ANNA CAMPBELL has written eight multi award-winning historical romances for Grand Central Publishing and Avon HarperCollins and her work is published in sixteen languages. Anna lives on the beautiful east coast of Australia where she writes fulltime. Her latest release is A RAKE’S MIDNIGHT KISS, book two of the Sons of Sin series. Don’t miss her free short story, “His Christmas Cinderella”, in the e-anthology A GROSVENOR SQUARE CHRISTMAS, released in October 2013.
Places to find Anna:
Rakish arbiter of elegance Sir Richard Harmsworth meets scholarly vicar’s daughter Genevieve Barrett in A RAKE’S MIDNIGHT KISS and they have a rocky time of getting it together! They only truly begin to work together when the villain in that book, Lord Neville Fairbrother, threatens their lives. Lord Neville’s evil has extended to touch the characters in the next two books WHAT A DUKE DARES (out August 2014) and the fourth book in my Sons of Sin series which features the Marquess of Leath, Lord Neville’s nephew. These letters are exchanged during events in that fourth book, as yet untitled, when Leath enlists Richard’s help to track down Lord Neville’s violent and blackmailing cohort, Greengrass. You can read more about both A RAKE’S MIDNIGHT KISS and WHAT A DUKE DARES on my website: http://annacampbell.info/books.html
Check out Richard and Genevieve's love story in A Rake's Midnight Kiss
It Takes a Lady…
Brilliant scholar Genevieve Barrett knows how to keep a secret. Her identity as the author of her father's academic articles has always been her greatest deception-until a charming housebreaker tries to steal the mysterious Harmsworth Jewel from her. She doesn't reveal that she recognizes her father's devastatingly handsome new student as the thief himself. For Genevieve, this will be the most seductive secret of all...
..To Catch a Thief!
Sir Richard Harmsworth has been living a lie, maintaining a rakish facade to show society that he doesn't care about his status as a bastard. Yet long haunted by his unknown father's identity, Richard believes the Harmsworth Jewel will confirm his claim as the rightful heir. But when Richard sets out to seduce the bookworm who possesses the stone, he instead falls for its beautiful owner. But even as she steals Richard's heart, Genevieve will be in greater danger than her coveted treasure...

Oh, Anna! Your writings are exactly what is termed "sigh-worthy." Sigh….
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well and enjoying your wonderful weather. So envious!! All the best!!
Connie, so glad you enjoyed the letters! Thank you! As you can probably tell, there's a bit of a sneak peak at the fourth book in this lot!
DeleteAw,cute letters! Thanks for the giveaway, Anna!
ReplyDeleteHi Cerian! Thanks for saying you enjoyed the letters. I always enjoy writing Richard!
DeleteAugust 2014 is too far away Anna! The blurb is terribly tantalizing too *bites nails*
ReplyDeleteLinda, so glad you found the blurb enticing! My work is done! ;-)
DeleteAnna I just love your books.. Can't wait to read this one.. that little excerpt was a terrible tease...
ReplyDeletesuperauntkx9_@live. ca
Thanks so much, Kathleen! I'll put up an excerpt of Duke a little closer to publication time - I like to continue the tease, bwaahahahahahaha!
DeleteI loved Seven Nights and I can't wait to read this one. I loved the letters, it makes you want to read more.
ReplyDeletesheryll1974@netscape.net
Sheryl, how lovely! Both that you enjoyed 7 Nights and that you enjoyed the letters. There's a nice few hints about the fourth book in the series there!
DeleteThose letters were so lovely. My heart was melting as I read them. Lucky couple to have so much love between them.
ReplyDeleteAnna, I adore your books. I love how you draw the reader in from page one, right up to the "happy ever after".

Diane, what a lovely thing to say! I love writing romance - I think it's such an affirmative take on life. So glad you enjoyed the letters - and the books! Thank you!
DeleteAnna, do you know who wrote those beautiful letters in that beautiful handwriting?
DeleteDani put them up, Diane. Suspect she found a pretty font! Isn't it lovely how they actually LOOK like letters?
DeleteThanks for the chance to win! I need to read an Anna Campbell book!

DeleteTerrific letters... love it!

