Happy Book Release Day, Caroline Warfield!

Picture
Welcome back to Bits n Bobs, Caroline.  Is this the actual release day for Dangerous Works?

It is! Soul Mate Publishing has made it available on Amazon. I’m delighted to finally have it out there for readers.  Here is the buy link:

Congratulations! Now, tell us a bit
about the story. What works are so dangerous?


Women in the regency era led pretty constrained lives. Some people (ok some MEN) believed too much education would actually harm their delicate sensibilities. My heroine, Georgiana, despises that attitude. When she gets deep into the poems with the help of a very attractive tutor, however, she begins to understand why some people might think her work is dangerous. A little Greek is one thing; the art of love is another. Before she knows it her heart is in danger alongside her virtue.  

What is your favorite scene?

There is a scene in which she is furious with the hero for taking steps to publish their work without consulting her. She stomps up the stairs to his study thinking up every insult she can hurl at him only to fall into his arms at the top of the steps.  

Where did you get the idea for a story about woman who translates Greek poetry?

I love the Regency era but I try to avoid the conventional London drawing room.  I’m always looking for settings and stories about smart women. Women scholars now study women writers in the classical era. I asked myself what a woman would have faced in the early 19th century if she attempted that research.  She would have been barred from the best universities and libraries. It was fun to put her in Cambridge.

Your hero is pretty beaten up.  Where did that come from?

I have a weakness for damaged alpha heroes.   In this case I needed a reason for a soldier to be returning home to a university town. Georgiana uses his injuries as a way to insinuate herself into his life and manipulate him into helping her with her work.           

Are you looking for settings for your next book?

Dangerous Secrets will be out next winter, also from Soul Mate Publishing. It is set in Rome in 1820, when Keats and Shelley lived there.    The hero is another veteran of Waterloo, this one down on his luck and hiding out.


Another intriguing story! Thank you so much for sharing with us today! I wish you much success as a writer!

Cover Reveal! Dangerous Works by Caroline Warfield

Picture
Caroline is excited to share her new cover with us- and it looks wonderful! Due to be released September 3, 2014, Dangerous Works is a Regency Romance you are sure to enjoy! Take a moment to read a bit about it and let us know what you think.

Blurb:
Even poetry, with its musical lyrics and sensual traps, can be dangerous when you partner with the love of your life.  In Regency Cambridge it can lead a lady quickly past improper to positively scandalous. 

A little Greek is one thing; the art of love is another.  Only one man ever tried to teach Lady Georgiana Hayden both.  She learned very young to keep her heart safe.  She learned to keep loneliness at bay through work. If it takes a scandalous affair to teach her what she needs to complete her work, she will risk it.  If the man in question chooses not to teach her, she will use any means at her disposal to change his mind.  She is determined to give voice to the ancient women whose poetry has long been neglected.

Some scars cut deeper than others. Major Andrew Holden returns to Cambridge a battle scarred hero. He dared to love Georgiana once and suffered swift retribution from her powerful family. The encounter cost him eleven years of his life.  Determined to avoid her, he seeks work to heal his soul and make his scholar father proud. The work she offers risks his career, his peace of mind, and (worst of all) his heart. Can he protect himself from a woman who almost destroyed him? Does he want to?
