Dreaming of You
2 journalers for this copy...
Maybe I'm biased, but my cover of the book looks much cooler than that image up there. *shrug*
Never in my life did I think I'd be whipping this one out for personal trade. It's one of my all-time favorite romances. I found it sitting on my mother's shelf when I was twelve. Read it, thought it was good, but not stunning. Read it again, and found it fascinating. And I just continutally re-read it every few months and I like it better each time. I've read it so many times I've practically have the words memorized. I guess it has sentimental value. Plus, "Derek Craven." What an awesomely awesome name.
This book is not in the best condition. It's an older copy. The pages are yellow. I realize that I can always buy a new copy if I really want it, and that it's just time to let go. BookCrossing has taught me that. ;) Here's what is says on the back cover:
In the shelter of her country cottage, Sara Fielding put pen to paper to creat dreams. But curiosity has enticed the prim, well-bred gentlewoman out of her safe haven--and into Derek Craven's dangerous world. ...A handsome, tough and tenacious Cockney, her rose from poverty to become lord of London's most exclusive gambling house---a struggle that has left Derek Craven fabulously wealthy, but hardened and suspicious. And now duty demands he allow Sara Fielding into his world---with her impeccable manners and her infuriating innocence. But here, in a periloud shadow-realm of evershifting fortunes, even a proper "mouse" can be transformed into a breathtaking enchantress--and a world-weary gambler can be shaken to his cynical core by the power of passion...and the promise of love."

Mailed to tattsky26 in California today, via media mail. I'm trading for Then Came You by the same author. The couple featured in that book play a role in this one that I'm sending off, so it's all peachy. ;)

I totally agree with you! You may find that "Then Came You" has an older cover too. Pretty cool huh? :-P
Thanks for the trade!
