Fall In Love (Again) Giveaway blog hop -- Final Set of Authors
Today we are showcasing the remaining three Harlequin Historical authors who have offered prizes for this giveaway
First up is Annie Burrows who writes sparkling romance about brooding heroes and the fiesty heroines who help them find true love. Annie loves the Regency period because of the social mobility -- a man could rise to the pinncle of society through enterrpise and daring or plummet to its depth on the turn of a card.
Annie is offering a copy Gift Wrapped Governesses singed by her to one lucky entrant.
by Sophia James, Annie Burrows & Marguerite Kaye "Christmas at Blackhaven Castle In disguise'' Penniless Lady Seraphina Moreton seeks sanctuary at the Duke of Blackhaven’s castle just days before Christmas. Trey swore never again to be beguiled by a beautiful face, but as governess Seraphina gets close to his unruly, motherless children, he wants the festive joy she brings to stay beyond Christmas Day…Read this and two other stories in this great festive collection.
Her next book Never Trust A Rake will be published in February 2013
Rumour has it that the Earl of Deben, the most notorious rake in London, has set aside his penchant for married mistresses, and turned his skilled hand to seducing innocents! There can be no other reason why he is so often seen in the company of a country miss, can there? But once Lord Deben engages in a battle of wits with the feisty Miss Henrietta Gibson, it becomes increasingly hard to determine just who is seducing whom!
You can learn more about Annie Burrows and her books on http://www.annie-burrows.co.uk/
Barbara Monajem writes for the super sexy short sister line of Harlequin Historical, Historical Undone. These ebook exclusives are short novellas which pack a spicy punch. Barbara writes in the Regency period and is offering a download of one of her ebooks.
Her latest ebook is A Lady's lesson in Seduction and is her first Christmas themed ebook.
Once a notorious rake, Camden Folk, Marquis of Warbury, is now consumed by desire for only one woman: beautiful young widow Frances Burdett. And the Yuletide festivities at his country estate present the perfect opportunity for seduction…
After her brief and unsatisfying marriage, Frances Burdett swore never to become tied to another man. Then a passionate kiss under the mistletoe reawakens longings she thought buried forever. But can she give in to the pleasures of the body with a rogue like Cam—without losing her heart?
You can read more about Barbara and her sensual reads on her website. http://www.barbaramonajem.com/
Michelle Styles writes warm, witty and intimate historical romance in a wide range of time periods from Roman gladiators to hardened Viking warriors and early Victorian rakes and businessmen.
She happens to love history and believes love is timeless.
She is offering a signed copy of her latest Hattie Wilkinson Meets Her Match (or a backlist book if the winner would prefer).
WHEN OPPOSITES ATTRACT...! In the eyes of the ton Hattie Wilkinson is a respectable widow, content with her safe, if somewhat modest life. On the other hand Sir Christopher Foxton prides himself on being regarded as one of London's most notorious rakes, with a particularly mischievous streak! Upon their first meeting Kit threatens to shatter Hattie's well-ordered peace - and her reputation! - if only she'll allow herself to succumb to his playful advances. This time they've both finally met their match...
You can read an extract here.
Her next book An Ideal Husband? will be published in April 2013
When heiress Sophie Ravel finds herself in a compromising situation, notorious Richard Crawford, Viscount Bingfield, swoops in and saves her reputation! She might have escaped the attentions of one undesirable, but will Richard’s protection expose her to even more scandal?
Richard curses his impetuousness at offering a betrothal in the heat of the moment! He gladly accepts Sophie’s terms that their engagement remains a pretence until, quite by chance, he unlocks his shy fiancĂ©e’s passionate nature. Now nothing will steer him from wedding—then bedding—his blushing bride...

Fall In Love (Again) Giveaway Blog Hop -- Learn More about the Authors
Harlequin Historical offers a broad range of time periods but because the Georgian/Regency/Victorian time periods are so popular, they do always offer at least one of these books in the their monthly offerings. Each author writes with her own unique voice and take on the period.
Louise Allen whose personal research library rivals Georgette Heyer's has certainly ventured into the far flung places of the long Regency. She has a twist of humour and plenty of passion in her writing. She has also written books set in the Dark Ages, and the English Civil War as well as publishing a nonficiton book. Her next book The Forbidden Jewel of India takes place in 1788 in India. It will be published in January 2013.
