Historical Fiction Book Giveaway!

Sourcebooks contacted me today to say they had an extra copy of Sins of the House of Borgia, by Sarah Bower, for one of History Undressed's lucky readers!!!

The book will be published next month, but you'll have a chance to have it in your hot little hands before then!

Book Info...

Violante isn’t supposed to be here, in one of the grandest courts of Renaissance Italy. She isn’t supposed to be a lady-in-waiting to the beautiful Lucrezia Borgia. But the same secretive politics that pushed Lucrezia’s father to the Vatican have landed Violante deep in a lavish landscape of passion and ambition.



Violante discovers a Lucrezia unknown to those who see only a scheming harlot, and all the whispers about her brother, Cesare Borgia, never revealed the soul of the man who dances close with Violante.

But those who enter the House of Borgia are never quite the same when they leave—if they leave at all. Violante’s place in history will test her heart and leave her the guardian of dangerous secrets she must carry to the grave.

Leave a comment with your email address!  I will draw the winner randomly tomorrow.

Cheers!

    I love Italian Medieval/Renaissance settings. The locale is terribly untapped. And the Borgias are an interesting family, just as the Medicis are in my Italian medievals. This book will definitely go on my tbr list.

    Your cover is beautiful!

    It sounds like you had to do quite a bit of research for this book, Eliza. I love that kind of historical!

    Wishing you many sales.

    "I stared at the cover of the book with first shock,then disbelief.

    'An historical novel about the Borgia family? Who would even dare? Who would have the courage to tell the Borgia story with all their sins and desires'?

    I felt my face suddenly grow hot. My lips become dry. Suddenly, the room became unbearably close. I needed air. I knew then what was hard to admit: I wanted that book.

    I wanted to run my hands over the smooth cover and slowly spread open the pages..."

    Please enter me before I actually start believing I can write!
