Laura Lee Guhrke will be signing her newest historical romance Trouble at the Wedding, the third book in her Abandoned at the Altar Series.

Laura Lee Guhrke spent seven years in advertising, had a successful catering business, and managed a construction company before she decided writing books was more fun.
From the publication of her very first historical romance, Laura has received numerous honors and critical acclaim for her novels and her writing style. Her books have been seen on both the USA Today and New York Times Bestseller Lists. In addition, Laura has been honored with the most prestigious award of romance fiction, the Romance Writers of America RITA Award, and she has been a RITA finalist five times.  Laura can be found skiing the slopes, wakeboarding across the lakes, and fly fishing the streams of her beautiful home state of Idaho.

Also joining us is Julie Anne Long signing How the Marquess Was Won, the newest in her Pennyroyal Green Series.

San Francisco Bay Area native Julie Anne Long originally set out to be a rock star when she grew up (and she has the guitars and fringed clothing stuffed in the back of her closet to prove it), but writing was always her first love. She began her academic career as a journalism major, until she realized creative writing was a better fit for her freewheeling imagination and overdeveloped sense of whimsy.  She finally gave up her dream of being a rock star, and turned her love of history and Jane Austen into a successful writing career.  Since then, her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Rita, Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice, the Holt Medallion, Bookseller's Best, and The Quills, and reviewers have been known to use words like "dazzling," "brilliant," and "impossible to put down" when describing them.

The Scandal Sheets call him Lord Ice.

Ruthless, cold, precise, Julian Spenser, Marquess Dryden, tolerates only the finest— in clothes, in horseflesh, in mistresses. And now he’s found the perfect bride, the one whose dowry will restore his family’s shattered legacy and bring him peace at last: the exquisite heiress Lisbeth Redmond.

She's about to play with fire...

But one unforgettable encounter with Lisbeth’s paid companion, Phoebe Vale, and the Marquess is undone. This quiet girl with the wicked smile and a wit to match is the first person to see through the icy faÇade to the fiery man beneath. But their irresistible attraction is a torment as sweet as it is dangerous, for surrendering to their desire could mean losing everything else they ever wanted.
