SCANDALOUS Hits the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List!

This week has been amazing! SCANDALOUS by H.M. Ward (me!) hit the New York Times Bestseller list! I had no idea it was even there. Someone had to tell me.

SCANDALOUS is a steamy contemporary romance where a woman finds herself facing the man and the life she had left behind when a moment of desperation compels her to follow a job lead as an artist’s assistant.

It was my debut romance novel, so this is totally amazing! It was written in one week back in April 2012. Someone awesome wondered what a romance book would look like, if I wrote it. So I did it. That’s where SCANDALOUS came from.

For the past 18 days the book has been in the top 100 on Amazon and hugging the top 100 line on B&N. I changed the cover and put it on sale earlier this month, and it took off.

The first cover shows the painting that’s in the book. I need to figure out how to showcase it, because it’s really cool. If you search for SCANDALOUS on this blog, you’ll see it.

It’s way cool.

The sequel SCANDALOUS 2, will be released on Valentine’s Day, Thursday, February 14, 2013.

That’s right, book #2 – more Jack and Abby! The second novel picks up where the first one left off.  I can’t wait to share it with you! I’m so excited!

And if you gotta see the list to believe it (I did!) here it is. I drew the happy face! It’s totally amazing! I was doing the happy dance all night.

GET SCANDALOUS FOR ONLY 99¢!

       

Thank you to everyone who bought this book and recommended it to their friends. You guys are so freaking awesome, I can’t even tell you! I saw SCANDALOUS plugged all over the place yesterday.

A SCANDALOUS Giveaway! Win a Signed Copy of the Bestseller!

Enter to win a signed copy of the USA Today Bestseller, SCANDALOUS by H.M. Ward

DESCRIPTION: “I see it, Jack. Your muse is back. The thing that gave you passion, tormented you, and haunted you is back. You’re reeling in ecstasy and dread. It’s something you want, but can’t ever have. And the one that brings the pain is pure, white as snow… and standing in front of you.”

One kiss could have changed Abby’s life, but when it didn’t happen, she ran. Jack was everything to her and when he didn’t respond, Abby couldn’t bear it. Everything about that night–leaning in close to his face, feeling the night breeze teasing her hair, the way his scent filled her head–was burned vividly into her mind, including the moment when Jack pulled away. There was no kiss. Abby was wrong. She was wrong about him, wrong about them.
Maybe she didn’t have to go to college two thousand miles away, but she did. She had to forget about him. Abby threw herself off the grid, disappearing completely from the life she knew.  After completing her undergraduate degree, she enrolled in seminary. All contact with her old life was severed and she never looked back, until she was forced to.
When Abby puts idealism into practice, her congregation throws her out. If she can survive a year on her own, they’ll take her back, and continue to pay off her student loans–but if she fails, Abby is on her own with enough debt to fund a small town. Seminary wasn’t cheap. With no place left to go, Abby returns to New York and her best friend takes her in.
Desperate to make it on her own and prove she was right, Abby follows a job lead to an art studio on Long Island. It isn’t until she hears Jack’s voice that she freezes. The hairs on the back of her neck prickle as she turns to see Jack, ten years later, looking even more tempting than before.
Fate is cruel. Abby left this life behind, but she’s thrown back into it, head first. It’s like someone hit rewind on her life and its ten years earlier. She’s the cotton-mouthed girl that she always was around Jack, and now her future relies on the man who rejected her.

SCANDALOUS 2 is scheduled for release February 1, 2013! Enter below!

SECRETS VOL 5 (New Adult Romance) was Released Today!

SECRETS VOL. 5, the final volume of the bestselling SECRETS series by H.M. Ward, was released today!

Description: The pounding in Anna’s heart rings in her ears as she sits naked in the tub. The bath water sloshes around her bare hips, even though she tries to stand without making a sound. All this time, Anna thought someone was following her, but every time she turned around no one was there. The chills that climbed up her spine those few times seemed silly, but not now. Now, they seem horrific. Cole is gone, Emma is at work, and Anna is completely alone. A shadow darkens the space under the door. The metallic clink of a hand touching the knob sends Anna out of her mind. Pulse pounding in her ears, Anna has no other option, but to open the bathroom door and come face to face with her stalker.
