Romance, Treachery, and Tea

If you've read A HEART DECEIVED and loved it, I've got another fantastic read to recommend to you. My crit buddy, Jessica Dotta, is releasing her debut novel, BORN OF PERSUASION, in September. Here's a blurb:

The year is 1838, and seventeen-year-old Julia Elliston’s position has never been more fragile. Orphaned and unmarried in a time when women are legal property of their fathers, husbands, and guardians, she finds herself at the mercy of an anonymous guardian who plans to establish her as a servant in far-off Scotland.

With two months to devise a better plan, Julia’s first choice to marry her childhood sweetheart is denied. But when a titled dowager offers to introduce Julia into society, a realm of possibilities opens. However, treachery and deception are as much a part of Victorian society as titles and decorum, and Julia quickly discovers her present is deeply entangled with her mother’s mysterious past. Before she knows what’s happening, Julia finds herself a pawn in a deadly game between two of the country’s most powerful men. With no laws to protect her, she must unravel the secrets on her own. But sometimes truth is elusive and knowledge is deadly.

Sound interesting? You bet it is! I was lucky enough to get to critique it and woo-hoo! Love it to pieces. 

Now then, here's the fun part. Check out Jessica's Facebook page frequently during the entire month of August. She's got giveaways galore, and one of them will be my book. You might be the lucky winner!
