Giveaway – Concours

 
Lord Ned à Tout Prix (La Duchesse des Coeurs, 1) – Sally macKenzie

Bien déterminée à trouver un mari, Miss Eleanor Bowman compte sur le bal qu’organise la Duchesse de Greycliffe, entremetteuse reconnue, surnommée la Duchesse des coeurs. Mais Eleanor éconduit joliment les prétendants que son hôtesse a invités. Le seul homme qu’elle veut, c’est le fils de la duchesse, Lord Edward, jeune veuf séduisant qu’elle aime depuis toujours. Et la jeune femme est prête à tout pour conquérir son cœur.
 Caroline Bingley – Jennifer Becton

Dans Orgueil et Préjugés, Caroline Bingley n’a qu’une idée en tête : faire main basse sur le très convoité Mr Darcy. Peine perdue, ce dernier lui préfère la douce Elizabeth Bennet, celle-là même dont Caroline n’a de cesse de se moquer. Bannie de la maison de son frère, la voilà contrainte de retourner vivre chez ses parents. Quand ses rêves les plus fous- une lignée ancienne, un titre, un domaine- sont enfin à sa portée en la personne de William Charlton, Caroline sera-t-elle prête à y renoncer pour écouter son cœur ?

Scythe does Matter (the reluctant reaper, 2) – Gina X Grant

Kirsty’s afterlife gets even more Hellish in this second installment of The Reluctant Reaper series when her soul-stealing ex-boss targets her beloved aunt. Her only chance to stop him? Becoming a Reaper herself. Fortunately, her hunky new boyfriend, Italian-poet-turned-Reaper Dante Alighieri, is there to help. Still trapped in the bureaucratic inferno known as Hell, Kirsty d’Arc redoubles her efforts to escape back to the Mortal Coil when she learns Conrad is after the soul of her beloved aunt. To save Aunt Carey, Kirsty must enroll at the Reaper Academy and earn a scythe of her own. Studying topics like Exor-scything 101, Riding the Death Cycle, and Reincarnation for Dummies is strange. But then, so are her classmates: a fallen angel, the Death Valley girls, and Kali-the ancient god of death, destruction, and those little earring backs that always go missing.
Now time is running out thanks to a temporal crisis she may have accidentally created. Can she graduate, rescue her aunt, take down Conrad, and save Hell and every other dimension-before the clock stops ticking?
As the saying goes in Hell, “Be careful what you wish for; it just might get you!”

Wicked as she wants (Blud, 2) – Delilah S Dawson

The second book in the darkly tempting Blud series, featuring a vampire princess who embarks upon a dangerous journey to claim what is rightfully hers.

When Blud princess Ahnastasia wakes up, drained and starving in a suitcase, she’s not sure which calls to her more: the sound of music or the scent of blood. The source of both sensations is a handsome and mysterious man named Casper Sterling. Once the most celebrated musician in London, Sangland, he’s fallen on hard times. Now, much to Ahna’s frustration, the debauched and reckless human is her only ticket back home to the snow-rimmed and magical land of Freesia.

Together with Casper’s prickly charge, a scrappy orphan named Keen, they seek passage to Ahna’s homeland, where a power-hungry sorceress named Ravenna holds the royal family in thrall. Traveling from the back alleys of London to the sparkling minarets of Muscovy, Ahna discovers that Freesia holds new perils and dangerous foes. Back in her country, she is forced to choose between the heart she never knew she had and the land that she was born to rule. But with Casper’s help, Ahna may find a way to have it all…
