Contest!!!

 I am such a slacker!!!  I blame deadline and revisions (now turned in, hooray).  Let's have one more day for this contest.  A sort-of Austen theme, with DVDs, an address book, a notebook, plus a signed copy of my own Christmas book (if you're in the mood for the holiday a little early), in a cute tote bag.  Just comment here, and/or sign up for my newsletter (which also has some contests and sneak preview content), at amccabe7551 AT yahoo.com with Newsletter in the subject...

A secret shared…

But can she trust him?

In this Debutantes in Paris story, Diana Martin is thrilled to be a writer covering the Parisian Exposition. But her new role must be kept quiet—her parents would never allow it! When enigmatic Sir William Blakely discovers her ruse, he knows it could lead her into danger. With the sparks igniting between them, William realizes the only way to protect Diana is by staying as close to her as possible!
