The beautiful cover for Wilde in Love was just released. The only thing more beautiful is the stunning stepback! Eloisa is particularly proud because she was at the shoot, watching the models laughing with each other, and asked for a joyous shot. It’s a new look in stepbacks, and we love it so much that we made space for it on the website. We know you’re going to love it too!
As always, if you loved signed books and want a copy of Wilde in Love (the gorgeous stepback, alas, won’t appear in the e-book), you can order from Eloisa’s next-door indy bookstore, Book Culture. They’ll have signed hardcover and paperback copies, and you can specify whatever greeting you’d like Eloisa to write in the book.
BEAUTIFUL! Here it is, the cover for Wilde in Love!!
Visit Eloisa’s website to see the stunning stepback and watch a video of the photo shoot. Honestly, we all love it so much. The models had great chemistry and it really shows through in the final cover. Hop over to Eloisa’s Facebook page and let her know what you think of the cover.
