New covers revealed! Squeee!!!

Dearest Readers,

I have a big announcement to make! I've decided to enter into the same arena as so many of my talented author friends.  My next two books in the Fiery Tales series will be self-published---and oh so special!!  Just check out the covers!  (Available in both e-book and print form!)  I'm so excited about these upcoming novels.  These are two of the most emotionally charged books I've ever written.  And yes, you can count on more of my signature hot carnal encounters.  *grins*


Coming 2012:  THREE RECKLESS WISHES

Sexy rake, Luc de Moutier, gets his own book in the fairy tale retelling, THREE RECKLESS WISHES. (And he's just as carnally gifted as his older brother, Jules). You'll definitely want to read A MIDNIGHT DANCE before this. Won't say why . . . Just sayin' ;)  

I intend to scandalize you some more in THREE RECKLESS WISHES. Consider yourself warned. This is one historical hook up you DON'T want to miss! (cover design by the fab Kim Killion, Hot Damn Designs)



THREE RECKLESS WISHES
A Fiery Tale
Historical Romance
 

Inspired by Charles Perrault’s classic fairy tale, Three Wishes, Lila DiPasqua delivers a new spellbinding historical romance in the acclaimed Fiery Tales Series . . . A scorching tale of redemption and undeniable desire.

An Untamable Allure . . .
Luc de Moutier, Marquis of Fontenay is haunted by the writings of a dead woman. He is the subject of her romantic interest. Obsessed with her journal, he can’t stop thinking about the sweetly sensual words of the late Isabelle Laurent. Though he’d never noticed her watching him from afar, he now compares every woman to the innocent enchantress who invades his thoughts and most luscious dreams . . .

A Guarded Secret . . .
The old Isabelle is dead. Sought after by the most powerful men in the realm, Isabelle has her choice of wealthy lovers. Her only goals are to provide for her young son, and to maintain the ruse of her demise. Three reckless wishes led her down the path she now walks. And there is no turning back. She allows her heart’s yearnings to show only on the pages of her anonymously published books. Charming and witty, she dons her social mask each day, her performance unshakable until the very man of her long-held private dreams walks into her life—and shakes the foundations of her carefully crafted world.

An Unexpected Ecstasy. . .
When Luc meets the beautiful courtesan, she captures his fascination. He’s determined to know the woman behind the façade. To deliciously decimate her defenses, show her true passion and the depths of his desire—one exquisite carnal encounter at a time . . . But soon he discovers books written in a style all too familiar to him . . . a deadly enemy looming near . . . and a passion as perilous as it is perfect.




Want more Fiery Tales in 2012?  
No problem!  
How about a Rapunzel retelling?


UNDONE
A Fiery Tale
Historical Romance
April 2012

Inspired by the tale of Rapunzel, Lila DiPasqua offers a new steamy, emotionally charged historical romance in the acclaimed Fiery Tales Series . . . Rescuing this beauty from the ‘tower’ is only the beginning . . .

Maintaining her ruse as a commoner, and trusting no one has kept Angelica safe. But a chance encounter with a handsome stranger lands her right where danger lies. Now, this sinfully handsome man with arresting blue eyes and a polished manner thinks he’s saved her life, when in fact he’s placed her in great peril. She’s intent on keeping him and everyone else at arm’s length. Yet, the smoldering attraction between them is difficult to deny. And impossible to ignore . . . 


As commander of a number of privateer ships, Simon Boulenger dresses and speaks like an aristocrat, and has obtained wealth. But he is still not a noble. Or an officer in the King’s Navy. His lifelong dream to elevate himself from his station of birth and attain a respectable place in society is dead. Worse, he’s ensnared in a deadly scheme, and must get out. But how is he to stay focused on his dangerous mission when the mysterious beauty has him utterly intrigued? He can’t afford the distraction any more than he can resist the carnal hunger she stirs. Simon soon discovers that she’s not only a passionate soul mate, but a woman born into privilege. A woman he can never have. But they’re in too deep. Their hearts are at risk . . . as well as their lives.



THE MAKINGS OF GREAT COVERS . . .

Kim Killion created these, just for fun, so you can see the elements that went into the making of the stunning THREE RECKLESS WISHES and UNDONE covers.
