Book Watch and Giveaway: Bound By Your Touch by Meredith Duran

Book Cover

Silver-tongued Viscount Sanburne is London's favorite scapegrace. Alas, Lydia Boyce has no interest in being charmed. When his latest escapade exposes a plot to ruin her family, she vows to handle it herself, as she always has done. Certainly she requires no help from a too-handsome dilettante whose main achievement is being scandalous. But Sanburne's golden charisma masks a sharper mind and darker history than she realizes. He shocks Lydia by breaking past her prim facade to the woman beneath...and the hidden fire no man has ever recognized. But as she follows him into a world of intrigue, she will learn that the greatest danger lies within -- in the shadowy, secret motives of his heart.

This book is one of the best historicals of the year (up there with Scandal by Carolyn Jewel and Untamed by Pamela Clare). Meredith Duran has a gift in writing characters that draw you in, even the ones that you think you won't like.

This book is being released on June 30th. We wanted to give our readers a chance to win a copy of this fantastic book. Leave a comment by Thursday, June 18th @ 11:59 (PDT). The winner will be announced next weekend.

Good luck!

You can also pre-order it here.

M. said...

*sigh*
I adored this author's first book, but - man, that cover illustration is not helping to make me want to pick this up.

What I find interesting though is the prominence given to the author's name, compared to the title.

Margay said...

I have yet to read anything by this author and I like finding new authors to read, so would love a chance at this book.
