Oh look! It's two cover reveals in the same day! Or, if you live across the world, it's two cover reveals in the space of a few hours!

But it's okay. Because this book? Yeah, it's by Ilona Andrews, who's name I still can't spell from memory. Who exactly is Ilona Andrews, you ask? Just the person who wrote this series. And this one. Do you remember this amazing review? Who wrote said book I was reading and freaked out about? That's right: Ilona Andrews.

So I kind of heard she was writing another book? And this was kind of my reaction?

Happily, of course.

Anyways, Burn For Me:

BURN FOR ME by Ilona Andrews

On-sale 10/28/2014 | ISBN: 9780062289230

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews launches a brand new Hidden Legacy series, in which one woman must place her trust in a seductive, dangerous man who sets off an even more dangerous desire…

Nevada Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her detective career-a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in a volatile case. Nevada isn’t sure she has the chops. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire.

Then she’s kidnapped by Connor “Mad” Rogan-a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between wanting to run or surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.

Rogan’s after the same target, so he needs Nevada. But she’s getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world.

Yes. It is romance-heavy. How could you guess? In fact, Ilona's editor wrote: 

BURN FOR ME is a slight departure from Ilona Andrews’ other bestselling urban fantasy series. There’s still the trademark snappy dialogue/narrative and action-packed scenes, but there’s a stronger romance thread here that we wanted to get across right away with this cover.  Our hero Rogan is not just hot and sexy, but he’s powerful.  Like kill-you-with-a-stare powerful.  And Nevada is just as strong, only she doesn’t realize her full potential yet.  So I wanted to show off our couple, have that intimacy between them and not lose any kickass-ness (I know, not a real word, sorry).  The background with the exploding buildings around them…the idea was Ilona’s and the execution is just exquisite. 

—Erika Tsang, Ilona’s Editor extraordinaire

So now, of course, I'm freaking out even further, if that's possible, and I need it in my hands right now. 

I mean, look at this:

It is such a gorgeous, distinctive cover, melding together unique paranormal aspect of the world and the sizzle of the relationship between Mad Rogan and Nevada. It's rare when the cover captures a scene from the book exactly the way the author had imagined it. You learn to resign yourself to it. Covers aren't meant to be a literal representation of the narrative, but BURN FOR ME is.  It actually shows a pivotal scene, especially when combined with the aerial view splashback.  If you read the book, you'll know exactly what I mean. When I got the cover file, I sent it to a friend.  She emailed back in minutes.  The email said, "Who did you sacrifice to Cover Gods to get this?"
