A WOMAN CALLED PATIENCE. A DESIRE THAT WOULD PUT HER NAME—AND HER LOVE—TO THE TEST.
Known for her exceptional beauty, Patience Emmalina Dare has been pursued by admirers ever since coming of age. But suitor after suitor fails to inspire her love – or her desire. Certain she will never find a man who touches her deeply, she decides to forgo marriage in favor of pursuing her music. But just when Patience thinks she has her life well in hand, a passionate kiss with her enigmatic brother-in-law awakens a powerful need in her. How will she reconcile her desire for him and her desire for a life that's her own – and what will she do when he shows her a deep and hidden part of herself that she never knew existed?
When the secret of his illegitimate birth pushes Matthew Morgan Hawkmore from his place in society, the darkly handsome half-brother of the Earl of Langley plots his resurrection and his revenge. Betrayed and abandoned by the women he believed loved him, he swears to never again be controlled by love. But despite his vow, he is unable to resist the beautiful Patience, whose strength and self-reliance hide a need that he is perfectly suited to fulfill. Can he have her without loving her? What will he give up to keep her? And will her passionate surrender be the one thing that can stop him from making a tragic mistake that could destroy them both…

SQUEEEEEEE!
by Kati 8:07 AM, December 09, 2008OMG! I can't believe it! Actually, I'll believe it when it's in my hand and not a moment before that.
I don't believe it. I don't know of anyone who has gotten an ARC of this book, for example, and I don't think it was in the January RT.
by meljean brook 10:29 AM, December 09, 2008Like Kati ... I'll believe it when it's in my hand :-)
Get out! Yeah, just around the corner. Not so sure.....
by Lori 10:52 AM, December 09, 2008Isn't it sad that nobody actually believes it?
I just did a quick check at Amazon, it's not even there. When you do a search, you get Passion only. No Patience.
by Kati 10:54 AM, December 09, 2008All Bookstores.com lists it as January 2009.
Borders lists it as January 6 too. It doesn't show at BAM either.
SIGH. I'm not sure what to think.
Still not up on Amazon.
by KT Grant 11:10 AM, December 09, 2008I am with Katie and MB, as soon as I see it in a book store or in my hands, then I will believe it.
Kati, me neither. But maybe I shouldn't be so optimistic, huh?
by Stacy~ 11:21 AM, December 09, 2008Meljean, good point. I think my hopes got ahead of me.
I'm going to pre-order and see what happens...
i want to belieeeeeeve!!! but given the circumstances, i am gonna say "wait until it's in my hot little hands". *sigh*
by sula 12:28 PM, December 09, 2008I'm sooooooooooo hoping that this book is really coming out in January, 2009.
by Danielle 3:21 PM, December 09, 2008Ok - I'll say it even though I've hesitated for the past few minutes....Is this an author that you all love or what? lol
by Tracy 6:15 PM, December 09, 2008I was so excited! Until I saw the comments...now I'm sad again. I don't know if we'll ever see it. :o(
by C2 7:02 PM, December 09, 2008I hate to say this, but I think that's been up for a while, but once again things have changed.
by Kristie (J) 10:38 PM, December 09, 2008I checked Chapters and they wont even let me pre-order it.
by Chantal 5:59 PM, December 11, 2008That's not a good sign.
