Last weekend saw the Festival of Romance return once more to Bedford, and Caroline Kirkpatrick of Piatkus Entice was delighted to attend. Working in partnership with the Festival of Romance, and brand partners Radio Gorgeous and Cornishware, Piatkus Entice has been on the hunt to find a new romance star of the future, and Caroline was absolutely delighted to announce Entice’s new author to the attendees of the gala dinner on Saturday night: Historical romance author Christine King and her delightful novel The Blade and the Dove.

Congratulations Christine and welcome to Piatkus Entice!

Celebrations were all-round, as our fantastic historical romance author Charlotte Betts won Best Historical Read Award with her fantastic novel The Spice Merchant’s Wife.

And it was so lovely to see last year’s Piatkus Entice winners at the festival too: Terri Nixon, author of Maid of Oaklands Manor, andCelia Anderson, author of Sweet Proposal.

Look out for more from our Entice winner, Christine King, soon. And if you haven’t read the fabulous novels that Piatkus Entice has to offer, take a look at our website and immerse yourself in the world of romance!
