Covers can be controversial. Putting your writing out there for others to read can be enough to make you curl into the corner and rock yourself into a coma.
But there is a cover and a story, so I'll just lay it out for you.
About REGRET: Set in the world of Possession and Surrender, this riveting, original eBook reveals pieces of Jag’s mysterious past and the inner workings of the Resistance.
When Jag, the leader of the Resistance, goes missing during a mission, Indy feels like her heart might break. But as Jag’s second in command, she must put her feelings for him aside and take charge. With Jag in the Thinkers’ hands, the Resistance needs Indy’s smart strategy and calm leadership now more than ever. Indy knows that wherever Jag is, he’s counting on her to continue the fight.
But then Jag returns . . . with a girl named Vi.
Indy doesn’t know who this new girl is, or what she has to do with Jag’s disappearance, but she can see the way Jag looks at Vi, and it makes Indy’s heart stop cold. Now that Jag has returned with a new girl at his side, does Indy even have a place in the Resistance?
This eBook-exclusive story includes special excerpts from both Possession and Surrender.

Now, seriously. I didn't think I could ever love a cover as much as the butterfly in ice. But this? THIS? Yeah, I love this. (Insecure writer begone!) What do you think?

Ohhh my goodness. That's definitely the saddest cover of all of them. And I love the green - kind of gives the whole thing an ironic feeling of Spring. Beautiful!
Thanks for the giveaway! I'm crossing my fingers.
That's really exciting, Elana. You're building a Possession EMPIRE!

I think they're quiet covers: they attract your attention without shouting. I like them. Very clean and thoughtful.
I don't think anyone will Regret that! Thanks for joining the IWSG.
The cover is beautiful. I can't wait to read it!
Awesome cover. So fits with your book. Can't wait to read this. And it'll come out 10 days after my daughter's birthday. So she'll have one present because I don't know what to get her.
Love the cover! Green is my favorite color and butterflies are just awesomely beautiful. Congrats!
This is just the coolest idea ever!
Well done, you!

