Guest Post from Vivienne Lorret:
Why is the book cover so important?
A great cover is like that guy from the coffee shop. You know the one. The gods have graced him with the perfect amount of stubble and those sexy creases on the side of his mouth. It would be criminal not to stare at him. When he turns his head, he flashes a smile that makes you blush. Twenty trillion synapses fire at once. For a single moment, you forget that you’re wearing a pink ball cap, a wrinkled t-shirt, and yoga pants that everyone knows you don’t wear to yoga class. For a single moment, you live in an alternate reality where he thinks the mascara smudges beneath your eyes are oddly endearing.
A great cover will transport you. In the very least, it will make you want to take a second glance.

Daring Miss Danvers- Releasing May 6th,
2014
It's all fun and games … until someone falls
in love.
Oliver Goswick,
Viscount Rathburn, needs money—and soon. With time ticking away and his
inheritance held hostage until he's properly wed, Rathburn's slim options point
to a single solution: a faux engagement. In need of the perfect bride, he knows
of only one candidate: his best friend's wallflower sister. The plan seems
flawless, except for one problem … He can't help falling in love with her.
Poised, polished
Emma Danvers knows nothing good can come of Rathburn's scheme. Spending the
next two months engaged in a mock courtship is not what she'd imagined for her
final season. Yet, charmed by his roguish ways and the inexplicable hammering
he causes in her heart, she accepts his challenge.
For Emma, keeping
the secret seemed easy when it was just a game … But as Rathburn begins to see
past her reserved exterior to the passionate woman within, the risk of losing
her heart becomes all too real.

Winning Miss Wakefield-
Releasing June 10th, 2014
She's got nothing left to lose …
With her fiancé
suddenly engaged to another and her reputation in tatters, Merribeth Wakefield
needs a bold plan to reclaim her life. She must be brave. Confident. She must …
kiss a rake? The suggestion is ludicrous! Yet when Merribeth finds herself alone
with the dark and brooding Lord Knightswold, suddenly the plan doesn't seem so
farfetched. So she does something she never thought she'd do—she kisses him.
But he has everything to gain …
The Marquess of
Knightswold—Bane to most—has no use for the affections of women. Well, none
lasting longer than a single night. A plot for revenge weighs heavy on his
mind, leaving no room for romance. But then a shy, witty miss borrows a kiss
from him in a darkened room, and everything he thought he knew about innocent debutantes
vanishes along with her.
When a twist of
fate brings Merribeth within Bane's grasp, he'll have to resist her charms—or
risk losing everything—for the sake of his heart.

Author Info
I fell in love with
fairy tales and the romance behind happily ever after at a very young age. Like
a lot of you, I tweaked the fables bit by bit in my imagination until they
suited me perfectly. By the time I was eleven, a teacher encouraged me to start
writing.
Throughout the
years that followed, my teachers remained my most fervent supporters, giving me
the tools I needed to continue my journey as a writer.
My husband and I
have two teenage boys, who are heroes in their own right. For now, we live in a
small Midwestern town near Lake Michigan…until a time in the future when a new
adventure calls us to other shores.
I am currently
working on my next novel, but I always enjoy hearing from my readers. Feel
