Big News from Carly Phillips Plus a Cover Reveal!!!

News from Carly: 

Dear Readers,

I know I’ve been teasing everyone for a while now about some
exciting news that I have in the works. And I now have the official go-ahead to
tell the world what’s coming next for me!   Are you ready? I’m so
ready to share. I’ve been DYING to shout from the rooftops and have had a hard
time keeping the news to myself. But here you go:

I’m going Indie.

That’s right. Instead of publishing my next series of books
with a traditional publisher, I’ve decided to self-publish the series.
 Don’t worry, I’ll explain what this means for you.  But first …Why
am I making the switching to Indie you ask? Well after a lot of
research and many debates with myself, I made the decision to self-publish my next
series for one primary reason: YOU, my
readers
. The rise and success of self-publishing has obviously made a huge
impact on the industry, and many of my readers have reached out to me
personally, encouraging me to make some changes.

Although my publishers have always been very good to me and I’ve
very much enjoyed working with them, there is a good reason for me to make the
switch. More control.  Making the move to indie is giving me more control
over my books. I’m no longer tied to a specific word count set by a publisher.
I have more control over the editing process. I can make the final decisions on
covers, release dates, blurbs and content. And the most important factor: I now
sets the price points of my books.  Making the switch to self-publishing
is giving me total control to make both
myself and you, my readers very, very happy. 

Now the answer to WHAT’S NEXT … The first
book in my brand new Dare to Love series (also titled Dare
to Love
) is set to release on November 18th 2013.

Blurb:

New York Times Bestselling Author Carly
Phillips turns up the heat in her newest sexy contemporary romance series,
and introduces you to the Dare family… siblings shaped by a father’s secrets
and betrayal. 

Since finding out his father had another
family on the side, Ian Dare swore to be the upstanding, responsible man his
cheating parent had never been.  When it comes to his relatives, he gives
his all but in relationships he offers the bare minimum.  But one glimpse
of sensual Riley Taylor arouses his dominant and protective
instincts and Ian is entranced.  He will do anything to possess her …
and does.  But any future with Riley must include him extending an olive
branch to the half-brother who is a constant reminder of the pain he’d rather
forget.

Independent and always in control, Riley
Taylor makes no apologies for choosing men carefully.  Relationships have
never been a priority and she believes herself hardened to domineering men –
until she meets charismatic Ian Dare.  He manages to turn a simple kiss
into an all out assault on her senses and when he takes control in the bedroom,
she’s stunned to discover she likes it. As their affair heats up, they soon
realize they complete each other in ways neither imagined.  But Riley’s
past is closer than she cares to remember, and her struggles with Ian’s
dominance might just cost her everything.

Coming soon, you can pre-order DARE TO LOVE exclusively
at iTunes. On the day of release, you can find the books on Amazon,
Barnes and Noble and Kobo. In addition, the book will be available in
paperback too! Of course I’ll send a newsletter, but be sure to follow
me on social media (links below) in order to get the most up to date
information as it happens! For my paperback readers: This bears repeating: YES these books will available in paperback as well as eBook!  

A fun note about the story. In the past
my books have been sweet and sexy contemporaries with a small town setting, but
with Dare to Love I’m turning up the heat. The Dare to Love Series will be
steamier, sexier and hotter than anything I’ve ever written. And I can not wait
for you to read it!
