COVER REVEAL of Lexi Post's WATCHING THE EARL

 

COVER REVEAL

Watching the Earl (Courting a Curious Lady: Book 6) 

She’s ruined. He’s lost it all. A perfect match?

Lady Georgina is devastated. The lord who said he loved her, ruined her, then married another. Now her parents are desperate to keep her situation private by marrying her off to the first willing man no matter who he is. But even then, everything depends on her keeping her shame a secret…and she’s never kept a secret in her life.

Lord Philip Durham has lost it all on a sure bet. Desperate to save his father’s legacy and keep his situation hidden, he agrees to marry a woman with a large dowry. Discovering she’s also ruined only makes him more determined since it’s fitting penance for his past failings. Being forced to make a life with her, and thereby raising his family’s reputation, will satisfy both of his goals.

However, Lady Georgina appears to have goals of her own, including digging into his awkward family dynamics and returning to London for the remainder of the Season. As she becomes more confident, she seems to rise from the ashes of her old life like the mythical Phoenix. But can he avoid being burned or will her transformation bring him down in flames?

Releasing in September

Sunday Morning Musings

 

        Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!

        It’s Sunday morning as I sit down to write this. It’s a beautiful day. Not too hot yet (thank God for air conditioning…I tend to hibernate during the summers in Arizona) and there’s a lot I need to get accomplished. Sunday is my busy day, not like Saturday, where after my chores, I have a tendency to sit my butt on the couch and just veg. Granted, I do need that time to recuperate from the work week, but I hate the idea of being idle when there are so many things I could be—should be—doing.

        I’m not lazy. Not by a long shot. My house is cleaned and the laundry is done before I sit down. And I only do this on Saturdays (there’s too much to do and not enough time during the week).

        I have NetFlix, a constant draw for me and it’s both a good thing…and a bad thing. I particularly like the limited episode series. It’s so easy to get drawn in. You tell yourself you’ll only watch one episode then hours later, you realize you’ve watched the entire thing. I like the movies, too.

        That’s not to say I don’t do anything else during the time I’m vegging. I always have a pad of paper nearby so I can jot ideas, scenes, and bits of dialogue…somehow, just mindlessly watching a show frees up something in my head and the words I’m struggling with suddenly appear. 

        Which is a good thing because it seems like the writing is a hit or miss lately. I’m working on Wife Unexpected right now. I do have a deadline. It’s not for a while yet, but it seems like (feels like) I’m falling behind. I know, on one level, that I have plenty of time, but I can’t help feeling like I should be further along in the story.

        There are mornings (I write between 4:30 and 6:00 before the day job takes away every last brain cell in my head) when I’ll write 700 words then the next day, I’ll only get 200. What’s up with that? I have found though, when I’m having trouble in one scene, I will jump ahead and that seems to help (I am a puzzler).

        Ah, well, it is what it is. And being that this is Sunday, I should get moving! Lots of things to do today to get ready for the work week ahead…come on retirement! Only one year, five months, and twelve days to go before I can say goodbye to the day job! Whooo-hoooo!

Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!

READING THE VISCOUNT by Lexi Post has released!

Reading the Viscount 

(Courting a Curious Lady: Book 5)

by Lexi Post 

has released!

Amazon  | Amazon UK  | Amazon AU  | Amazon CA 

She’s shy, her nose buried in books. He’s the life of the party and maybe just the hero she needs to read. 

Painfully shy Lady Sophie is happy to blend in among the other shepherdesses at her friend’s Twelfth Night ball, at least until she gets lost in the corridors and a laughing stranger sweeps her into his arms and kisses her. Horrified, she runs away, enticed back to the ball only by a change of costume. But there’s something in her new costume that has her feeling as confident as the heroine of her favorite play, giving her the bravery to experience yet another kiss from the full-of-life Lord Tamworth. Unfortunately, the next morning, she must hide from him and return to her life at school.

Lord Tamworth has vowed not to wed until after he turns thirty, as he has secret plans that must be in place before he can settle on a wife. So, when he kisses an innocent shepherdess, he’s driven to apologize only to end up committing yet another faux pas. Determined to start his new life free of encumbrances, and to once again see the lady with the softest lips and keenest intelligence, he takes extraordinary measures.

It doesn’t take long for Christopher to discover teaching at the Belinda School for Curious Ladies is filled with many pitfalls, the deepest being the intriguing Lady Sophie. As his personal plans come to fruition, he’s torn over his growing feelings for her and ponders the unthinkable―breaking his vow. But he soon realizes his own plans are the least of the impediments to keeping Lady Sophie in his life. If he plays the villain in her story, will she ever see him as the hero?

Catch up on the whole Courting a Curious Lady series.

The Madam & Mr. MacLean - Proofs are done!

 

        Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!

        Whoooo-hoooo! The last time I wrote to you guys, I let you know the first and second round edits for The Madam & Mr. MacLean were done. This week? The proofs are done as well!

        I’m so excited! Reading through the story for the last time before publication is still a thrill! Yes, it’s a lot of work, but it’s so worth it. At least in my opinion.

 

 The Madam & Mr. MacLean

Release day is July 7 (it’s currently up for pre-order on Amazon). I hope you love Sheridan and Wyatt as much as I do!

Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!

The Madam & Mr. MacLean - First & Second Edits are done!

 

        Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!

        Okay, I’ll admit it right off the bat. I am tired. As you all know (and probably feel this way, too) there’s too much to do and not enough hours in the day! I am, however, not too tired to let you all know that I have finished both first and second round edits for The Madam & Mr. MacLean…and I’m happy. I have one more round to go!

        As you all know, I just love my editor and copy editor. My publisher, too, and their outstanding cover artists. They’re all so wonderful! I am so blessed!

        The book is already up for Pre-Order. Just love this cover. The heroine looks exactly like I pictured her. And the hero! Wow! Isn’t he dreamy? He’s even more handsome than I wrote him!

The Madam & Mr. MacLean

Since there’s no rest for the wicked, tomorrow I can get back to Wife Unexpected. I will admit I have missed Faith and Tysen while I worked through my edits on The Madam & Mr. MacLean (scenes and dialogue were coming to me at the most inopportune times. I still stopped what I was doing to jot them down because when great stuff hits you, you gotta do that!). 

And that’s all for me. It’s Sunday so I need to clean out my fridge and get ready to go grocery shopping, plus a bunch of other chores I didn’t get to yesterday. Hmmm, the chores never seem to end, do they?

Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
