Apologies for forgetting about the Lonely Heart contest last week, my leeetle bunnies. But I’m back, now—somehow managed to wrangle my brain back from its wanderings on Omicron Persei 8—and this week’s is a gooood one. As always, first one to correctly guess the author’s name, the title of the book and the heroine’s full name will be bestowed with a prize above pearls (or *koff* pearl necklaces): A Smart Bitch title. Hooray!
I’m a Regency miss who seeks escape from dissolute father who’s willing to use me to settle his gambling debts. Prefer pale and interesting aristocrats, pulse optional; am willing to put up with blood-breath in the morning and help break curses by nookifying during a strategic time of the year.


OMG, I know this one!
But I already have a title, dammit.
The Vampire Viscount,by Karen Harbaugh… heroine is Leonore Farleigh.
Adding to the above, because I was trying to be fast… I can’t believe I actually had a chance to answer! These are usually posted when I’m not home.
YES! Woohoo! Way to go, Karen.
Man … I’m always just a little too late!
Congrats, Karen!
Leonore Farleigh from The Vampire Viscount by Karen Harbaugh
He needs a virgin cursebreaker, she wants a life…
Oooh, yay! I’ve wanted a Smart Bitch title for forever! (It’s one of my “keeper” books, though I think my favorite of hers is “The Devil’s Bargain,” because the way the Eveline uses her brain to scam the Devil).
Smart bitches, trashy books, and a Futurama reference. This is why I loff you guys.
