(Please note: Winner will have a choice between digital and print versions, except in the case of The Runaway Countess, which will be a digital book)

How It Works:

Enter by filling out the contest form below. Winner will be drawn on February 28, 2012. Once you’ve entered this contest, there’s no need to re-enter until a new contest begins. If you previously entered another contest here at TessaDare.com, you'll need to enter this one separately.

The Rules

You must be at least 18 years old to enter, and there is no purchase necessary. Winners are drawn at random from all entrants who provide complete contact information, a valid email address, and the correct answer to the contest question. Chances of winning will depend on the number of entries. By entering this contest, you agree to be added to Tessa Dare’s e-mail mailing list. Newsy messages go out monthly at most, and it’s easy to unsubscribe at any time. We promise to keep your personal information safe and will never share it with anyone else. By entering, you also give us permission to post your first name and state (or country) on the website if you win. International entries (i.e., outside the USA) are welcome; however, we reserve the right to substitute prizes due to postal restrictions or other practical concerns.

The Movie Club contest is closed, as of July 1, 2009. But just in case you're wondering what it was all about, here's the blurb and links:

I love movies, but as a mother of small children with correspondingly small attention spans, I rarely make it to the theater. It’s DVDs for me, and I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites as contest prizes. Over the next few months, I’ll be writing diary entries about each of the films below. I’ll explain why they’re some of my all-time favorites, and share how each movie’s romance, humor, plot, or setting has influenced my writing.

Pride & Prejudice (2005) (Why this movie? Click here)
