Win an autographed copy of Susan Gabriel’s Temple Secrets
Enter by March 15, 2015
Temple Secrets from acclaimed author Susan Gabriel delivers a novel of three generations of family secrets set in sultry and mysterious Savannah, Georgia, and you can win one of two autographed copies Susan is giving away!
Every family has secrets, but the elite Temple family of Savannah has more than most. To maintain their influence, they’ve also been documenting the indiscretions of other prestigious southern families, dating as far back as the Civil War. When someone begins leaking these tantalizing tidbits to the newspaper, the entire city of Savannah, Georgia is rocking with secrets.
The current keeper of the secrets and matriarch of the Temple clan is Iris, a woman of unpredictable gastrointestinal illnesses and an extra streak of meanness that even the ghosts in the Temple mansion avoid. When Iris unexpectedly dies, the consequences are far flung and significant, not only to her family—who get in line to inherit the historic family mansion—but to Savannah itself.
Temple Secrets is great winter reading, and two winners will be chosen on March 16. To get your name in the drawing, simply fill out your entry below by midnight on Sunday, March 15. Good luck!
No purchase necessary. Deadline to enter is 11:59 PM, March 15, 2015. One entry per person, please. All U.S. residents are eligible. Two winners will be selected by random drawing on March 16, and contacted via email.
Yes! I’d like to win a signed copy of
Susan Gabriel’s Temple Secrets!
