Cover Discovery: Lauren Dane - Inside Out (Cope's story)

Sometimes you wake up to the best of news and this time my inner cover lover was purring with delight. My visual senses got one of the most sensual wake-up calls in a long time :) Lauren Dane has some of the best covers out there that caresses the visual senses. The teasers she put out there for Cope's story are fantabulous and I'm counting the days until his release. When we had Brody's Beefcake night she dropped a little bomb telling us Cope has a chinese dragon on his back. My jaw dropped to my keyboard when I saw Inside Out's cover reveal at Lauren Dane's blog. This is made of pure awesome and lovin' it up. Perhaps many of you already had the premiere of this cover last night and it is at these moments that I truly hate the time difference. But anyone who knows me a little also knows I don't need much of an excuse to place some hot cover candy on my blog so without further ado, here's Cope and his cover for INSIDE OUT:

WORTH THE WAIT
Ella Tipton is a survivor. In the wake of an attack that left her nearly dead, she’s spent each day putting her life back together. Once vibrant and outgoing, she’s needed to reclaim the best parts of who she was while retaining the hard won lessons. There hasn’t been room for any romantic entanglements, even if she were ready. Still, it didn’t mean she had to stop sneaking looks at Mister Tall, Dark and Tattooed himself.

Security professional Andrew Copeland isn’t quite sure when his jones for the lovely and decidedly skittish Ella developed. He’s known her for years, has watched her triumph over the pain she’d been dealt. Cope is no stranger to women, but he knows the nervous flush he gets every time he talks to her is different than any attraction he’s had in the past. Determined to get Ella to let him in, Andy does the one thing he can think of to get close: he offers her hands-on training in self-defense.

While Ella’s sure he’s just being nice, the prospect of being able to touch him and gain the tools to push away the last vestiges of her fear is more than she can resist. Soon enough, Cope shows Ella his feelings are far more than friendly and re-ignites something deep inside her. Before long desire and love turn them both inside out.
