Dara Girard's Romance

(Though I don't read as much contemporary romance as I once did,

 Dara Girard's 3 & 4 book series are ones I often turn to when needing

a palate cleansing of paranormals. Her character's are always engaging and 

the storylines entertaining.  I thought I'd share this newsletter from her.

If you are looking for a new favorite author to try in 2012, I guarantee 

you won't be disappointed.)

Dear Readers, Just in time for the holidays I have a lot of treats to share with you.

Now Available! GAINING INTEREST Aspiring lingerie designer Adriana Travers has a weakness for bad boys”not practical, plodding men like her financial  advisor Eric Henson. Sheâ's only interested in him  handling her financial affairs. Affairs of the heart, however,  are completely off limits. Eric Henson agrees. Women like Adriana are not in his plan.  After spending years working his way up the business ladder,  he wants to marry a woman who will keep him on the right  path—not prove a distraction. But one night changes everything. When Adriana treats him to a night out for his birthday,  Eric starts to see Adriana in a sexy new way that just might  upset all his carefully laid plans. And Adriana sees a wicked  side to Eric that makes her heart pound. Soon Sheâ'll discover  that when it comes to being bad, Eric's a lot more than he  seems.

New Release At last THE DAUGHTERS OF WINSTON BARNETT is here! “Pride and Prejudice meets Fiddler on the Roof with a Jamaican-American twist.” Meet the Barnett sisters: Faithful, good natured Beverly; headstrong, ambitious Janet; bookish, droll Francine; silly but sweet Trudy and bold, reckless Maxine.
