I wanted you to be the first to know that the release date for my new book in the Hope series, HOPE FLAMES, has been moved to January 2014. This was at my publisher’s discretion because they believe moving it to January will help to make the book as successful as it can be. The new release date is January 7^th. I understand you’re all very excited about this book and so am I. We apologize for making you wait, but truly believe this is the best thing for the book.

But I do have some fun news. There will be a contest coming up in mid-November, offered by Berkley, my publisher. They will mail 200 early copies of HOPE FLAMES TO 200 randomly chosen readers. Stay tuned in the coming months for more details about this upcoming contest.

The other good news coming out of all of this is, the first three books in the Hope series will all release next year. HOPE FLAMES will release in January, HOPE IGNITES in April, and HOPE BURNS in October. I’m very excited about this new series and I hope you will be, too.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a Jaci Burton “fix”, I hope you will check out my Play-by-Play e-novella, HOLIDAY GAMES, on sale November 19^th. It will be a sexy, fun, good time with all of your favorite characters from the Play-by-Play series as they celebrate Christmas! You can preorder that from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

And again, thank you for your patience. I’m so sorry you have to wait until next year for the first HOPE book, but I appreciate your understanding.

Hope Flames ARC Giveaway

July 24, 2013Books, Giveaways, Hope Seriesjaciburton

I know everyone was excited about the ARCs for Hope Flames. I was, too. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to delay the giveaway of the ARCs because Berkley is moving the release date for Hope Flames to January of 2014. I’m really bummed about this, as I’m sure you are, too. I’ll have more detailed information about this later, but I don’t want those who entered to go away empty handed, so I did a random draw for 10 winners and I’m giving the winners $25 Amazon gift certificates. If the winner is international, I’ll offer up 2 books of the winner’s choice from the Book Depository, which ships internationally.

If your name is listed below, email me at jaci @ jaciburton. com (without the spaces) and I’ll get your prize to you.

I sincerely apologize for the delay in the ARCS, and the delay in the release of HOPE FLAMES. And I appreciate your patience as we wait for HOPE FLAMES new release date.

I have several ARCS of HOPE FLAMES, the first book in my Hope contemporary romance series, to give away. HOPE FLAMES releases on September 3rd.

When it comes to love, they already know the rules…by heart.

Thirty-two and finally setting up her veterinary practice in the town she once called home, Emma Burnett is on her own and loving it. Independent and driven, she’s not letting any man get in the way of her dreams. Not again.

That’s fine with Luke McCormack. Divorced and hardly lacking in female company when he needs it, he’s devoted to the only faithful companion in his life—his police dog. Still, there’s something about Emma he can’t shake.

When a series of local break-ins leave Emma vulnerable, she seeks help from the one man who sparks her desire for the first time in years. And now they’re giving each other something they thought they’d lost forever…hope.
