, well, here comes a post. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Two years ago, I did a post here called Red Dress-Off<\/a>. \u00a0The idea came about as Meredith and I each had a book with a red dress on the cover coming out around the same time. \u00a0Guess what? \u00a0I’ve another red dress cover, for Beguiling the Beauty<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg aboard a transatlantic ocean liner, he is fascinated. She is exactly what he has been searching for\u2014a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He falls hard and fast\u2014and soon proposes marriage.<\/em><\/p>\n

And then she disappears without a trace\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

For in reality, the \u201cbaroness\u201d is Venetia Easterbrook\u2014a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised\u2014and there\u2019s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


\n<\/a>Meredith does not have a red-dress cover coming out in 2012. \u00a0What she does have, however, is just as synchronicitous.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wish I could find a bigger picture for At Your Pleasure<\/em><\/strong>.<\/del>\u00a0 (Meredith has kindly provided a large pic.) \u00a0But as you can see, these covers are totally twins separated at birth. \u00a0If only one of them were leaning the other way–they’d make a perfect set to display on the wall.<\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/p>\n

Glittering court socialites and underworld cutpurses agree: Adrian Ferrers, Earl of Rivenham, is the most dangerous man in London. Rivenham will let nothing\u2014not the deepening shadow of war; not the growing darkness within him\u2014interfere with his ambition to restore his family to its former glory. But when tasked by the king to uncover a traitor, he discovers a conspiracy\u2014and a woman whose courage awakens terrible temptations. To save her is to risk everything. To love her might cost his life.<\/em><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lady Sarah Percy knows that Rivenham is the devil in beautiful disguise\u2014and that the dark attraction between them is as dangerous as the nightmare in which her family is trapped. But when war breaks out, she has no choice but to place her trust in her dearest enemy\u2014and hope that love does not become the weapon that destroys them both\u2026<\/em><\/div>\n

Now a bunch of foreign covers.<\/p>\n

First up, The Duke of Shadows<\/strong><\/em> in complex Chinese. \u00a0Is that not a gorgeous cover? \u00a0Somehow it escaped my detection during the Duran foreign covers omnibus hunt. \u00a0I can excuse myself for that oversight, since Meredith herself didn’t know this edition existed. \u00a0The title in Chinese is less The\u00a0Duke of Shadows<\/em>, but more The Duke of Illusions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vietnamese Private Arrangements<\/strong><\/em>. I am again labeled as a New York Times bestselling author. Well, if you say if often enough… \ud83d\ude42 (Update: Finally got around to Google Translate. \u00a0The title in Vietnamese is Covenant of Destiny, which is totally awesome. \u00a0Might be my favorite title, foreign or domestic.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

French His at Night<\/strong><\/em>. Title translates to The One I’ve Been Waiting For<\/em>, which I like very much.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And last, but not at all the least, comes Slovene<\/strong>\u00a0Not Quite a Husband<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0I’m not sure what’s going on with the hands, but once I realized that the dress was see through, I couldn’t pay attention to the hands at all. \u00a0Am I witnessing a miraculous piece of Brazilian waxing? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
