A Lonely Wolf and Other Titles

This week I received a package of Scandinavian translations and this morning, as a means of procrastination from a chapter one which isn't cooperating as I would like, I'm feeding the titles into a translation engine. The results are, shall we say, interesting. Four of the five books are The Rugged Loner, paired with my good friend Emilie Rose's Scandalous Passion. I love this cover -- yes, Emilie, I do! I think it's sexy and suggestive and then there's that tattoo on Carter's biceps. Mmmm.

Where was I?

The titles, right. In Finnish--the one pictured--the literal translation is Proposition Merely Thee or Proposal Only You. Take you pick. In Swedish we have An Exclusive Offer. In Norwegian, the rather confuzzling Rescue from Kjaerligheten. I hope that means Escape from Loneliness. That would be nice. Lastly, and my personal favourite, is the Danish A Lonely Wolf. I think that's a pretty decent synonym for Tomas's Rugged Loner, don't you?

Okay, so those are the 4 2-in-1's for Loner, all in the same duo and all with Emilie's gorgeous cover.

The other book in the same package is The Rich Stranger in Danish, the title being The Exuberant Stranger. Which kinda describes Rafe Carlisle nicely.

Anyway, this cover is probably Darlene's but given that my book's set in the dry Australian outback (VERY dry at the moment, but that's another blog for another time) and the Nevada desert around Las Vegas, the snow's a bit unexpected. It's a pretty cover though, and romantic, and as my next book is set in snowy South Dakota in February, a cover just like this would be very welcome and fitting.

Fingers crossed I'll have a similarly gorgeous cover for Back in Fortune's Bed to share with you later this month.
