MY-AMERICAN-DUCHESS_Final-624x1007
WHAT IT’S ABOUT:
The arrogant Duke of Trent intends to marry a well-bred Englishwoman. He wouldn’t even consider Merry Pelford, a madcap heiress who has made herself infamous by jilting two fiancés.
Besides, Merry is in love with his dissolute younger brother—and this time, the former runaway bride has vowed to make it all the way to the altar.
But as Trent and Merry discover, love has a way of complicating their perfect plans . . .
 New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James writes historical romances for HarperCollins Publishers. Her
novels have been published to great acclaim. A reviewer  from USA Today wrote of Eloisa’s very first book that she “found herself devouring the book like a dieter with a Hershey bar”; laterPeople Magazine raved that “romance writing does not get much better than this.” Her novels have repeatedly received starred reviews fromPublishers’ Weekly and Library Journal and regularly appear on the best-seller lists. After being a finalist for a RITA—the top award in the genre of romance fiction awarded by the Romance Writers of America—over ten times, she won in 2013. In 2014, Eloisa was awarded a career achievement award by Romantic Times Book Review.

A deep dark secret. A murder most foul. #amreading #mysteryseries #EmilyTaylorMystery

THE BRIDGEMANREVOLVING BOOK SPOTLIGHT: THE BRIDGEMAN: AN EMILY TAYLOR MYSTERY (BOOK 1) by Catherine Astolfo

EXCLUSIVELY AT AMAZON http://amzn.to/1XQCYvV
WATCH THE BOOK TRAILER: http://tinyurl.com/9ya7nu9

She’s the new school principal of a small town with deep dark secrets. And a murderer on the loose . . .

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Some secrets can come back to haunt you . . .
School principal Emily Taylor feels safe in the friendly little town of Burchill—until she finds a body in her school. The murder of caretaker Nathaniel Ryeburn brings back memories she’d rather forget and plunges Emily into a mystery that involves a secret diary, an illegal puppy mill and a murderer cleverly disguised as an ordinary citizen.

As fear rips through the traumatized town, Emily’s investigation inadvertently leads the police to her door, and to her husband Langford, who is hiding a secret of his own. It becomes clear to Emily that many of Burchill’s residents are merely wearing masks. And it’s time for those masks to be ripped away . . . and for a killer’s identity to be revealed.
