Facebook Giveaway Party Day 1: Special Guest Rose Gordon!

Facebook Banner Party Logo2


Day 1: Meet Rose Gordon!

For the first day of the giveaway party, we’d like to introduce Rose Gordon, a USA Today Bestselling Author.  Most of you are already familiar with her, but for those who aren’t, she’s mostly known for her Regencies, though she has written some historical westerns as well.


In honor of her newest release, Desires of a Baron, she is having a Facebook Party on May 12 from 3pm to 6pm (that’s United States Central Standard Time).


rose gordon facebook party


She will also be popping in from time to time during the day at our Facebook party, too!


We will be talking about how we met her, and you can share anything you want about her or ask us questions about her.


For the giveaway, we’re going to be doing something special since May 13th is when her newest book, Desires of a Baron, will be available!


In honor of this event, we will offer 5 ebook copies of Desires of a Baron.


We’re also going to offer five winners the chance to own one of Rose’s completed series.  This is for ebooks only.  Pick the series you want from this list.  Please not that Intentions of the Earl is already free, so we can’t gift you that copy.  You’ll have to download it directly.  But we can gift you all the other books.


Fill out the form below for a chance to enter the giveaway!  We will keep your emails private and will not use them for anything but this particular giveaway.


Winners will be announced here and on Facebook at our Giveaway Party at 8pm CST on May 12.
