He also hides a secret love for his beautiful neighbor Zari, who has been betrothed since birth to another man.

I've recently hit 600 followers, as you all may know (hehe) so I'm finally celebrating! Thanks to the generosity of authors and publishers, I have lovely prizes for you! Including three paranormal books, three contemporary books, a dystopian and a historical fiction. What books are they, you may ask? Well, that's a surprise.
Most of the prizes will be sent directly from the publisher or author to the winners. Most giveaways are US only (sorry!) and will all end on September 6th
Of course, you'll be required to follow Pages. I don't think it's fair for a giveaway celebrating my followers to allow non-followers to enter. You know?
Some of the extra entries are here (if you want to do them now, so you can just breeze through the giveaways, go ahead!)
The Giveaway Button:
I don't want followers who're going to follow me simply because they'll get an extra entry. I'm simply putting up the option so you'll be aware of it, and may decide you like my writing blog and join. The extra entry is just a reward for those who are interested, but it's not required! Like, honestly, don't follow if you don't want to!
This page will be updated everyday with the giveaways going on so you can always check back here! If you'd rather just wait until the 20th and fill in all the Rafflecopters then at once, feel free to do so :)
I'm looking forward to a fun week!
