Cover Reveal: “Charming the Troublemaker” by Pepper Basham

Welcome to my blog!!! Today, author Pepper Basham is revealing the cover for her upcoming release, Charming the Troublemaker. It’s book 2 in the “Mitchell’s Crossroads” series, an Appalachian romantic comedy that promises plenty of drama, family, and per Pepper’s usual style, a sweet romance.

The first in the series, A Twist of Faith, is an adaptation of sorts of the classic tale My Fair Lady. This second book, Charming the Troublemaker, began as a loose modernization of Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South (AKA 1 of my FAVORITE classics, along with the BBC series presentation!!!!!). However, as Pepper herself says, “the characters had their own ideas”! I’m excited to see exactly what that means!

When Dr. Alex Murdock is demoted to a university in rural Virginia, the last thing he expects to find is a future. But country charm never looked as good as it did on Rainey Mitchell.

Rainey Mitchell does not need a high-class flirt in her wounded world, but trouble and temptation wafts off the new professor as strong as his sandalwood-scented cologne.

When circumstances thrust them together to save her tutoring clinic, can the troublemaker find the hero inside and encourage the reticent Rainey to open her heart again?

Isn’t it such a sweet cover!? I love how it conveys the Blue Ridge setting and matches the “fun” theme of the previous book. Here’s another view of the whole jacket design:
