Cover Reveal: Sanctuary

Have I ever told y’all how much I love my cover designer? Well, I do, and here you can see why. L.J. has done it again, creating a really awesome mashup of two of my favorite characters, Jerusha Mankiller and Drew Martin.

I’ve been dying to write this story since I met Drew. He’s quite the guy. Ok, his language is a tad foul (or a lot, depending on your tolerance), but he’s a big sweetie. He and Jerusha were really great to work with. I hope y’all enjoy them as much as I have.

Now, I know I’m a little early with this, but I’m setting Sanctuary up for pre-order and getting the print edition done early so I’ll have time to work on that special surprise I mentioned a couple of days ago. (There’s a huge hint on my Facebook page.) Stay tuned for more information on all that. In the meantime, here’s a gander at Sanctuary‘s description:

Jerusha Mankiller has found herself in a lot of tight spots during her century and a half of living, but her current assignment takes the cake. Her mother, the formidable Blade, has sent her halfway around the world to investigate clues to the locations of Sanctuary and the City of the Sisters. The catch? Her cover is as the wife of her brother’s best friend, a former Delta Force Operator with a smart attitude and a wicked smile.

Playing somebody’s husband isn’t a new cover for Drew Martin, but it’s the first time he’s partnered a woman he’s got the hots for. Unfortunately, Jerusha treats him like her kid brother, and when she’s not, she’s instituted a strictly hands-off policy. One kiss wouldn’t kill her, would it? And at least then he’d know if the wild attraction tugging at him affected her, too.

Tracking down decades-old leads isn’t exactly easy, though. Soon, Jerusha and Drew have their hands full countering the problems cropping up around every corner. Someone is tailing them, the Shadow Enemy turns up in the unlikeliest of places, and an ancient Daughter sets her cap for Drew, leaving him wondering what could possibly go wrong next. 

Sanctuary‘s official release date is 14 August 2015, a little over a month away. While you’re waiting, hop on over to L.J.’s website Mayhem Cover Creations and peruse her fine portfolio of cover designs.

ETA: Whoops! I almost forgot the most important thing. Sanctuary‘s first scene is up on the book’s page, ready for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!
