Giveaway: My Forbidden Desire by Carolyn Jewel

June Giveaway



Thanks to Anna at Hachette, I have 5 copies of My Forbidden Romance by Carolyn Jewel to give away.

Synopsis from Amazon:

TORN BETWEEN...


Alexandrine Marit is a witch in mortal danger. An evil mage craves the powerful, mysterious talisman that supplies her magic, and the only person who can keep her safe is a dark and dangerous fiend called Xia. With his fierce animosity toward witches, he's hardly the ideal bodyguard. Yet as days turn into nights, she can't deny the white-hot passion between them.


DESIRE AND TEMPTATION


Xia hates witches. They enslave and mercilessly kill his kind. But he's been ordered to protect Alexandrine, who, to his surprise, has a spirit he admires and a body he longs to possess. With the mage and his henchmen closing in, Alexandrine and her protector must trust the passion that can unite them...or risk losing everything to the enemies who can destroy them both.


I'll be reviewing it and doing a Q&A with Carolyn soon but here are the contest guidelines early:
