Submission News and a Cover!
I submitted The Frenchman to my editor last night and I’m thrilled to have it in! Of course, I love it when I was re-reading it, cried while I was polishing, hit send and wondered WHAT I WAS THINKING!!! It’s horrible…it’s awful!!! Okay, I know it’s not, but somehow when I hit send I’m always afraid my nice little MS has morphed itself into soul shredding demon beast on its way from my outbox to my editor’s inbox.
Here’s hoping I’m merely paranoid. *fingers crossed*
And I have REALLY exciting news in the form of…my new cover!! I love it, it’s gorgeous. My hero is shrouded in mystery, my beautiful, elegant heroine clinging to him…*sigh*
It captures the mood of the book so well. *sigh again*
Isabella Rossi is a princess on her way to wed a man she’s never met. But she takes a detour on the way…She wants to experience life in a way she’s never been allowed to. She’s been in training to be a royal wife for most of her life, and has been denied even the most basic things, like shopping in a mall or going to the movies.
Sheikh Adham al bin Sudar, as commander of the Umahran guard, is meant to protect her and deliver her to the High Sheikh.
Adham is her protector, and his loyalty is the High Sheikh, but his feelings for Isabella grow with every moment spent in her company…but acting on them would be a betrayal of the thing Adham prizes the most: his honor.
Oh, and *squee*!!!!
I’m beyond excited for this book to come out, and am so thrilled with the cover! And with the fact that the Frenchman is done….till I get revisions, of course. 🙂

LOVE your new book cover Maisey, it’s hot, hot, hot!
Yay! Glad you like it, Susan! I’m thrilled with it. I love how she’s holding onto him…And I LOVE her manicure!
Great cover, Maisey. Love the defiant look in her eyes and the loose bottom lip that speaks-this is what I want- he’s mine!! Hot!!
Ah..I love that description, Margie! That’s exactly what I see. 🙂 I love my forbidden lovers…
I think that may well be my fave of all the new covers I’ve seen so far 🙂 Really love it!
Your sub can keep mine company, I subbed my medical fast-track partial over the weekend. I feel much the same as you do … hoping I haven’t sent them a big bag of pants!!
Yay, Joanne!! Good for you getting your sub out there. I know, it’s a wretched feeling. I swear to you, all of my confidence has left the building! I was completely in love with the MS until I hit send and now…blech.
But we have to remember that our mind wants us to think it’s a bag of pants…but that doesn’t make it so!
I’m glad you like the cover! I’m all drooly over it. I find it quite emotional, actually. Of course…I know the story. 🙂
Maisey, the cover is hot! I like! I Like!
Oh in my excitement over the cover, forgot to add…Good Luck with the Submission!
Maisey, I think that this cover may be your best one yet. It’s ridiculously hot for two people fully clothed!
I’m ‘squeeing’ too.
Nas, thank you, thank you!! 😀
Aideen, it is isn’t it? And she’s purely Isabella. I don’t think I’ve had a cover that suited the characters so well. And I know you can’t see much of Adham, but I think it’s all the better for it! Keeps him that man of mystery that he is. 🙂
A really evocative cover!
*claps* Yay!! I’m being so silly about it. I keep staring…and feeling all the longing between them…*sighs again*
“Here’s hoping I’m merely paranoid” – LOL!
Gorgeous cover! I feel like if I could just angle the book right I could get better glimpse of Adham. It’s devious and delicious.
Lacey, me being horribly paranoid is better than my MS having transformed into teh ebils mid-send.
Hehe…Sadly, you only get a tease of Adham…but you get ALL of him if you read the book!
OMG, that cover is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it. And triple-squee on sending the Frenchman to haunt your ed! Well done, you 🙂
Oooooh!! Glad you like it too, Maya!! I’m in love. 😀 And even though I’d love to ogle the hero, it keeps his sheikhy mystery. LOL.
And thank you re the Frenchman, we’ll see what the ed says…I’m reminding myself in advance that her revisions are always spot on and make the book a million times better!
Aaah, teh Sheikh! I loves that book. And the cover – truly one equal to the book. And the Frenchman will work. I can understand your nervousness though! 🙂
Yeah, I love this book too, which makes the cover all the better! All my blog regulars know I nearly killed myself writing it. 🙂
And yes, the Frenchman is skeery right now. I need to do a blog post about it…therapy. 😀
