Congratulations to the winner, Cate from Bloomington, who knew that in The Vanishing Viscountess, Tanner is the last person on deck. For answering correctly, the winner wins an autographed coverflat of The Vanishing Viscountess, an autographed copy of Diane's Innocence and Impropriety, and an autographed copy of Reunion by Nora Roberts.
From the excerpt of The Vanishing Viscountess:
Tanner was the last person on deck. As he stepped out into the air, the rain sliced into him like knife blades, the wind whipping in all directions. The ship’s masts no longer stood tall and proud, but now lay like snapped twigs on the deck. The sails, now in tatters, resembled nothing more than rags flapping haphazardly in the tempest. Tanner stepped over pieces of wood, remnants of sails and other debris. A loose barrel rolled toward him. He jumped aside, nearly loosing his footing on the slick surface of the deck. More than once he had to grab hold of whatever was near to keep from falling.
