The Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears of the romance world, Gena Showalter and Kresley Cole (we're measuring in fame, not *clears throat* infamy), are here to present a very special Take Home Tuesday! Today is release day for their joint effort, DEEP KISS OF WINTER, a hot paranormal anthology featuring two never-before published stories by each of the New York Times bestselling authors.

To celebrate the release day, the two BFFs agreed to engage in a little fun, and took a quiz to see which one of them knows the other best. The winner will be proclaimed the Very Best Best Friend Forever (VBBFF) and crowned with a tiara composed of hundreds of sparkling, conflict-free diamonds... Um, okay. Maybe not. But she does get the title, and it's the honor that counts right? Before we get to the quiz, check out the cover blurb on DEEP KISS OF WINTER below.

As per our usual Take Home Tuesday rules, the winner of a signed copy of DEEP KISS OF WINTER (autographed by both authors) will be chosen randomly from the comments section. Look for an update in this post tomorrow morning to find out if you are the winner!

The 411 on DKOW: KRESLEY COLE delivers a breathtaking tale of a brutal vampire soldier about to know love for the first time...and a Valkyrie aching to be touched.Murdoch Wroth will stop at nothing to claim Daniela the Ice Maiden -- the delicate Valkyrie who makes his heart beat for the first time in three hundred years. Yet the exquisite Danii is part ice fey, and her freezing skin can't be touched by anyone but her own kind without inflicting pain beyond measure. Soon desperate for closeness, in an agony of frustration, Murdoch and Danii will do anything to have each other. Together, can they find the key that will finally allow them to slake the overwhelming desire burning between them?

GENA SHOWALTER puts a daring spin on a tale of huntress and hunted...and concocts a sensual chemistry that is positively explosive.Aleaha Love can be anyone -- literally. With only skin-to-skin contact, she can change her appearance, assume any identity. Her newest identity switch has made her an AIR (alien investigation and removal) agent and sends her on a mission to capture a group of otherworldly warriors. Only she becomes the captured. Breean, a golden-skinned commander known for his iron will who is at once dangerous and soul-shatteringly seductive, threatens her new life. Because for the first time, Aleaha only wants to be herself....
