my author copies just arrived!
Yee-haw! I was sitting in my office, working at the computer, when I saw the UPS truck fly past the front windows. I even turned my head & watched it go, thinking, "Well, darn it, they must not have anything for me." (Every time a UPS or FedEx truck goes by, I think they should bring me something. LOL)But next thing I know, I hear brakes squeal & see the big brown truck start backing up...to my house! Yippee! I jumped up & ran to the door, & sure enough, the driver was coming down the walk with a box that had the Harlequin symbol on the side. I joked with him about missing my house...he's only been here, like, a million times before...& he kind of blushed & said he'd been thinking about something else & apparently couldn't do two things at once. Hey, I know the feeling.
But my copies of MR. AND MISTRESS are finally here, & they are gorgeous! (Yes, I know I say that every time I get author copies of a new book, but it also happens to be the truth every time.) I can't wait to flip through & explore every single page.
I even love the faux newspaper write-up on the first page. Here it is:
AROUND TOWN
The Elliotts Strike Again!
Manhattan's wealthiest family is once again hitting the tabloids, thanks this time to playboy Cullen Elliott. While the sexy sales director of SNAP magazine has been seen escorting some of the city's most beautiful women, Cullen has been hiding a deep, dark secret--a mistress hidden away in the playground known as Sin City.
According to reliable sources, Cullen's secret lover is Misty Vale, a long-legged, green-eyed ex-showgirl straight from the Vegas Strip.
And he's brought her home to Manhattan. To introduce her to his parents--editor Daniel and attorney Amanda Elliott--in anticipation of his pending nuptials, perhaps? New York society holds its breath to hear the respectable family's reaction.
The rumor mill is abuzz over on Park Avenue where the Elliott publishing empire holds court. Something--or someone--major had to have pushed the confirmed bachelor to propose. Could it be the mistress is carrying an Elliott heir?
We'll be following the story...
Too cool. If this weren't my story & I read that, I'd definitely have to pick up a copy. It's too intriguing not to. :-)
And... First one to leave a comment gets a copy, hot off the presses! :-D
