Okay, I’m totally taunting you, because I’m not actually going to post my new cover, because it has a typo in the mock up, so I will wait for that.  However I will share the title and the back cover blurb.

Coming in January 2008…

ANY WAY YOU WANT IT

 

IS THAT A TREBLE CLEF IN YOUR POCKET—

OR ARE YOU JUST GLAD TO SEE ME?

 

Maggie Gallagher spends her nights with lots of men. Of course, they’re all dead composers, but why nitpick? Her love life is just like the musical compositions she researches—undiscovered. It’s time for Maggie to get loose and go wild. In a dive bar on Bourbon Street, Maggie makes a real find in the house band’s keyboard player. He’s hot. Sexy. Flirtatious. Soulful. And she could swear he’s playing an unknown piece she’s been researching, which is impossible, unless he’s dead…

Centuries before he was a bad-ass vampire with a rock-star wardrobe and Big Easy charm, Ren was Renaldo D’Antoni, a composer on the verge of great success until he was betrayed. No one could ever know that, but tonight, the shy redhead with the big eyes and obviously borrowed outfit actually seemed to recognize his long-lost composition. Now, she wants to know about the composition, and Ren wants to know her…intimately. But what starts as attraction—and distraction—just might lead to the biggest discovery of their lives…

I’m super excited about this book.  I really loved writing it, and I love the setting and the subject matter.  I was so pleased Kate, my editor, didn’t bat an eyelash when I told her I wanted to write a hero, who is a singer in cover band on Bourbon Street.  Especially since we’ve all heard that musicians are one of the romance no-nos.  But I guess the fact that he was once a classical composer was a good loophole.

What do you think?  Are there any careers that should be avoided in romance?
