I met author Olivia Gates at RWA Nationals this past year.  I’ll admit…I was oohing and ahhing over her awesome dress.  I commented on it, we started talking, Stacia Kane, Olivia and I ended up staying up one night until like 3AM.

Olivia is also one of the few people who probably entice me to read a book involving doctors or nurses…*G* because she’s a doctor. I know she’ll get it right.

Olivia lives in Egypt.  As many of you probably have heard, Egypt has been kind of cut off from the world-internet has been blocked.  While this is a smaller scale compared to what’s going on in that country, with the internet being shut down, it means Olivia can’t really promote her new release.  For an author…this can be bad.  So some bloggers are trying to help promote it for her. Since Olivia was so cool, I definitely wanted to do a bit to help.

Here’s the run down I saw over at Karen’s blog…

Born of the desert. Bound to the throne.

He rescued hostage Talia Burke from his royal family’s rival tribe and swept her into his strong embrace. But Prince Harres Aal Shalaan soon discovered there was more to the brave beauty than he knew. Talia held information vital to protecting his beloved kingdom…and she had every reason not to trust him.

Marooned together at a desert oasis, Talia couldn’t resist Harres. Yet even as his sizzling seduction entranced her, his loyalty to his family and country would always make them enemies. Falling for the sheikh would be her heart’s greatest mistake…but she feared it was already too late….
