To enter, please answer this question:
In The Wagering Widow, where does Emily get her first glimpse of Guy Keating?
The answer to the contest question is in the excerpt of The Wagering Widow.
The lucky winner will receive not one, but TWO signed copies of The Marriage Bargain, by Diane writing as Diane Perkins, now a collector's item (you can't find these new for much under $20 these days). Why two copies? One for the winner and one for the winner to share with a friend. Isn't giving romance is a wonderful way to warm the world?
Congratulations to the winners of the previous contest, who knew that in Gallant Officer, Forbidden Lady, the name of Jack's painting of a British soldier is Victory at Badajoz, and for answering correctly wins an autographed copy of The Diamonds of Welbourne Manor.
From the excerpt of Gallant Officer, Forbidden Lady:
“See?” She pointed to the painting of a British soldier raising the flag at Badajoz. “The one above the landscape. Of the soldier. Look at the emotions of relief and victory and fatigue on the soldier’s face.” She opened her catalogue and scanned the pages. “Victory at Badajoz, it is called, and the artist is Jack Vernon.”

Contests are sponsored by Diane Gaston on dianegaston.com solely for
the enjoyment of her loyal fans. Have fun…and remember that the prizes are
offered just to sweeten the playing. However, just so everyone
is on the same page, here’s
the way the contests work:
:: You must include ALL pieces of information
requested in the form above, or your entry isn't complete. Winners will be
chosen at random from all correct and complete entries. International entries
are accepted.
:: Only entries received through this website will be considered eligible. Odds of winning are dependent upon number of eligible entries received. Only one entry per person, please. Duplicate entries will be voided.
:: Winner[s] will be notified by e-mail within 30 days of the drawing and names may or may not get posted to this website. All winner name listings will be name and city of residence only so as to protect the privacy of the winner. Except as required by law, Diane Gaston will not share entrant information with any third parties. Entry constitutes permission (except where prohibited by law) to use the winner's name, hometown, likeness, and any text submitted for purposes of Diane's advertising and promotion without further compensation.
:: Any prize or prize notification returned to the sponsor as undeliverable will result in the awarding of that prize to an alternate winner. Sorry, no cash equivalent.
:: No purchase necessary. The answer to Diane's contest can almost always be
found on this website. And in the rare case of needing to look into an actual
book, please utilize a local library as Diane's books are regularly available
through most library systems.
:: Please note that while Diane does read all your entries, she is unable to respond personally to them.
:: All contest entrants will automatically
