It’s finally here. It’s like you know the day has to come because of the whole time thing–the sun turning and all that stuff. But it can seem so long. And a year between releases is really excruciating for a new writer. It’s so easy to be forgotten with a multitude of titles coming out every month. Well, I hope A TASTE OF DESIRE will remind those who enjoyed SINFUL SURRENDER that I’m still around and kicking. And I hope I pick up new readers along the way–and that would be a ton of new readers (I can always dream).

So today I’m throwing a party for myself and you’re all invited. I hope you’re up for having fun and winning some prizes. Do you want the prizes first of what you have to do to win them? Thought so, prizes first.

Grand prize – copy of A TASTE OF DESIRE and a $25 Gift Certificate to an online book store of your choice.
Second Prize – copy of A TASTE OF DESIRE and SINFUL SURRENDER
Third Prize – A TASTE OF DESIRE

And all you have to do to be entered to win is comment on this post. To get an additional entry, email (contests at theseasonforromance dot com) me the answer to this question: What kind of transport does Lord Thomas Armstrong drive according to the book trailer?

If you’re already signed up for either The Season or my personal–that would be Beverley Kendall–newsletter, let me know and you’ll receive yet 2 more additional entries. 🙂  See, how easy is that? I’ll post the winners tomorrow, January 5th.

SHE CHALLENGED HIS PRIDE

Lady Amelia Bertram may have a reputation as the most brazen beauty of the ton, but she shocks even herself when she accidently—and loudly—derides one of society’s most eligible bachelors in the middle of a crowded ballroom. The timing of her faux pas couldn’t be worse, for her father is seeking someone to take her off his hands that very night…

HE CHALLENGED HER WILLPOWER

But when Thomas Armstrong overhears the so-called “Lady” Amelia slandering his sexual prowess in public, he cannot help but accept the dare implicit in her words. To her father’s great delight, he offers to take her to his secluded country estate—properly chaperoned, of course—to teach the girl a lesson in ladylike behavior…

FAVOURITE SNIPPET

Lord Armstrong was at the door in long, fluid strides. Before exiting, he turned to her and said in a clipped, unyielding tone, “Be in the study tomorrow morning at eight o’clock. If you keep me waiting for even one minute, whether you’re dressed fit for company or not, I will come and fetch you myself.” He paused and without so much as a glimmer of amusement said, “On second thought, don’t sleep in a stitch tonight, that way that little exercise will rouse us both.”

But I recently have been trying to picture what Lady Amelia Bertram has been saying to the other debutantes about our handsome gentleman Thomas Armstrong…riding a phaeton sitting all the time…what IF he did do it lying down? :P!
