Harlequin turns the big 6-0 today! That’s right, back in 1949 Richard and Mary Bonnycastle of Winnipeg, Manitoba started up a small publishing that has now become the world’s leading publisher of romance fiction.
We’ll be having lots of celebrations throughout 2009 to mark this big birthday, but I’m sure today’s headline is what has caught your interest — and yup, there are indeed 16 free books (in digital format including PDF, MS Reader, ePub, and more) up for grabs at www.HarlequinCelebrates.com starting today. The selection shows jsut how much variety Harlequin publishes, but you paranormal romance fans will interested in the Silhouette Nocturne title Kiss Me Deadly by Michele Hauf!
Here’s blurb:
Death cocktail is what the vampires call a witch’s blood. It’s poisonous—a drop will destroy a vampire within minutes. Nikolaus Drake is the rare vampire who has survived his first taste. Now he’s on the hunt for the witch who almost brought him to his demise—Ravin Crosse.
A witch who spends her nights hunting vampire tribes, Ravin has three obligations to fulfill to set her soul free. One of those obligations—crafting a love spell—twists her world upside down when Nikolaus draws the spell from her veins. Natural enemies rarely make the best bedfellows—but is it possible their intentions are really, truly the same? Can Nikolaus’s tribal loyalty survive if he surrenders to desires far darker than his own?
(and there’s a cool glossary, too!)
