Welcome to day five of
March SWEET Madness—a month long party to celebrate the upcoming release of my
novel, SWEET
MADNESS, available April 2, 2013.
I am thrilled to continue
this fun event with the incredible Sherry Thomas. My idol, Lisa Kleypas, says
this about Sherry: “Sherry Thomas is the
most powerfully original historical romance author writing today.” Just in
case you needed more than my word ;)
It was tough to decide which book to feature today, so I decided to go with the first in her most recent trilogy (for those of you who can’t stand to start in the middle of a series!). I hope you enjoy Beguiling the Beauty.
Here is what the book
is about:
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—a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He
falls hard and fast—and soon proposes marriage.
And then she disappears without a trace…
For in reality, the “baroness” is Venetia Easterbrook—a 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—and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked…

Sweet Enemy
Beakers and ball gowns don't mix, so when lady
chemist, Miss Liliana Claremont, goes undercover as a husband-hunter to
investigate Lord Geoffrey Wentworth, the earl whose family she suspects
murdered her father, romance isn't part of her formula. But it only takes one
kiss to start a reaction she can't control...

Sweet Deception
Lady criminologist, Miss Emma Wallingford, unknowingly finds herself tangled up in the dangerous final mission of Lord Derick Aveline, a spy who also happens to be her long-lost first love. But when deception, however sweet, is the name of the game, no one can be trusted. And every love--and every life--is at risk.

And don’t forget SWEET MADNESS,
coming April 2, 2013!
There’s a fine line between love and insanity…
Ever since her husband’s sudden and tragic
death, Lady Penelope Bridgeman has committed herself to studying the maladies
of the mind, particularly treating traumatized soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars.
It is this expertise that brings the Marquess of Bromwich’s family to her door.
Gabriel Devereaux’s unexpected and
unpredictable episodes are unlike any Penelope has studied. The once proud
soldier has been left shaken and withdrawn, but she manages to build a fragile
trust between them. Strangely, Gabriel seems completely lucid when not in the
grips of his mania, and in the calm between bouts, she is surprised by how much
she is drawn to him.
Despite his own growing feelings, Gabriel knows
that he is fit for no one, and is determined to keep Penelope away from his
descent into madness. But even though she knows firsthand the folly of loving a
broken man, Penelope cannot stop herself from trying to save him, no matter the
cost.
