This is so ‘update your website month’ in romanceland. Karen Hawkins has a new look at her site. The whole thing has a look funny author feel to it. Think this ties into “branding”. I have never really thought of Hawkins as the funny girl romance writer. Maybe that was what I missed…

I really like the new cover for her next book but it really doesn’t scream historical to me. Maybe that is just me…

How To Abduct a Highland Lord by Karen Hawkins
Release: January 30th, 2007

CAN SHE?

Shy, quiet Regency miss, Fiona MacLean, must save her brothers from becoming embroiled in a centuries old feud that could mean the death of them all. All she has to do is commit one, teeny, tiny, barely noticeable . . . crime.

WILL HE?

Sinfully handsome Black Jack Kincaid has spent his entire life philandering with other men’s willing wives, trying to forget beautiful, wilful Fiona MacLean, so he’s shocked when he awakens one day and discovers himself married to that very lass! Will he help her save her brothers and end a centuries old family feud? Can he accept being married to the woman who broke his heart so many years ago? And now that he has her, can he afford to let her go?

Look for To Scotland, With Love in August 2007 and To Catch a Highlander in January 29, 2008.
