SYNOPSIS:

Some scars go further than skin deep…

1988 doesn’t end well for Jessica Abraham. In just one week she turns thirty, loses her day job, and loses the role of Ophelia to a younger actress. Rallying, she goes after a part at a theater outside of the city, but the director’s plan to hide her beauty behind hair, makeup, and wardrobe from Cosmo’s “Don't” column shakes her confidence to the core. For the first time in her acting career, she won’t be able to rely on her carefully managed physical charms. Only her craft will count. On a snowy night early in January 1989, a woman calls into DJ Callihan Alonso’s alt-rock radio show at the end of her commute. He asks her to call back the next night, and the next, just so he'll know she’s home safe. There's something about her voice that has him wanting more, but the longer they talk, the closer she gets. Compromising each and every wall he's built around his heart. If two lonely people fall in love over late-night phone calls, will meeting face-to-face make them, or break them?

In this heart-rending but happy-ending retro rom-com, it may be the end of a decade, but it’s the beginning of a love story.

Loving The Book Presents: Great Summer Reads; #CountdownBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #Giveaway





Marcia was born and raised in Argentina during the military regime which ended with the loss of many young lives in the invasion of the Falkland Islands. Amidst the devastating effects of military government and war, reading and writing became a passion which expanded and transported her imagination with the possibility of a brighter future.

Marcia was born and raised in Argentina during the military regime which ended with the loss of many young lives in the invasion of the Falkland Islands. Amidst the devastating effects of military government and war, reading and writing became a passion which expanded and transported her imagination with the possibility of a brighter future.

At the age of eighteen, she moved to the United States, where she studied English and started her own family. She soon discovered that the love she has for her husband and children would naturally unfold towards her European roots, leading her to become a genealogist and family historian. A decade of searching, compiling, and learning the stories of thousands of people has instilled in her a profound gratitude for the strong ties that can be achieved in families through personal sacrifice.

So it is that through fiction, Awaken explores and exposes the characteristics of true love and loyalty in times of fear, war, and finally, death. But perhaps the most captivating element in the story is the battle within the souls of the main characters as they search to know who they really are and how they are connected.

Could there exist a love powerful enough to overcome the grave?

Hard times during the Great Depression force nineteen-year-old Florence to leave her service at the monastery and seek employment. Fate brings her to work for a wealthy recluse, General Alexander Sterling. Despite many daunting events and a meddling housekeeper with dark secrets of her own, Florence and the General find themselves falling deeply in love.

What she doesn’t know is that General Sterling has left his native country escaping a painful past, one he yearns to forget. Destiny won’t allow it as he meets Florence, whose resemblance to his deceased wife is unbearable. Could Florence actually be the same woman who still owns his heart and haunts his dreams?

When their blossoming romance is shattered by an explosive truth, a mysterious stranger gives her an opportunity to go back in time to unlock the secret to her existence. Florence must strive to return to the present time to save their relationship from the imminent
 danger that awaits them.




Snippet:

After changing into riding clothes, I pressed my ear to the door, listening for any sound in the corridor. I wanted to avoid that man at all costs. Encouraged by the total silence, I ventured out.
I inhaled deeply and shut my eyes tightly for an instant, hoping that when I opened them he would’ve disappeared. No, of course not, luck left me the day he had set foot in Forte Radici.
General Sterling stood outside Lucca’s room facing my direction, his shoulder resting on the wall. Retreat was not possible—not if I wanted to keep my pride. At once I noticed that he wasn’t wearing his full military uniform. Instead, he had a white, long-sleeved shirt on, only buttoned halfway up. Why did this insufferable man have to be so handsome? I’m sure women swooned for him on a regular basis. He certainly had the air of one accustomed to charming his way to anything he wanted. He had another thing coming if he thought I would be so easily conquered. I put on my stone mask and braced for combat. 
“Are you holding the wall in place, Lieutenant?” I mocked, doing my best not to look at his unbuttoned shirt.
“No, I was waiting for you.”
“For me?” I feigned ignorance.
“See this?” He stretched his hand forward to show what he was holding.
“It’s a button.”
“It fell off my shirt.” He pointed to the empty spot where it had fallen from. I stared at the button blankly. “Can you sew it on for me?”
“I beg your pardon.” I couldn’t believe what he had just asked. “That’s a maid’s job, not mine,” I answered in a disgusted tone. Who did he think he was? More importantly, who did he think I was?
“You don’t know how to sew,” he challenged with a chuckle.
“Of course, I do. That doesn’t mean I would ever consider the outrageous idea of sewing a button on someone else’s clothes,” I sputtered, “especially not yours.”
“You must not know how to sew, for if you did, it would be a pleasure for you to do it for me,” he bragged, totally convinced of his ridiculous statement.
“It must be the war,” I whispered, answering my question from this morning.
Smoothly, General Sterling positioned his body in front of me forcing me into the wall. “No, it’s not because of the war, Miss Contini, nor was I born simple-minded. I assure you, I’m very intelligent.”
“That’s debatable, Lieutenant.”
“Stop calling me Lieutenant,” he demanded, and placed his hands on the wall on each side of me. I was trapped.
            “Not a chance.” I gave him a challenging smile.
“I shall make you then,” he whispered in my ear.
“I’d like to see you try, Lieutenant.”

Book Haven Promos Presents: Highland Pursuits by Emmanuelle deMaupassant; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #Sale, #Giveaway


Emmanuelle de Maupassant is thrilled to announce the launch of her saucy 1920s romance romp: 'Highland Pursuits’.

highland-pursuits-a-scottish-romance-by-emmanuelle-de-maupassant


In celebration, Emmanuelle is not only offering three signed paperback copies, via Goodreads here, but has her entire catalogue on sale for 99c/99p from March 1st-8th: Baby Love, Scarlet, Cautionary Tales and Gentlemen's Club (as recommended by Stylist Magazine)



1920s debutante Lady Ophelia Finchingfield is banished to wildest Scotland to come to her senses, having refused a proposal from the Earl of Woldershire. In the care of her eccentric grandmother, Ophelia is soon caught between rugged widower Hamish and the villainous Comte de Montefiore.



She’s ready to play with fire, but will she burn more than her fingers?


What readers are saying:

I can’t tell you how much I love this book. It was a true delight to read. The author has captured 1920s Britain wonderfully, and her detail is exquisite. – Rachel De Vine


As a comedy of manners, this is exceptionally well done. – Fionna Guillaume


Highland Pursuits is a wry, clever, incredibly sexy romp… a completely engrossing, utterly enjoyable read. I can't recommend it highly enough…fabulously fun - Malin James

The scene was set beautifully… I felt like I went back in time to high society Scotland - Christine of Sweet and Spicy Reads

Find 'Highland Pursuits' on Goodreads and for sale on Amazon



Emmanuelle sends enormous thanks to her editor, Adrea Kore, for her help in bringing ‘Highland Pursuits’ into the world. She says: ‘Adrea is an incredibly talented writer, and a wonderful friend. Her editing skills helped bring the words alive. She is a marvel and I'm so glad that one day, forever ago, we found each other.’

'Highland Pursuits' draws inspiration from a short story of the same title Emmanuelle wrote originally for the charity fundraising anthology Because Beards: all proceeds have been given to the Movember Foundation.


This longer, novella, length offers more scope to explore the wonderful characters' eye-popping shenanigans. Hamish and Ophelia were in Emmanuelle’s dreams for many weeks, as she wrote this story.
