It's Wednesday, and I feel like giving something away. And have I ever got a treat for y'all! Two, count them, TWO, signed copies of Zoe Archer's Devil's Kiss--the very first book in her brand new, scorching hot, fast-paced historical romantic adventure Hell Raisers series.
The Hell Raisers are the ultimate bad boys: a group of 18th century rakes who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of pleasure--even if it costs them their souls! In the first book, which got the coveted Top Pick rating from RT Book Reviews, we meet...
A HANDSOME DEVIL
1762. James Sherbourne, Earl of Whitney, is a gambling man. Not for the money. But for the thrill, the danger—and the company: Whit has become one of the infamous Hellraisers, losing himself in the chase for adventure and pleasure with his four closest friends.
Which is how Whit finds himself in a gypsy encampment, betting against a lovely Romani girl. Zora Grey’s smoky voice and sharp tongue entrance Whit nearly as much as her clever hands—watching them handle cards inspires thoughts of another kind...
Zora can’t explain her attraction to the careless blue-eyed Whit. She also can’t stop him and his Hellraisers from a fiendish curse: the power to grant their own hearts’ desires, to chase their pleasures from the merely debauched to the truly diabolical. And if Zora can’t save Whit, she still has to escape him…
In addition to the fabulous signed copies of the book, I've also got two sets of Zoe's gorgeous Hell Raisers romance trading cards to give away! Keep reading to find out how to enter:

I could hardly drag myself out of my warm bed this morning. It's actually *cold* here in Austin! Like winter, almost! DO NOT LIKE. So to get myself revved up, I'm offering a sizzling hot read for our giveaway today: Model Marine by the fabulous Candace Havens!
Just take one look at that cover, and you will NEED to get your hands on it. Yum! And what's inside is just as sexy and delightful:
Subject: Captain Will Hughes, US Marine Corps Current Status: On assignment in NYC-suddenly recruited to shed the uniform! Mission: Serve as model, muse and man-toy without running afoul of the General. Obstacle: Hannah Harrington, fashion world It Girl.
Hannah narrowly escaped Fashion Week disaster by hijacking gorgeous Will for her runway show: after all, rock-hard abs are the ultimate accessory. His good deed nearly lands him in the brig, but he'll risk anything to get back into her bed....
Hannah can't figure out how this model Marine got under her skin-they're complete opposites! But sexy Will not only ignites her senses, he fuels her creativity: an irresistible combination, even if it can't last. Can two steamy weeks together satisfy their lust...or will they have to extend this mission?
If you've never read Candy's books before, or if you've never tried a Harlequin Blaze, this is the one to start with! Come and get it.

Changing gears a little for today's giveaway! I've got award-winning author Lauren Willig's first book in her popular swashbuckling romantic mystery series. The Secret History of the Pink Carnation was called "a deftly hilarious, sexy novel" by Eloisa James; Meg Cabot pronounced it "pure fun!" You definitely don't want to miss the book that started it all.
Nothing ever goes right for Eloise. The day she wears her new suede boots, it rains. When the subway stops short, she's the one thrown into some stranger's lap. And she's had her share of misfortune in the way of love. So, after deciding that romantic heroes must be a thing of the past, Eloise is ready for a fresh start.
Setting off for England, Eloise is determined to finish her dissertation on two spies, the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian. But what she discovers is something historians have missed: the secret history of the Pink Carnation-the most elusive spy of all time. As she works to unmask this obscure spy, Eloise has more and more questions. Like, how did the Pink Carnation save England from Napoleon? What became of the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian? And will Eloise Kelly escape her bad luck and find a living, breathing hero of her own?
I've got a signed copy right here, and this book would make the perfect holiday read!

It's going to be another fabulous week of free books here on my blog and Facebook page, so let's get it started off right! Today, I have the fantastic, amazing, gorgeous Gena Showalter's Intertwined. It's the first book in her hugely popular young adult paranormal series, and if you haven't read her, this is a great book to start with. She's a #1 New York Times bestselling author for a reason, y'all!
Most sixteen-year-olds have friends. Aden Stone has four human souls living inside him:
One can time-travel.
One can raise the dead.
One can tell the future.
And one can possess another human.
Everyone thinks he's crazy, which is why he's spent his entire life shuffled between mental institutions and juvie. All of that is about to change, however. For months Aden has been having visions of a beautiful girl - a girl who carries centuries old secrets. A girl who will either save him or destroy him.
Together they'll enter a dark world of intrigue and danger . . . but not everyone will come out alive.
I know, right?! You want it. Here's the deal:

