I just couldn't wait to show this off! I LOVE this cover. I always love the covers Carrie creates for me, and I always love the latest one a little bit more than the one before. (Not that the characters need to hear that. Shh.)
I'm also including the latest blurb, so you can get a little more idea of what the book is about.
When Aphrodite plays matchmaker. . .
Society darling Lady Felicia Selby has been dubbed "Flighty Felicia", thanks to her penchant for eloping at least once a fortnight. But she has a good reason for such scandalous behavior: she's desperate to avoid the family curse, the one that promises dire consequences for failing to find her one true love. Discouraged by her latest disastrous elopement, Felicia gives up her quest, but a chance encounter with Aphrodite at a betrothal ball changes everything. Felicia falls instantly, deeply, head-over-heels in love. . . with the groom-to-be.
. . .true love can be a curse
Hugh Longford, Lord Weyson, earned the nickname of Lord Wastrel for many wicked reasons. Yet he gave up his roguish ways the day his illegitimate young daughter was delivered into his care. Determined to secure a bright future for his high-spirited child, Hugh has found the ideal woman to wed: scandal-free, a perfect role model, and someone he could possibly love one day. So why is he suddenly falling for Flighty Felicia? He's known her his entire life, but now, the rakish desire she incites threatens to disrupt his plans. It could almost make a man believe he had been cursed. . .
This book should be available soon. I'm shooting for February 43rd. LOL But if you're signed up for my newsletter, you'll find out as soon as it's available!
OH MY! I suddenly feel more interest in historicals... ;)

I second the "oh, my!" :) Love it!

Thanks, Sam! I love it too, and it's kinda different from other historical covers -- which is another reason I love it. LOL
Melissa, thanks! I love the "oh my"'s this is causing. LOL I thought he was rather eye-catching and had to have him for the cover. :)

The lips. You did that on purpose, right? Just so I'll stare and drool and my bib will be all wet and gross.

LOL, Eleanor -- those are some mighty fine lips, I agree. :) And thanks for licking the monitor -- I needed to clean it off. Oh wait. Never mind. LOL

Flighty Felicia sounds delicious!
However,that fella on the cover is a distraction ... he really should dress better than that! LOL

LOL, Quantum -- I guess he is a bit of a distraction. And his clothes are there somewhere, in the background. Oh, here they are--I've got them. :)
I've had so much fun with Felicia. She really is one of my fave heroines. Hope you'll enjoy her too!

Oh, wow! It looks like I've missed a few posts on your blog. I LOVE the cover (you know I am about guys with long hair, LOL). Between the blurb and the cover, I'm impatient for February 43rd to roll around :D
And I'm so glad you have a newsletter. I'm off to sign up now and add Lord Wastrel to my Goodreads list. It should be fun to see what chaos Aphrodite causes this time. :)
Let me know when you're ready for some promo on my blog!

Mae, I love the long hair too -- it's just so sexy! I'm anxious for February 43rd to get here too. LOL Although I'm worried it'll get here too fast. So I might have to stretch it out to February 56th. :)
Thanks for adding LW to Goodreads and signing up for the newsletter! I love visiting your blog -- so I'll definitely be in touch. In fact, I haven't read any Mythical Mondays for a while. I'm gonna dash over there now and get caught up. :)
