You Can't Judge a Book by its Cover???

Or… Around the World with THIRTY NIGHTS WITH A HIGHLAND HUSBAND

Something extraordinarily cool happened for me last year. Well, extraordinarily cool by my standards, anyway. Foreign rights were sold for a couple of my books to wonderful publishers in both Germany and in Japan. That happened in April 2009 and since then, I’ve sort of put it in the back of my mind.

Today, the coolest thing showed up in my mail… copies of my first book released in Japan!!! It was almost as exciting as holding my first release in my hands almost three years ago. It certainly looked like a totally different book.
And it got me thinking… maybe you guys would like to see how the different countries portray the same book.

So here it is. My first published book,


THIRTY NIGHTS WITH A HIGHLAND HUSBAND, released by
Pocket Books in July, 2007. I love this cover. Truly, it set the tone for my entire series and each time I see my newest release cover, I feel like I’ve been blessed by the cover faeries all over again!







Here’s the cover for the same book released by
Magnolia Romance in Japan. Today was the first time I saw this cover. It reminds me of one of the kind of RPG I love to play in my downtime.

It’s so dreamy and simple and lovely.





Finally, here’s the cover of the German edition
which will be released in October of this year by
Droemer Knaur.


Same book, three totally different looks.







Now it’s your turn. What do you think? Have a favorite among the three?
