Yes, even though this Thursday is Thanksgiving here in America, I still have a book giveaway from Bethany House! First, here’s the winner of last week’s book, Holly’s Heart.

The winner is:

Comment #3 — MJ

Congratulations, MJ!

Now, on to this week’s giveaway. Here’s how the giveaways work:

Every Thursday, I post about a new book that’s up for grabs. If it sounds like a book you’d like and you want to be eligible to win it, just leave a comment on the post and I’ll put your name in the virtual hat. I’ll leave the post open for comments until the following Wednesday at noon. I’ll then randomly pick a commenter and announce that person as the winner when I put up the next giveaway.

Please make sure that when you leave a comment, you use a valid email address that you check regularly. Also, I apologize to any international readers, but these giveaways are limited to readers in the U.S. or Canada.

So, without further ado, the next book is:

A Constant Heart
by Siri Mitchell
Two-time Christy Award nominee Siri Mitchell unveils her historical fiction debut.
Set in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, A Constant Heart delivers a stirring romance while confronting the question women have been asking themselves for centuries: “What price would one pay for beauty?”
“Women today still go to great—and dangerous—lengths to mold themselves to our culture’s idea of beauty,” says Mitchell. “The experience of a female in Queen Elizabeth’s court is not so different from nowadays. We still let people tell us what we should wear and how we should look.”
During Queen Elizabeth’s reign, women covered themselves in lead-based paint to attain beauty by Her Majesty’s standard. Through this deadly practice, Mitchell shows the choice and sacrifice one woman must make to gain the only thing she ever wanted—and the only forbidden luxury in the royal court—love.
Born with the face of an angel, Marget Barnardsen has always been fortunate. Now, with her marriage to an earl, her security—and destiny—are guaranteed….or so it seems.
But when her introduction to court goes awry, the Queen’s wrath turns to Marget. Fearing she may lose
her husband forever and all that he has gained, she’ll risk everything—even her life—to capture again the love of a man bound to the Queen.
Poignant and thoughtful, inventive and stirring, A Constant Heart takes you inside the danger, deception, and drama of the court of Queen Elizabeth I.

    I’m enjoying the Fall into Reading Challenge. I’m not doing so well though because I thought I’d do NaNoWriMo as well and that has really cut into my reading time!

    Anyway, that book looks great!