TO OBEY HIS DUTY IS TO DENY HIS HEART
Anusha Laurens is in danger. The daughter of an Indian princess and an English peer, she's the perfect pawn in the opulent courts of Rajasthan. Even so, she will not return to the father who rejected her.
Arrogant angrezi Major Nicholas Herriard is charged with bringing the alluring princess safely to her new life in Calcutta. Nick's mission is to protect, to serve–but under the searing Indian sun an initial attraction unfurls into a forbidden temptation.
This beautiful, impossible princess test the very limits of his honor–especially when Nick is left with only one option to keep Anusha safe: marriage. But the fast-flowing waters of the Ganges determine a different fate, and duty may separate them forever...
You can read an extract here.
Louise is offering a signed copy of one of her recent works Ravished by the Rake
A merchantman sails home to England from India with passengers whose lives will be altered forever when it hits the treacherous reefs of the Isles of Scilly.
In the first of the Danger & Desire trilogy meet Lady Perdita Brooke who puts a carefree face on heartbreak and scandal and whose sharp wit soon finds a worthy opponent in the devastatingly attractive shape of Lord Alistair Lyndon. Three months on board ship bring them into dangerously tempting proximity; one night of ultimate danger reveals a secret that threatens to part them forever.
You can read an extract here.
You can learn more about Louise and her books on her website www.louiseregency.co.uk
Elkizabeth Beacon writes Regency with fiesty heroines and goregous heroes. Georgette Heyer sparked her iniital love of the period. She loves the period and sees no need to venture outside it.
Elizabeth is offering a signed copy of a recent release The Duchess Hunt
"HAD SHE BEEN RIGHT UNDER HIS NOSE ALL THESE YEARS? Jack Seaborne, Duke of Dettingham, needs a duchess, but falling in love is definitely not on the agenda. The logical thing would be to throw open the doors of his ducal country seat, host a house party for this Season’s most beautiful debutantes…and pick one of them. But then Miss Jessica Pendle arrives – his aunt’s plain-speaking goddaughter – and she’s the one who stands out from the crowd. But Jessica is looking for love – the one emotion Jack resists. Although he can’t deny there’s something about Jessica that’s very persuasive…!"

Fall In Love (Again) Blog Hop -- Learn About the Authors
Harlequin Historical has authors to meet every mood and so over the next few days, we will be telling you about the authors who are providing the books for the giveaway.
First up
Carole Mortimer.
With more than 165 published books and a career which started in the late 1970s, Carole Mortimer is truly a Queen of Romance. Earlier this year because of her services to literature, she met the Queen at one of the Queen's garden parties at Buckingham Palace.
Although she has written mainly contemporary romance for the Presents/Modern line, Carole recently brought her unique voice to the Regency period. Her Regencys are great romps. Her latest is Some Like It Wicked and a sign copy is up for grabs in the Fall in Love (Again) giveaway.
DEVIL BY NAME… Rupert Stirling, Duke of Stratton, has long since acquired the nickname Devil. And with outrageous exploits both in and out of ladies’ bedchambers, my, has he earned it! RisquĂ© behaviour is beyond Pandora Maybury, widowed Duchess of Wyndwood – although with her dark secret she’s far too well acquainted with being the subject of ribald gossip for her liking. If only the Ton knew just how innocent she really was…including Rupert who, after rescuing her from a compromising situation, seems intent on wickedly compromising her himself! Daring Duchesses They’ll scandalise the Ton"
You can read an excerpt here.
Rita award winning author Diane Gaston also writes in the Regency period but has a different slant than Carole. Diane 's books often concentrate on the Regency underworld.
Her latest Born to Scandal is published in December.
"‘PEOPLE TALK AS IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ABOUT LORD BRENTMORE. SOMETHING ABOUT HIS PAST.' Lord Brentmore – half Irish peasant, half English aristocrat – grew up under a cloud of scandal. Even money and a title aren’t enough to stay the wagging tongues of the ton. But he’s vowed that his children will never experience the same stigma. After the death of their infamous mother they need a reputable governess. Anna Hill is too passionate, too alluring, but she fills Brentmore Hall with light and laughter again – and its master with feelings he’d forgotten… But a lord marrying a governess would be the biggest scandal of all!"
Diane is generously giving away a complete signed set of her Soldier books. You can read more about the series here. You can learn more about Diane and her books on www.dianegaston.com
