THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
From Amanda’s website:
Baroness-in-her-own-right, Jenny Easdale is ready to accept her fate. She’s agreed to marry a man she will never love—yet not before slipping away for one last adventure. Following a traveling minstrel troupe, she’s whisked into a world of intoxicating freedom. Then, all too soon, she finds herself in danger—from a vengeful political plot against Scotland and from the man who has come to take her home.
Dutybound to return with his brother’s wayward bride, Sir Hugh Douglas is not prepared for how her quick wit, courage, and laughing eyes touch his warrior heart. Now, as the merry minstrels play matchmaker and passion sparks between Hugh and Jenny, the conspiracy against Scotland builds…and threatens all they hold dear.
Thanks to Anna at Hachette, I have permission to give out 5 copies of Tamed By a Laird by Amanda Scott.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
From Kate’s website:
One step away…
Seven years ago Beth Denison was attacked by a killer named Chevy Bankes. Since then, she’s created a new life for herself and her daughter, one far removed from the night that ended in an awful tragedy. But now Bankes is out of prison, and his chilling phone calls tell Beth he’s coming for her.
One breath away…
Ex-FBI agent Neil Sheridan is driven to investigate a chain of murders that are eerily similar to a disturbing case from his past. When the killer’s trail dead-ends at Beth’s doorstep, Neil finds a beautiful woman with a secret she’ll do anything to keep. Yet even as Beth surrenders to Neil’s protection – and then his embrace – she can’t tell him why Bankes hungers to hear her scream, and why she’ll soon consider doing the unthinkable: face Bankes alone.
Thanks to Anna at Hachette, I have permission to give out 5 copies of One Scream Away by Kate Brady.

Thanks to Amanda for donating a signed copy of The Diary of Cozette!
From Amanda’s website:
From poverty and life in a brothel, to her position as maidservant of an aristocratic family, Cozette learns that passion knows no status or wealth. When it comes to desire, all men are created equal. Not so easy to decipher however, are the secrets of the heart. For where passion and desire are fleeting, the heart continues to beat.
Along with the book, the winner will also get author swag and a bottle of “Wicked” lotion inspired by Jennifer Haymore’s book A Hint of Wicked! (Thanks to the various authors for donating the swag and Jennifer for the lotion!)
I’m limiting this to the US only due to shipping costs (sorry international readers). Since I’m sending it myself, PO Boxes are fine.

From Margaret’s website:
FEARLESS IN BATTLE
His surcoat still bloody from battle, William FitzAlan comes to claim the strategic borderlands granted to him by the king. One last prize awaits him at the castle gates: the lovely Lady Catherine Rayburn.
TENDER IN BED
Catherine risked everything to spy for the crown. Her reward? Her lands are declared forfeit and she is given this choice: marry FitzAlan or be taken to the Tower. Catherine agrees to give her handsome new husband her body, but she’s keeping secrets and dares not give him her heart. As passion ignites and danger closes in, Catherine and William must learn to trust in each other to save their marriage, their land, and their very lives.

Mailbox Monday is a weekly meme hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page.
Slow week for me, in a way.
I only received The Heir’s Convenient Wife by Myrna Mackenzie, through a contest on her website. I also received some goodies with it.
Along with that, I requested promo material from various authors, and the response has been pretty overwhelming. So, I received a bunch of promo material this week from a bunch of authors, and some did more and gave me books to give out here on the blog, so look for more upcoming giveaways, including the first three books in the Sons of Destiny novels by Jean Johnson, When You Believe by Jessica Inclan, The Diary of Cozette by Amanda McIntyre, and an ARC of Seduced By Shadows by Jessa Slade!
Also, I’ll be doing another Hachette giveaway when the one for Off Season ends. This time it’ll be for One Scream Away.