Thanks, May! So glad you enjoyed them. They were fun to write.
DeleteThis is one of my favorite blog events! I love seeing the letters. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAquarianDancer at gmail dot com
Dani runs the best events, doesn't she, AD? I love her Christmas party too where we get to write a scene from a story that she suggests!
DeleteAww thanks so much. I'm so glad you all like these events. I admit I'm always nervous when they start that no one is going to like them. So glad that the Sealed With a Kiss and Historical Christmas Eve are so well liked. I love having all of the authors stop by and share. =)
DeleteDanielle, your Christmas one always sparks a story idea for me!
DeleteWonderful letters! I can't wait for the book! I adored your short story “His Christmas Cinderella”!
ReplyDeleteGlenda, thank you so much! That anthology got such a great reaction - and it was lovely to give our readers a Christmas present!
DeleteSuch a letter!!! I enjoyed it and almost printed it off for my husband to read! ha, ha Might help him with ideas!!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, how cool! Love that you think it's inspiring! It was fun to do - I did one last year for Jonas and Sidonie. Hope if Dani runs it again, I can do one for Cam and Pen from What a Duke Dares!
DeleteSorry, ant follow directions. macdebbielou@yahoo.com and print.
ReplyDeleteI loved the letters. They were so cute!

ReplyDeleteJust call me Sherlock Holmes, but I think this might be my lovely Bandita sister, the very talented Nancy Northcott! Nancy, thanks for swinging by and for saying nice things about Rake!
DeleteOoh, lovely! And the gorgeous Sir Richard is no dunderhead at all! You're tantalizing us with glimpses of Leath's story, too. Can't wait for that one!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Christina. I'm in the throes of writing Leath's romance with the mysterious Miss Trim right now so they naturally had to cop a mention.
Deletelove those love letter excerpts

Deleteand I would choose either a print or ecopy if chosen :)
DeleteThanks so much for swinging by. So glad you enjoyed the letters!
DeleteOh, Anna, I am so ready for another of your books! I love stories about rakes or fancy boys or even even mild degenerates crossing swords with an intellectual woman. So many lessons to learn on both ends of the story.
ReplyDeleteJo, thanks so much for swinging by. And thanks also for saying you're looking forward to my next release! I love stories about bad boys and good girls - if they're done right, both hero and heroine have learned something about themselves and what makes for a fulfilled life by the end of it.
DeleteI always enjoy letters between characters, feeling that these often reveal more than conversations in person. Thanks for the chance to win this book. I am looking forward to reading it soon. If I win, I would choose a print copy.

Hi Dee! Thanks for swinging by. I agree with you about letters. I actually really like epistolary novels although they're hopelessly out of fashion these days. As you say, letters can be so revealing of character.
DeleteLoved the love letters, Anna! I agree with Christina and Lady Genevieve -- Sir Richard's no dunderhead. He's pretty skilful with a pen. Thanks for a great read!
ReplyDeleteHey, Vanessa, thanks so much for swinging by! Oh, that Richard, he's just being self-deprecating because he's so charming, the cad!
DeleteI loved reading the letters, and I really need to get my hands on A Rake's Midnight Kiss. I can't believe I haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, thanks for saying you loved the letters! They were great fun to write - and it's always fun to have another go at characters I've loved.
DeleteThe book sounds really great! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Thanks for the chance to win it.

Hi Martha! Thanks for checking out the letters and so glad you think Rake sounds great!
DeleteAnna, what a treat. Having read and loved Richard and Guinevere's story, this little glimpse into their married life made me smile. More please! And now I'm intrigued as to what's happening with Leath. This series is growing more and more fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Annie! It was fun revisiting Richard and Genevieve although obviously we also get to revisit them in What a Duke Dares and the fourth book.
DeleteHow marvellous, Anna, to read these delightful letters. It's so nice to "catch up" with Genevieve and Richard and to get a glimpse into their life together after the "happy ever after" ending of the novel. Also nice to get an intriguing glimpse into the next book!
ReplyDeletePlease don't enter me into the draw for A RAKE'S MIDNIGHT KISS as I am fortunate to already own a copy of this wonderful book!
Thanks so much, Kandy. Glowing that you enjoyed Rake! Writing the letters was great fun - nice to have them teasing each other still. That was one of the fun bits about writing A RAKE'S MIDNIGHT KISS, the banter!
DeleteAwww, thanks, Mary! So glad you enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing such wonderful books and for this awesome opportunity to win a print copy! areewekidding@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Robyn. Thank you. Good luck!
DeleteLove these letters, Anna, and it's such a treat to catch up with the lovely Richard and Genevieve again after enjoying their story in A Rake's Midnight Kiss! And there's a peek at Leath and Miss Trim from a future Anna Campbell book! What fun!
ReplyDeleteNo need to put me in the draw for the book - I have you on my keeper shelf!
Sharon, so glad you enjoyed Rake. Thank you. It was such fun to revisit them for this game.
DeleteThose letters are wonderful and so are your books. Thank you for the sneak peak and giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAnn, thank you for that. So glad you enjoyed the letters! Good luck!
DeleteYou write such great books, I've enjoyed a few, especially Seven Nights in a Rogue's Bed. Annwitch707(at)aol(dot)com
DeleteAnn, I was blown away with the reception to that one. It harked back to the gothic romances I read as a teenager!
DeleteCongrats Anna on the newest release! I've just "discovered" your books and I'm excited to dive in :) Thanks for a fun post! What inspires your writing?
ReplyDeleteefender1(at)gmail
Hi Erin! Lovely to meet you - so glad you found the books! Hope you have fun diving in. Interesting about inspiration - pretty much everything. With the Sons of Sin series, I started thinking about how men who had a shadow over the circumstances of their birth would get along in a world where breeding for both people and horses was so important.
DeleteAbsolutely adore your stories, Anna! And after reading these two exerpted letters between Richard and Genevieve I'm especially wanting to read your latest story asap! Thanks so much for your writing and for this post. jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteJanice, thanks for swinging by. And for saying how much you enjoy the books! Actually I wrote these letters just for Dani - she's got that much influence, LOL! So they dont' actually apear in Rake although I've decided to put them up on my website next month.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway opportunity.

