March Book Giveaway!

***This giveaway is now closed! I’ve announced the winner here.

First, I’d like to mention that my book will be released in a few weeks! You can still pre-order your copy at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Christianbook.com(it’s $2.00 cheaper here), as well as other online bookstores!

Now, onto the book giveaway! I’ll be giving away the following books for the month of March!

1. The Country House Courtship by Linore Rose Burkand ***Note, I will be posting a review for this book later this month!
Linore Burkard’s fans devoured her first two Regency novels Before the Season Ends and The House in Grosvenor Square. Now, as her third novel opens, the year is 1818 and Miss Beatrice Forsythe is determined to marry well. After all, her sister, Ariana, married The Paragon, Mr. Phillip Mornay, five years earlier–which all but guarantees that she, Beatrice, can also make a famous match to a wealthy man.

But her sister and husband have disappeared from high society as they raise a family at their country estate. Can Beatrice persuade them to chaperone her in London? And what about Beatrice’s business with the curate, Mr. O’Brien, whom she rashly promised to marry years earlier. At seventeen now, she has no wish to marry a mere clergyman—despite his agreeable countenance and gentle, understanding ways.

When Mr. Tristan Barton becomes the tenant of the Manor House, Beatrice’s hopes seem to have found their object. But when Ariana falls gravely ill, secrets come to light, motives are revealed, and the pretenses that are easy to keep up in the darkness begin to crumble. Hearts are bared, truths uncovered, and when all is said and done, a country house courtship like no other has occurred!

As always, Linore Burkard delivers “spirited romance for the Jane Austen soul.”

2.
Once A Thief by Frances Devine ***Note, I will be posting a review for this book later this month!When an unscrupulous man offers Danielle Grayson shelter and food for her and her brother, she sees no other option, even though it means joining Sutton in his crimes.

Danielle must choose between betraying those who helped her or seeing her brother harmed. When her deception surfaces, will Danielle return to crime or will she turn to Blake Nelson -and God-for rescue?

As he’s grown close to his elderly neighbors, he’s learned all about their beloved granddaughter. How could he help but fall for the beautiful Christian girl they describe?

Pediatric cardiologist Jonah Morgan is obsessed with one thing: his work. A childhood incident cemented his desire to heal children at any cost, even his family, but now he finds himself at a crossroads in his life.
