\"Dark<\/a>

He\u2019s her worst enemy–and he’s got a drug that controls her. Now he can do his worst. Dark Chemistry. Because evil can take the shape of love.<\/p><\/div>\n

I admit it. I made a mistake.<\/p>\n

When I first released Dark Chemisty<\/em>, I let myself be seduced by the cliche that “sex sells.”<\/p>\n

It does, of course–but it was a bad idea for this book. Dark Chemistry<\/em> is a plot-driven novel, but it’s also got a bit of concept to it. Putting a woman in a bustier on the cover didn’t really reflect the experience I’m trying to create with this novel.<\/p>\n

(This business takes a lot of work to figure out…)<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m working through all my titles to do new covers, and my hunt led me to Jennie Rawlings<\/a>, who agreed to do a new cover for Dark Chemistry<\/em>–and I LOVE what she did.<\/p>\n

As I said on Twitter, I finally feel like my book has a face that fits :)<\/p>\n

But now I have a question and you can help. I’ve got two different drafts of teaser copy, one for the Kindle version, one for the print version.<\/p>\n

Which do you like best?<\/p>\n

Here they are — and please scroll down to the survey below so you can let me know your choice. Thank you!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

KINDLE VERSION<\/p>\n

She\u2019s been drugged.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

It feels so good. Like love.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a trick. He plans to control her. Rob her. Maybe kill her.<\/p>\n

A web of evil.<\/p>\n

Will Haley realize that her feelings are not her TRUE feelings?<\/p>\n

Does Donavon have the strength left to fight for the woman he loves?<\/p>\n

Will the two of them uncover Gerad’s plot to use powerful synthetic pheromones to enslave the world?<\/p>\n

And even if they do \u2013 can they stop it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PRINT VERSION<\/p>\n

If Haley Dubose wants to inherit her father’s fortune, she has no choice. She has to leave sunny Southern California for a little backwater town in Upstate New York, and run a chemical manufacturing company he founded — for two whole years.<\/p>\n

But Haley soon wishes her only problems were of the spoiled-rich-girl variety.<\/p>\n

She finds herself entangled in a web of evil, spun by men who use powerful, synthetic chemicals to manipulate people.<\/p>\n

They can drive their enemies insane.<\/p>\n

They can manipulate them sexually.<\/p>\n

They can even kill.<\/p>\n

And they are preparing to enslave the world.<\/p>\n