Today I'm feeling extra generous, so I'm giving away a signed copy of the lovely Marie Bostwick's absolutely GORGEOUS new book, Threading the Needle. It's a big, beautiful trade paperback with fancy edges to the pages, French flaps (sounds naughty, right?) and a stunning cover. What's inside isn't too shabby either! The book tells the heartwarming story of a woman who loses everything--only to discover a brand new sisterhood and a wonderful new life thanks to her long lost childhood best friend.
The economic downturn has hit New Bern, Connecticut, and Tessa Woodruff's herbal apothecary shop, For the Love of Lavender, is suffering. So is her once-happy thirty-four-year marriage to Lee. They'd given up everything to come back to New Bern from Boston and start their business, but now they're wondering if they made the right decision. To relieve the strain, Tessa signs up for a quilting class at the Cobbled Court Quilt Shop, and to her surprise, rediscovers the power of sisterhood - along with the childhood friend she thought she'd lost forever...Madelyn Beecher left New Bern twenty years ago and never looked back. But when her husband is convicted of running a Ponzi scheme and she's left with nothing but her late grandmother's cottage, she is forced to return to the town she fled. Unfortunately, the cottage is in terrible shape. Madelyn's only hope is to transform it into an inn. But to succeed, she'll need the help of her fellow quilters, including the one friend she never thought she'd see again - or forgive. Now Madelyn and Tessa will have to relive old memories, forge new ones, and realize it's possible to start over, one stitch at a time - as long as you're surrounded by friends...
I know you all want to win this one! What could be better than friendship, forgiveness, and a little quilting? So check out the rules below:

Time for another giveaway! This time I've got Megan Hart's taut, emotional look at what it's like to live in a cult. Fascinating, no?
Here's the blurb:
In the midst of a chaotic midnight assembly, Sunshine is forced out into the darkness. Holding a scrap of paper scrawled with a stranger’s name and address, Sunny grasps the hands of her three small children and begins her escape.
Liesel Albright has dreamed of starting a family. She never bargained on inheriting one already in progress…or one so deeply damaged. When nineteen-year-old Sunshine appears on the Albright’s doorstep claiming Liesel’s husband Chris is her father, all they can think to offer is temporary shelter. The next day, they’re stunned by the news that the Family of Superior Bliss, led by a charismatic zealot, has committed mass suicide. Sunny and her children haven’t just left the compound–they’ve been left behind.
Now, instead of a baby of her own, Liesel must play mother to the four survivors while Chris retreats into guilt and denial. For Sunny, however, a lifetime of teachings is not easily unlearned. No matter how hard she tries to forget, an ominous catechism echoes in her mind, urging her to finish what the Family started.

This is my week to get into the spirit of the season--we're buying the tree, baking goodies, and hosting a couple of holiday parties in the next couple of weeks. With all that going on, I need a jump start! And what better way to get into the spirit than to give out gifts?
Today I'm offering up a copy of the hilarious, adorable Regency romp If You Give a Girl a Viscount, signed by author Kieran Kramer!
This is the fourth in her Impossible Bachelors series, and it might just be my favorite of all. To read an excerpt and watch a super cute book trailer, click here!
Here's what the book's all about:
All the single ladies want him. If life were a fairy tale, Daisy Montgomery’s stepmother and two stepsisters would surely be cast in the wicked roles. For years, they’ve made life miserable for Daisy. But when she discovers she has a godmother, she’s determined to ask her for help. Little did Daisy expect her godmother to play matchmaker with her very own grandson—who happens to be a viscount!
Is he ready to put a ring on it? A freewheeling playboy, Charles Thorpe, Viscount Lumley, is bored with his wealth-seeking female admirers. Not only that, he’s been cut off from the family coffers. One day, on a bet, he rids himself of what little money he has left in his pockets and vows to solve problems using his wits alone. But when the Impossible Bachelor is confronted with Daisy’s plan to save her castle, the payoff is more than he could have bargained for. Sometimes, if you give a girl a viscount, you just might find love….

HE’S FEELING THE HEAT
Sexy, single, and even sweeter than the treats he bakes, New York pastry chef Danny Lunden is trying to stay focused on food—not females.

They share a kiss hot enough to start a kitchen fire—and they’re hungry for more. To indulge their new secret craving, Eva and Danny have to break every rule in the cookbook. But—like chocolate and caramel—some ingredients areare so sinfully good together, one scrumptious bite is never enough...
