Exactly one month to go until Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart hits stores! I'm getting that excited-but-also-nervous-OMG-I-might-be-sick feeling that is becoming tragically familiar in the weeks leading up to a book release.
BUT! I figure I've kept you all in the dark about Eleven for long enough! I mean, you know who we're dealing with...Juliana Fiori, the Italian, half-sister of Ralston (Nine Rules...) and Nick (Ten Ways...), and her Duke of Disdain, Simon Pearson, the Duke of Leighton.
As a "one month until release day" present, would you like to read the first page of the book?
In retrospect, there were four actions Miss Juliana Fiori should have reconsidered that evening.
First, she likely should have ignored the impulse to leave her sister-in-law’s Autumn ball in favor of the less-cloying, better-smelling and far more poorly-lit gardens of Ralston House.
Second, she very likely should have hesitated when that same impulse propelled her deeper along the darkened paths that marked the exterior of her brother’s home.
Third, she almost certainly should have returned to the house the moment she stumbled upon Lord Grabeham, deep in his cups, half-falling down, and spouting entirely ungentlemanly things.
But, she definitely should not have hit him.
It didn’t matter than he had pulled her close and breathed his hot, whiskey-laden breath upon her, or that his cold, moist lips had clumsily found their way to the high arch of one cheek, or that he suggested that she might like it just as her mother had.
Ladies did not hit people.
At least, English ladies didn’t.There it is...I hope it whets your appetite!
If so, I hope you'll join me at one of the events that we've got planned for the launch of Eleven Scandals! I'll be on tour in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York City, but for those of you who aren't in those areas, please join me and the FABULOUS Eloisa James for an online, live-streamed chat about books, romance and writing on April 27th at 5pm EST! I'm so excited about this event...I love Eloisa's books, and I can't wait to talk with her about writing and more! Mark your calendars!
LIVE ONLINE!
Wednesday, April 27, 2011, 5:00 - 6:30pm

I am so excited! I've been looking forward to reading Juliana's story since you introduced her in Nine Rules. I already pre-ordered it on my Kindle as well. :) I really do wish I lived up north so I could come to your signings or readings, but watching through live stream will be good enough! :)
That's just mean...giving us a little taste of the book when we have to wait another month. LOL. Can't wait til the book is released, love the series and am really looking forward to Juliana's story!
It's pre-ordered for Kindle along with Kieran's book. :) Yay!
No fair! Now I'm dying to read the rest. Time to go drop a penny into a wishing well and wishing that April 26 will get here tomorrow.

I'm so excited that you have something set up for Rhode Island! I live in Wakefield so if I can just get my car to drive north of the Tower I'll be there to finally let you know in person how much I love your books.
Being a true Rhode Islander it's really hard to convince my car to go that far - it has to be at least 18 - 20 miles which means I'll have to stop at Dunkin Donuts for a coffee on the way!
Thanks for the brief read. I'm looking Juliana and the duke.
