Crippled after a riding accident, shy heiress Aurelia
Newbold shuns Society--until a dashing stranger draws her into a secret waltz
and awakens desires she has long thought dead. After a year abroad to regain
her health, she comes home to find the one man she’s been dreaming of--now an
earl--engaged to the one woman she would never betray: her beloved twin sister.
One night James Trelawney took pity on a girl he saw as a
wounded bird. Now the Earl of Trevanan, he is not prepared for the vibrant
woman who returns to London, intent on reclaiming her life. Nor is he prepared
for his growing desire for that woman--especially after he has proposed
marriage to her dazzling twin.
As the scene shifts from London's glittering ballroom to
Cornwall's windswept coast, forbidden desires resurface, and inhibitions begin
to melt beneath the summer sun. But even as James struggles to resolve his
feelings for both sisters, the secret that killed his predecessor reaches out
from the grave to threaten his life--and that of the woman he loves.

I love discovering new authors! Your books sounds just like the type of books I enjoy reading. Congratulations!
Hello, everyone!
I'm thrilled to be invited to blog here at History Undressed and I look forward to meeting you all officially in December.
LilMissMolly, thanks for the congratulations! I still have to pinch myself now and then to be sure I'm not dreaming about my book coming out in a few weeks. I hope you enjoy Waltz with a Stranger.
The description sounds like it will right up my alley. Can't wait to read it!
Thank you, Jen! I hope it lives up to expectation.
This sounds like an interesting book!
What a pretty cover! Love triangles can be interesting, especially when there are sisters involved. Sounds like a great book. Thanks for the giveaway. Julie - riveroftimefan(at)gmail(dot)com
I can't wait to read it. I've got it on my wish list at amazon. Congrats.
Thanks, Margay! I hope you find it interesting enough to check out.
Hi, Julie--yes, I do feel that I got lucky with my cover. The mood and feeling of it--dreamy and soft-focus-- are very much in keeping with the tone of the book. As for the triangle, I hope it proves to be an interesting one. I couldn't resist the challenge of trying to create a situation where all three characters involved were fully realized and even sympathetic.
Thanks, Queen of Books! I hope you enjoy Waltz with a Stranger once it's in your hands.
This sounds interesting.
