Waiting on Wednesday (35)

The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

What a beautiful cover! This looks like it is going to be an AMAZING book. I am so excited to get my hands on it!!!

Expected Publication Date: March 4, 2014

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)
Winning what you want may cost you everything you love 

As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. 

One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. 

But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined. 

Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

Cover Reveal: Where We Hide by Dulaney-Glen

Where We Hide
An Adult Contemporary Romance
By Authors Dulaney-Glen
Releasing March 2014
Cover designed by Okay Creations

Description:
It was a wrinkled, white envelope pushed to the back of the mailbox. In it, a note carrying one word written at the top … Tallence. It held everything that I had been hiding from for twelve years ... our past, our memories, the pain, and the hope of healing. Everything that I had given up on in just one letter, and all it said was: Everyone is hiding from something … until we’re not, and that’s when the real struggle begins. When there’s nothing and nowhere left to hide. I’m done hiding. -Grant
