This week's cover crush:
~The Emperor's Conspiracy by Michelle Diener
Paperback, 336 pages
Published November 27th 2012 by Gallery Books
From nineteenth-century London’s elegant ballrooms to its darkest slums, a spirited young woman and a nobleman investigating for the Crown unmask a plot by Napoleon to bleed England of its gold.~Why I love this cover:
Chance led to Charlotte Raven’s transformation from chimney sweep to wealthy, educated noblewoman, but she still walks a delicate tightrope between two worlds, unable to turn her back on the ruthless crime lord who was once her childhood protector.
When Lord Edward Durnham is tapped to solve the mystery of England’s rapidly disappearing gold, his search leads him to the stews of London, and Charlotte becomes his intriguing guide to the city’s dark, forbidding underworld. But as her involvement brings Charlotte to the attention of men who have no qualms about who they hurt, and as Edward forges a grudging alliance with the dangerous ghosts of Charlotte’s former life, she faces a choice: to continue living in limbo, or to close the door on the past and risk her heart and her happiness on an unpredictable future.
This is my favorite cover of 2012! I love how it's all about the girl in a fancy dress being in a dark, dirty street. You have to wonder why she's there and how she came there. You have to read the book to find out! ;)
Definitely an intriguing cover. Thanks for sharing.
