Time For A Cover Reveal!

Today I'm excited to show off the cover for my upcoming release, A Reckless Heart.

This one has a funny story connected to it. As an author with a publisher, when I submit my manuscript to my editor, I also fill out a cover art form, telling the art department what my book is about and what I’m looking for in a cover. Ultimately, I don’t get much of a say, but this form is where I pour my vision out—what the hero and heroine look like in my head (if I even want them on the cover), what the setting is (in this case, setting is super important and I’m so glad they featured it here), taglines, etc. And then I wait.

Well, in case you haven't noticed, I’m not the most patient person, but I tried really hard not to bother them. They have a lot of authors to deal with, and I don’t like being annoying. But finally, I couldn’t wait any longer and I asked my editor when I might possibly get to see my cover. For what it's worth, seeing my cover is one of my very favorite things about publishing books. Turns out, they’d sent me the cover almost two months prior, only I never received it, thanks to email glitches on both sides. Needless to say, the comment period had long expired. Luckily, I LOVED what the artist created. 

 

What do you think of it?

 

To whet your appetite for the story, here’s the blurb: 

 

Meg Thurgood, former society girl, took the blame for her friend and paid a steep price. Now all she wants is solitude and a chance to rebuild her life. She thinks she's found that in an isolated house she rents from a mysterious stranger.

Simon McAlter has hidden in his house on the coast of Maine since a fire left him scarred. A successful landscape architect who conducts his business and teaches his classes remotely, he's lost his inspiration and is trying to pretend he's not lonely. 

Simon's new neighbor is more than he bargained for. When he learns Meg's secret, will he retreat into the shadows or will he learn to see past the surface and trust in Meg's love? 

 

As I like to say, it’s a little bit like the Kardashians meet Beauty & The Beast. 

 

The book is up for preorder, and I’d love you to grab it now!

PS. Kristan Higgins loved one of the lines in this book, but that's a story for another day. It had to do with zucchini bread.