Butterfly in barbed wire - AMAZING!
I love that cover!! How exciting, I can't wait to read both REGRET and SURRENDER! Elana, you rock!
Love the cover, but then I love all of the covers for the series. Oh, and I can't wait to read SURRENDER.
Gorgeous cover! But sad.
I really like the cover for REGRET! It is a great middle piece between POSSESSION and SURRENDER.
Will definitely be reading and reviewing REGRET for my blog, A Midsummer Night's Read! (http://amidnightsummersread.blogspot.com)
Super super awesome!!!! I can't wait to read it!
I love the covers of all your books. And of course I pre-ordered, because I'm that cool.
Seeing all three covers side by side is just a beautiful thing. The symbolism in their simplicity leaps off each one.
REGRET sounds like something I wouldn't regret getting and reading.
I have to say, i think of all your covers (which are all AMAZING, imop) the Regret cover is my fav. I just really love the barbed wire
Those covers together are GORGEOUS! Can't wait to read Regret & Surrender!
Ooo . . . great lead in. I've preordered it and liked all over the place. =D
I'm adding this to my list. I'm guessing it's okay to read before Surrender. :D
Congrats! Your covers look beautiful together. You should have them framed on your wall!
I love all the covers - so simple and striking. The blurb sounds great too. On my TBR pile :)
I'm glad you have these short stories to tide us over until Surrender comes out. Yay!
I can't wait for this one!
I'm LOVING the cover of "Regret" ! It was the cover that originally compelled me to read "Possession"... because I am a huge sucker for awesome covers. I can't wait to read "Surrender"!
I love that cover! It's a butterfly on an electrical wire! (I know, I'm Mrs. Subtle.) It's so pretty and I feel like it fits in perfectly with the whole "something free is trapped" theme. =D
Regret sounds tempting.
Ooh. Jag returns WITH Vi? I must have that!
Very pretty cover. It really stands out between Possession and Surrender! Looking forward to reading! Thanks for the giveaway!
So that's why Indy was all weird! More of my beloved, Jag. Colour me happy. (Not much to say on the cover. Totes not a visual person. Sowwy. :( )
PS, I clicked Preordered in the contest thingie, but Amazon isn't showing a pre-order button at the moment.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Green, my fave color *pets poor stuck butterfly*
THAT is a very powerful image, the butterfly on barbed wire. Excellent! I love it. :)
Love the cover of Regret. And the description! Sounds like a must read.
Beautiful cover! It's just haunting.
Wow that cover sparks a thousand thoughts in my head. Powerful.
I just about cried when I saw all three covers together!! Gorgeous. Thrilled for you.
I think it fits in perfectly with the other two! Can't wait to read it. Preordered!
I love the cover. I want to read Surrender SO BAD.
I love it it deff fits in with the story and the series. And I'm so excited!! Eep. If there was a camera on me right now you would see me jumping around my room... Lol
LOVE the cover for REGRET -- so striking!
You really lucked out in the cover department! :)
Amazon won't let me pre-order the story ('cause they apparently don't like Canada...) but I'm hoping you get lots of preorders!
I think the cover is bloody brilliant!!! Really fabulous :D
Click to Tweet didn't work for me. :( Bummer.
I love the idea of the insecure writers. We all have our moments, don't we?
Gorgeous cover, Elana. I hope the books do well for you!
LOVE the cover! Count my in!
Woohoo!! Cover looks great! :)
CONGRATS! Great cover!
OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!
LOVE THE COVER AND CAN'T WAIT TO READ SURRENDER ^_^
I like the cover it is eye catching :)
It's a beautiful cover - all of them are. They say so much!
Unfortunately I'm unable to preorder Regret - the Amazon page simply says Currenty Not Available. Is it only availabe to US readers maybe? Either way, I will keep an eye out and order it when I can!
Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
I love the new cover. It's sad but it looks great with the set. I can't wait to read it, and surrender! Good job!!!
Gorgeous cover and I can't wait to read!
I love the cover...it shows something delicate on the verge of danger!

Oooh, sounds awesome! What a great aspect to write a story from and you can't beat a love triangle for intrigue!
I'm so excited for this! Pre-ordered! And I love the cover, sad and foreboding, perfect!
Congratulations on the series. I look forward to reading them!
My word for the year is Dare. I accept your challenge to do something I regret. Who knows, it will likely lead to something I don't regret at all. What is the opposite of regret? Embrace? Celebrate? Yay, I'll take that. Love seeing all your success. You certainly have worked hard for it!

I have a deathly fear of barbed wire. It's a Jack Handy story of why, but I won't bore you. Yes, awesome cover. It's inspires both fear and beauty! :)
Such gorgeous covers... and so much heartbreak. But hey, I'll take the heartbreak any day! Congrats on Regret ;)
Very cool contest, Elana!
And the covers are beautiful!!
All sorts of awesome. I can't wait to get Regret on my phone. Woohoo.
The cover is very powerful. I can't wait until it comes out.
Oh my gosh i love the regret cover the green is nice with the beautiful purple butterfly
I love the Posession and Surrender covers, but the Regret one is kind of unsettling. Something about a butterfly strung up on barbed wire...
Not that I don't like it! I do...its just eerie, yet beautiful.
Gorgeous covers and cant wait to read regret and surrender!!!
I think it is perfect!
The covers are beautiful!
I love the cover I think it goes great with the rest of them! I can't wait to read it :)
I am truly enjoying the breadth of the Possession world that you've given us. Thanks!
OH.MY.GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love all the book covers, there simple yet AMAZING! I love the concept of the butterfly on all the covers. It means freedom yet if captured it's caged. Just like the story & characters in the book. Would love to get an ARC of Surrender to read & eventually review for my blog.Thanks for this great opportunity!