Sophia, thanks so much for saying you enjoyed the letters. That teasing, bantering relationship hiding deep emotion is very much what the love story between Richard and Genevieve is like. They were a fun couple to get to know. Good luck!
DeleteAnna, I love your books - Love the letters shared ..
ReplyDeleteI purchased the book as soon as I was able to order it, so I just am posting a note of thanks :-)
oh dear, love, love, love... a tad overused, but I can't think of anything better.
Wow, HH, what a lovely message. Thanks so much. So glad you loved the book. I really enjoyed this particular couple - loved that they were both so prickly on the outside and big globs of marshmallow inside! LOL!
DeleteCongratulations on the book. I've read several glowing reviews.
ReplyDeleteLetter writing is becoming a lost art. When was the last time you received a handwritten letter from someone you cared about - not an email or card, but an actual letter?
penfield716(AT)yahoo(DOT)com
Kim, I actually still get quite a few letters although I have to say, even there, people are starting to type them which, while lovely, isn't quite the same. One of the reasons I love getting postcards is that they're always handwritten. That just means so much more, somehow. Thanks for the congrats - reviews have been very nice!
DeleteI still haven't read this series yet. It has been on my TBR list for a while and I'm getting tired of getting to its position on my list. I might have to skip to it so I can read
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add my email paaj(_)xyoo(at)yahoo(dot)com
DeleteSandy, I hear you on the TBR list. I read a great book yesterday (Antidote to Murder by Felicity Young) which I've had for nearly a year. At least I know if it's there, I will EVENTUALLY get to it! Hope you enjoy Rogue and Rake when you get to it - and hey, Duke's along in August!
DeleteWonderful to read through the letters thank you.
ReplyDeletemarypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Thanks so much, Mary! So glad you enjoyed the letters!
DeleteHi Anna!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Genevieve and Richard when I first "met" them in A Rake's Midnight Kiss and loved there letters to each other!
I must admit it took me back to the time when my husband would write to me when he was in the Navy during Vietnam (yes letters, no internet or Sype back in those days!). Of course it could be weeks between the time he wrote them and I received them but they were always re-read many times over!
I think that actually reading someones thoughts make more of a impact sometimes than just talking to them. Even though I missed hearing his voice I think that the written word which is "thought" about before committing to paper cane more fully explain a person true thoughts as opposed to just an email that I might be sent to many people instead of just one!
Are you still excited about getting a "real" letter instead of just a quick phone call or email as I am?
Jeanne, you put that absolutely beautifully. I so agree with you about the superiority of real letters. I think it's such a pity that hardly anyone writes them anymore. When I lived in England for two years, my mother and I wrote to each other every week. I kept all her letters and she kept all mine. Now she's gone, it's so precious having that record of that time. If we'd emailed - not that my mum would have emailed! - I'd have read and deleted.
DeleteAnything written by Anna will bring you laughter, tears, joy, happiness and a jolt of lusty behavior you won't easily forget. And Anna is just a super all round great person too.
ReplyDeleteWow, Amy, I want that on a T-shirt! Thank you so much! xxx
DeleteI love reading Anna's books and love letters are a real weakness of mine... the two together should be wonderful!! I would LOVE to have a print copy!!

Sue, I've been so lucky with covers. Have you seen the one for What a Duke Dares? Just luscious! I have consultation rights on the covers but that basically means them showing me what they're going with and me going, "Wow, that's gorgeous!"
DeleteBeautiful book cover and very interesting description of the story.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Olga. That cover is lovely, isn't it?
DeleteOnce again you just reinforced my desire to read this new story of yours! I cannot wait! The letters are simply wonderful and deliciously written. I look forward to more.
