I’m delighted to inform you, gentle readers, that my
August Regency historical, THE
SMUGGLER AND THE SOCIETY BRIDE, is now available! SMUGGLER
is Book 3 of an exciting miniseries, REGENCY
SILK & SCANDAL. Three friends and rival spymasters,
two scandalous affairs, one murder, and an innocent man hanged
on the testimony of his best friend set the stage for the
next generation to try to solve the mystery of the murder
and redeem lives shattered by disgrace. SMUGGLER
features an earl’s disgraced daughter, Lady Honoria
Carlow, and ex-army-captain-turned-temporary-smuggler, Gabriel
Hawksworth.
Now for a brief description:
Earl’s daughter Lady Honoria Carlow flees
London after a scandalous disgrace to take refuge with her
aunt in Cornwall and try to figure out who engineered her
ruin and why. There, she encounters handsome Irishman Gabe
Hawksworth, known locally as “the Hawk,” who is
temporarily captaining a smuggling vessel as a favor for the
army friend who saved his life. Though her family would be
appalled at her attraction to a “low-born free trader,”
there’s something about the well-spoken Gabe that calls out
to the free-spirited Honoria, even as Gabe wonders about the
unexpected appearance of this mysterious beauty. Until an
attraction that should never have been becomes a compulsion
too strong for either of them to resist!
“An engaging addition to the Silk
& Scandal miniseries.”
Kathe Robin, Romantic Times Magazine
Most unusally, the REGENCY
SILK & SCANDAL miniseries is being released simultaneously
in North America and the UK. However, the UK books are trade-size
paperbacks that include extra material. For SMUGGLER,
this “something extra” includes a “Dear
Reader” letter and an excerpt from the journal of Lady
Narborough, mother of heroine Lady Honoria Carlow, along with
an author interview and a 2-page excerpt from Gayle Wilson’s
exciting return to the historical genre, September’s
Book 4 of the miniseries, CLAIMING
THE FORBIDDEN BRIDE.
These unique editions are sold out in many locales, but for
a special prize in this month’s website contest, I’m
offering one entrant a copy of the UK edition of SMUGGLER.
Also new on the website are an excerpt, character sketches
for Gabe and Honoria, photos of the locale and some research
bits that went into the creation of their story. Stop by www.juliajustiss.com
to check out the features, and don’t forget to enter
the contest for your chance to win the extra-features edition
of SMUGGLER!
