To celebrate the publication of my latest romance, Wrong Number, Right Woman earlier this month, I thought I’d put together a crossword puzzle with clues from the book.

Even if you haven’t read it yet, I think you have a chance to solve the puzzle because the answers to the first five clues are hidden in the first four chapters of the book, which you can read for free on Amazon and other online bookstores.

To find the answers to clues number 6 and 7, read the excerpt, then take a look at my other contemporary romances.

The prize: Name a character in my next book!

I’ll draw one winner among everyone who solves the puzzle and emails me the solution phrase. The winner gets the opportunity to name a character in my next book!

All you have to do to be entered into the drawing is to send me the solution by October 24, 10 a.m. CET. I’ll draw the winner using a random numbers generator.

You’ll find my email address on my contact page.
