Book Blast: Christmas in Cornwall by Tamara Gill




CHRISTMAS IN CORNWALL
GENRE: Regency Holiday Romance

After two failed seasons in town, May Stanford sees her future no longer with her family, but in a nearby convent where she’ll not be anyone’s financial burden.

 But before she can embark onher new life, May must complete her dealings with the local smugglers, men who have kept aroof over her family’s head during frugal times. One last Christmas at home and her life would change forever. So when William Scott, the Earl of Grandison arrives and crumbles her perfectly planned future to rubble, May is less than pleased.

William, Lord Grandison works for the Crown, and is determined to catch the nuisance Englishmen who dare smuggle along the Cornwall coast. William has never veered from his pursuit of these men working against the law, that was until he meets May Stanford, the maddening daughter of his host for Christmas. May drives him to distraction and forces him to admit to feelings he has never felt before.

But when May and William discover the crippling truth of each other, their secrets will threaten to tear them apart.



Excerpt One:

May’s little brother sat beside her, staring in silence at the ocean to the left of the carriage. He
was angry at her decision, his sullen face throwing daggers at her every so often. But she
refused to be a burden to him in the years to come. It would be hard enough for her sibling to
keep the estate without the added stress of a spinster sister who ate his food and needed
clothing and board. Becoming a nun allowed her the life she wanted to lead without straining her
family’s coffers.

“Explain to me again just why a beautiful young woman such as you wishes to lock herself away
in such a place. Now, don’t get me wrong, May, I’ve always encouraged you to make your own
decisions, but it’s a convent. You’ll be married to God. I fear you will regret your choice,” her
father said.

May cringed, hating his dejected tone, or that she’d had the same argument numerous times
with her papa. Today, finally, she’d been able to persuade him to make the five-mile trip to the
convent and meet the mother superior. It may not have been what she’d always wanted, but it
was for the best considering her changed opinion on husbands and the family’s circumstances,
which were worsening every year. “This is my choice to make. I know it’s not something you
agree with, but I’ll be happy there. I know I will.”

Release Day Blitz A Stolen Season by Tamara Gill



A Stolen Season  by Tamara Gill
Publishers: Entangled: Select Historical
Published: February 23rd, 2014
Pages: 222

One small mistake in the past will change everything about her future...

Archaeologist Sarah Baxter just broke one of the biggest rules of time travel: leaving a piece of 21st­century equipment in 19th century Regency England.

Unfortunately, when she goes back to retrieve it, she makes an even bigger mess of things—resulting in the death of an English Earl. Now his brother is not only out for revenge, but he also has Sarah's device. Which means an entirely different approach is needed. It doesn't occur to the new Earl of Earnston that his charming acquaintance is responsible for his brother's death. He is merely swept away by a passion that threatens his very reputation. Yet he gets the distinct impression that Miss Baxter is hiding something from him. Now Sarah must find a way to steal back her device, hide the truth about the earl's brother and—most importantly— not fall in love...
