Hey beautiful peeps! Do I have another treat for you! 

OVERSEAS, the highly anticipated debut from my very good friend, BEATRIZ WILLIAMS, is out! 

When twenty-something Wall Street analyst Kate Wilson attracts the notice of the legendary Julian Laurence at a business meeting, no one’s more surprised than she is. Julian’s relentless energy and his extraordinary intellect electrify her, but she’s baffled by his sudden interest. Why would this handsome British billionaire—Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor—pursue a pretty but bookish young banker who hasn’t had a boyfriend since college?

I had the opportunity to read this WAAAAAY before most everyone else *flicks dust off shoulder* and this tale is simply delicious! I loved it so much, I offered to host a giveaway for Beatriz here. 

And just in case you haven't heard about this book, sprinkled among the early accolades for Ms. Williams's magical tale are starred reviews from Publisher's Weekly and Library Journal ("the ultimate romantic fantasy"), it was named a "Notable Debut" for May by Book Browse, and it has received high praise from bestselling authors where words  like "impressive," "irresistible", and "delicious" pop up all over the place. 

So, what did I have to say about it? Just this: 

"Oveseas is written with a magical depth that kept me utterly glued to the page. It is sexy and heart-wrenching, and it was impossible to put down until I devoured every last breathtaking word. Bravo, Ms. Williams. You are about to become immortal." 

Putnam has agreed to give away a SIGNED HARDCOVER to one lucky winner from my blog! 

WOOT! 

(Okay, I know I get excited, but I just really loved this book.) 

Here's more about Beatriz: 

A graduate of Stanford University with an MBA from Columbia, Beatriz spent several years in New York and London hiding her early attempts at fiction, first on company laptops as a corporate and communications strategy consultant, and then as an at-home producer of small persons. She now lives with her husband and four children near the Connecticut shore, where she divides her time between writing and laundry.

SEE! She's got smarts AND she writes a tale you will never forget!
