Getting the Call!

I am very excited to report I’ve signed a two-book deal with Entangled Publishing’s Scandalous imprint.

My first historical Regency romance, Seducing Charlotte, will be published in Spring 2013. The next title in the series, Tempting Bella will be out in Fall 2013.

Scandalous is Entangled’s new historical line and I am thrilled to be working with this innovative ebook-first publisher. I can’t wait to see the historical covers! 

Here is the announcement which appeared in Publisher’s Marketplace:


Diana Quincy’s TEMPTING BELLA, in which the hero is enchanted by a beauty he spots at the opera, unaware she is the wife he was forced to marry as a teen years ago in order to settle a gaming debt between their parents, to Alethea Spiridon Hopson at Entangled Scandalous, in a two-book deal, for publication in Fall 2013, by Kevan Lyon at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency (World).
