I’ve had to delay my post on Authors Under the Radar: Claudia Dain. But have no fear, I will be posting it on March 2nd.
In the meanwhile, I have 3 (three) wonderful historicals to giveaway. Just comment to enter to win.

The Marriage Ring
Author: Cathy Maxwell
Publisher: Avon/HarperCollins
Pub. Date: February 23, 2010
ISBN-13: 978-0061771927
368 pages
The woman who will one day wear Richard Lynstedβs ring will be genteel, dainty, and well-bred.
This eliminates Grace MacEachin on all three counts. A hellion of the first order, the alluring, infuriating woman would be nothing more than a passing temptation to an upstanding gentleman like Richardβif it werenβt for the fact that sheβs trying to blackmail his father!
Or, as Grace sees it, trying to get justiceβand maybe just the slightest hint of revenge on the family that tore her life asunder when she was just a girl. And as for Lynsted, well, the stuffy, humorless man wouldnβt suffer for time spent in company more exciting than that of his company ledgers. Only when Richard gets Grace alone, she discovers he may know a thing or two about excitement after all . . .
