I can’t believe it’s Thursday already! Today’s the third day in my celebration of getting a publication deal with Carina Press. (And getting pregnant, but Carina can’t take credit for that one.)
But before I tell you what I’m giving away, here’s a video I took last weekend when I was in Glasgow, Scotland. It was St. Andrew’s Day (the patron saint of Scotland), and there were celebrations in Glasgow city center. This video has absolutely nothing to do with the giveaway or what I write, but I thought I’d post it as entertainment for those of you who like kilts, pipers, the cry of “Freedom!” in a Scottish accent, or the song “We Will Rock Ye.”
Now on to the giveaway! Today I’m giving away Alison Packard‘s debut novel Love in the Afternoon, which will be released on December 17th (note: I’ll buy it for the winner when it is published). Yay! A chance to try out a brand-spankin’-new author before she loses that new-author smell!
Love in the Afternoon by Alison Packard
Kayla Maxwell is eager to shed her slasher-flick bimbo image–and she plans to do just that in her new role on daytime’s most popular soap. With a chance to showcase her dramatic range, Kayla will be able to wash away the lingering betrayal and public humiliation left by her controlling, philandering ex-boyfriend.
Sean Barrett, the son of an influential, award-winning actor, is the hottest soap star in the country. Paired on-screen with the talented and beautiful Kayla Maxwell, Sean is determined to keep her at arm’s length, burned before by fame-seeking actresses who had no qualms about using him to get to his famous father.
But when Kayla receives threatening letters, her past as a scream queen seems to be coming back to haunt her. Succumbing to an attraction neither one of them can deny, Sean and Kayla must face down her stalker and their own personal demons before trusting what they both feel–a love that lasts long after the cameras stop rolling.
