Shortlisted for Love Story of the Year!

.
I am delighted to announce that Fair Deception has been shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association 2010 Love Story of the Year Award!

Fair Deception is the first of my Newmarket Regencies and concerns Susanna Fair - an actress who urgently needs a place to hide - and Kit Kydd - a would-be knight errant who badly needs to appear betrothed.

Unfortunately, Susanna's past won't stay conveniently put, Kit doesn't have a let-sleeping-dogs-lie nature, and both of them find themselves becoming enamoured for real.



I'm so thrilled to be on a shortlist that celebrates the best in romantic fiction and am really looking forward to the Pure Passion Awards Lunch in March and all the new readers that the publicity for the awards will hopefully bring in.

What a lovely surprise for you, Jan. I'm envious. Wish I had the chance to say one of my novels was on a shortlist for a prize. It isn't the bauble they place in your hands, it's the recognition of your peers, and will hopefully leads to better things for you.
Congratulations
