The Last Lady B is available for pre-order now digitally and in print!
But if you’d like this gorgeous hardcover – with custom-illustrated endpapers and pretty sprayed edges – it won’t be available in stores or through online vendors! It will ONLY be available via JQ Editions Historical Romance Subscription Box, and only for a VERY limited time.
More information is on the JQ Editions Kickstarter page, and on this FAQ: How can I get The Last Lady B special hardcover edition?
Ladies in Waiting, featuring my novella, Sense, Sensibility, and Snapdragons is available now! You can read an excerpt here and then order your copy in audio, eBook, and print.
Get ready to fall in love with my plucky heroine and the oh-so-romantic viscount next door, her best friend from childhood. I should mention that Snapdragons is sweet rather than sultry, so this would make a great gift if there’s a young Jane Austen-lover in your life!
If you’d like a signed copy of Ladies in Waiting, you’re in luck! The Jane Austen Society will host an author panel on November 13th at 7:00pm at The Ripped Bodice, Brooklyn. You can find tickets and more information here. Please join us if you’re free!
Chirp is offering great deals on three fairy tales: The Duke is Mine, When Beauty Tamed the Beast and A Kiss at Midnight. What’s more, if you haven’t read the Wilde family novels, the first in the series, Wilde in Love, is also on sale! This sale ends in 5 days so get these deals while you still can!
There’s certainly no rule that historical romance covers must feature half naked men and fluffy dresses. Given the originality of The Last Lady B (which happens to be my first near-Gothic!), my publishers wanted an appropriately fresh look, so we asked the talented illustrator Jason Raish to dream up a sassy lady.
Without further ado… THE COVER!
You can preorder your copy of The Last Lady B right here!
On another note: Somehow, nearly a million people have watched my video about Taylor Swift & Shakespeare. If you happened to be one of them, thank you so much! It was so popular I even sat down with Newsweek about Taylor’s Shakespearean inspiration as well.
If you haven’t already watched it, you can find it on both Tiktok and Instagram!
The book that launched Eloisa’s career, Potent Pleasures, book 1 in her Pleasure series, is now on ebook sale for $1.99 until Aug. 31.
Reckless desire sends Charlotte Daicheston into the garden with a dashing masked stranger. He’s powerful, unforgettable, a devastatingly handsome footman who lures her–not against her will–into a grand indiscretion at a masquerade ball. Then he vanishes.
ENJOY an excerpt, read the reviews, then order you copy in your favorite e-reader format before the sale ends!
BOOK EXTRAS: Hear Eloisa read from the book,
GET THE INSIDE TAKE: Eloisa says: “I started writing Potent Pleasures when I was on sabbatical from my job (being a Shakespeare professor). I worked on my academic book during the day and then wrote Potent Pleasures in the late afternoons, just before picking up my young son at daycare.” Learn more.
Triple your pleasure! The first books to launch Eloisa’s career have brand-new, darling ebook covers.
The Pleasure series are her most heart-wrenching stories. Eloisa wept buckets writing them…and readers wept along with her. Each of these books has won a place as a reader favorite.
Alex (in Potent Pleasures) can be so harsh that it’s a pleasure to hate him–and then adore him when he realizes his mistakes; Sophie (in Midnight Pleasures) makes us weep and laugh with her—she’s Eloisa’s first bad-girl heroine; Gabbie (in Enchanting Pleasures) is happily plump and has to dump her first fiancé to find a man who loves her lush figure.
If you haven’t read these novels, treat yourself and buy them today!
