VBT: In the Arms of a Marquess & Giveaway

Image
Reader Girls is hosting the Virtual Book Tour today for In the Arms of a Marquess by Katharine Ashe and run by Goddess Fish Promotions. B lurb: Miss Octavia Pierce is witty, well-off…and shockingly unwed. Still, she is far too successful in society to remain on the shelf forever, and her family has hopes that Octavia will finally make the perfect match. What they don’t know is that years earlier Octavia was scandalously tempted by the one man capable of sweeping her off her feet-the man now known as the Marquis of DoreĆ©. A third son, never meant to inherit, Lord Ben DoreĆ© has abandoned his past and grown accustomed to his illustrious new position of wealth and power. But he has never forgotten Octavia, and now she desperately needs his help in a most dangerous, clandestine matter.

Paperback: 356 pages Publisher: CreateSpace (April 1, 2011) Blurb: Snarling teeth, glowing eyes. Someone--something--is after her. The man who haunts her dreams enters her reality, claiming she's transforming into a changeling--not quite immortal but no longer human. Battle lines are drawn and blood spills as the two fight not only for her life, but for mankind's as well. Review: Fierce Dawn is three hundred and fifty six pages of sheer awesome!
