One of the most exciting moments in any author’s life is when she gets her first glimpse of new artwork.  It’s the first time we get to see what our publishers’ art departments have been working on so stealthily behind the scenes.  The first time we get to see what our baby…I mean, book will look like when it comes into the world & starts showing up on store shelves.

Trust me, it is a total blast.

And of course, once we get new artwork, we cannot wait to show it off.  To everyone.  We post it online, show up on our friends’ doorsteps unannounced, & carry a grainy print-out in our purses like pictures of grandchildren to whip out & force on complete strangers.  Oh, yes, we do.

Today is my day to do just that.  I am absolutely thrilled to finally be able to share the gorgeous new cover of my September 27, 2011 Kensington Brava title, MUST LOVE VAMPIRES:

Isn’t it just about the sexiest thing you’ve ever seen?  (Don’t try to deny it—you know it’s true. )

I’ve got a back cover blurb to share with you, too:

LOVE AT FIRST BITE

Nightclub dancer Chloe Lamoureaux just met the man of her dreams: Aidan Raines is charming, considerate, rich, and hot. Of course, he’s a little mysterious about his age. And his favorite drink. And he’s not much for sunlight. But he’s asked her to marry him, and she’s ready to do it. Sure, she has a few secrets too—but they’ll have plenty of time to work things out while they’re living happily ever after. Right?

Her identical twin sister, Chuck, isn’t so sure. Maybe reporting for the local Bigfoot-sighting tabloid doesn’t make her an expert, but to Chuck, Aidan and his brother Sebastian look like honest-to-Dracula vampires. Especially Sebastian: beguiling, seductive, and just a hint of dangerous. Maybe she wouldn’t mind him taking a little taste. But with Chloe’s life in the balance, she has to know—do they want hot love or hot blood? Or maybe…a little of both?

Can you say awe-some? I’m starting to get really excited about this one…& hope you are, too.

Actually, now that the cover has been revealed, MUST LOVE VAMPIRES is officially available for pre-order!  So if you want your copy as soon as humanly—or inhumanly *snicker*—possible, be sure to order today:
