ENCHANTING NICHOLETTE: Cover Real Time + GIVEAWAY!

My newest novella, Enchanting Nicholette, is a historical romance written from First Person Point of View, like all of my other books. It is part of The Everstone Chronicles Series, but is also a stand-alone story. And not really that short, compared to most novellas... it's sitting pretty at 50,000 words, so it's more like a shorter novel. :)

It hits bookstores October 9, 2018! 

And not only do I have the cover for you here, but so much more! 

If you simply cannot wait to read my long awaited offering to the published book world, there is a way you can read it EARLY. 

Like, on June 19th. 

(which also happens to be my husband's birthday!) 

And for practically FREE. 

Well, almost free. 

For 99 cents... but for those 99 cents, you also get six other novellas by some author friends of mine! And it sort of feels like we're giving them away, because not a single one of us is actually getting paid, but instead we're donating the proceeds to charity. 

If you want to know more about the different novellas and their authors right now, click here. 

And here, if you want to add it to GoodReads?

If you want to pre-order this fabulous collection of novellas by well-established and award-winning authors, click here. 

If you want a chance to win a $30 Amazon Gift Card AND the full set of The Everstone Chronicles in paperback... keep scrolling down.

And if you want to see the full version of The Everstone Chronicles/Whitaker House cover of Enchanting Nicholette.... 













keep scrolling...













I promise, it's worth it!














And... here it is! (squeal!)

What do you think? 

Personally, I LOVE IT. 

And if you want to PRE-ORDER this lovely, darling book just so you can have this fabulous cover on your bookshelf to grab and re-read anytime you feel like swooning and sighing... or your kindle... because it will look great there too... click here!

I know October is a million years away... oh, how I know. But you can at least add it to your reading list on GoodReads until you're able to have that baby in your hands.

AND ALSO THE COMPLETE EVERSTONE CHRONICLES SERIES IN PAPERBACK!

The blurb

Young, widowed, and newly out of mourning, Nicholette Everstone is an heiress yearning to know true love. She’d been fortunate her parents had arranged for her to marry her loving late husband, but the marriage ended tragically on her wedding day. Bereft and alone, she returns home to Boston after being away for two years, to find there’s someone new to her set of friends and family she can’t help but fall for. But when she learns of the danger and sacrifices this man takes on for the safety of others, will her heart be strong enough to keep her fears of “what if” at bay?

V

Sent away for protection, hotel heiress Estella Everstone finds herself living undercover as a lady’s companion named Elle Stoneburner at one of her father’s opulent hotels in the mountains of Maine—the one she'd always loved best and always hoped to own one day, Everston. The one thing she doesn't like about the situation is that her ex-fiancé is in the area and is set on marrying someone else. Reeling from her feelings of being unwanted and unworthy, Estella reluctantly forms a friendship with the gruff manager of Everston, Dexter Blakeley, who seems to have something against wealthy young socialites with too much money, although they are just the kind of people Everston caters to.

When Estella finds herself in need of help, Dexter comes to the rescue with an offer she can't refuse. She sees no other choice aside from going back home to her family and accepts the position as companion to his sister. Throughout her interactions with Dexter, she can't deny the pull that's evidenced between them every time he comes near. Estella realizes that while she's been hiding behind a false name and identity, she’s never been freer to be herself than when she's with Dexter Blakeley. But will he still love her when he finds out she's Estella Everstone? She's not entirely sure.

WHAT SOME OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MY BOOKS!

--LORI BENTON, Award winning author of Burning Sky, The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn and The Wood's Edge
 
"A love story to savor, THE HESITANT HEIRESS is a gentle Gilded Age courtship that delightfully teases, taunts, and takes the heroine--and the reader--by surprise with a tale of mystery and true love revealed."
--JULIE LESSMAN, Author of The Daughters of Boston, Winds of Change, and Heart of San Francisco series

"THE HESITANT HEIRESS features a rich cast of characters set in a world of intrigue, faith, and drama. Dawn Crandall is a new author to watch!"

--SANDRA BYRD, author of Mist of Midnight

"Set in late nineteenth-century America, the Everstone family is wealthy, powerful, and used to getting their own way.

--MICHELLE GRIEP, Author of Brentwood's Ward 

"Romantic! Engaging and absorbing! Dawn Crandall brings America's Gilded Age to life on the page with vintage amour and emotional depth."
