BOOKBUB FEATURED DEAL! #FREE The Spinster and Mr. Glover (The Revised Edition) by Karyn Gerrard @KarynGerrard #TorturedHero #Historical





Anne Sommer, a spinster firmly on the shelf, does the unthinkable. She hires a man from the Blind Cupid brothel for several nights of scandalous pleasure. Anne wants the sensual memories to keep her company in the lonely years ahead. However, she did not expect the young man to move her in ways she never imagined.

Desmond Glover gives sexual gratification—for a price. An orphan whose childhood was mired in scandal and poverty; Desmond has learned to close off his emotions, especially with regard to his occupation. He did not count on a lonely spinster to awaken his hidden passion.

Not only do the years separate them, but so do their social standing. Can Anne and Desmond cross such a chasm and find mutual desire—or love?

THROWBACK THURSDAY: The Governess and the Beast (Blind Cupid #2) by Karyn Gerrard @KarynGerrard #historical #gothic @ERomNews







THE GOVERNESS AND THE BEAST
  • ASIN : B01GWAFH3Q
  • Publisher : KG Publishing (June 9, 2016)
  • Publication date : June 9, 2016
Gothic/Victorian Romance


blurb: With a new name and an eagerness to begin a new life, Lila Jenner answers an ad for a governess and embarks on an adventure she did not expect. Hiding secrets and a past she longs to forget, she is disappointed to find out she has been employed to be a companion of a different sort: To a man who embodies both beauty and the beast.

In a gothic, crumbling manor on the edge of a North Sea cliff, Baron Simon Wolstenholme is cloistered away from society. Horribly scarred from battle wounds, the baron lives up to his infamous title “The Beast of Stonecliff” in appearance and attitude and comes to the realization he’s been alone too long.


Simon bargains with Lila for a singular night of passion. A storm rages outside, but it cannot compare to the clash of emotions between a lonely man and a distrustful woman. Secret desires are revealed, hearts are laid bare. Many obstacles lay before them until they can admit their true feelings, though pride could destroy the fairy tale before it begins.

NOW AVAILABLE! The Spinster and Mr. Glover (The Revised Edition) by Karyn Gerrard @KarynGerrard #Historical #Victorian





When this story was originally published under another title, it was a very short story for a digital publisher’s specific line for short stories. When I received the rights back, I expanded the story from 9000 words to about 17,000. 

Since it’s a re-release, I’ve had people say they wish they could spend more time with the characters. I realized that I wished the same. So, I decided to revisit this story and revise and expand it. Again.

I know, perhaps I should just leave it alone, but it's my story, and I will do what I want *wink* This is the great advantage of self-publishing. :)

It will not have a new ISBN, I will just update the file and the cover, which means anyone who already has a copy only has to go to their kindle account and update the file. Anyone buying it from the day of the update forward will get the new version.
