(This is the eighth and
final question in the Scavenger Hunt.)

What's it all about?

Candice has devised a Scavenger Hunt that will last from Valentine's Day 2005 to Valentine's Day 2006. On certain holidays in between, a new question will be posted, with a total of eight questions in all.

The information to answer each question can be found somewhere on this website -- maybe the Regency Glossary or a "collections" article or a Behind the Scenes page for a particular book or the FAQs or just about anywhere. Each question will give you a hint as to where to find the answer, but you will have to do a bit of sleuthing. All questions will remain posted, so if you miss the beginning of the Hunt, you can still catch up.

Candice will track the progress of each player all year long right on this page. Check back shortly after the second clue is posted to see how you, and others, are doing.

On Valentine's Day 2006, a Grand Prize will be awarded to one lucky winner selected from those who have answered all eight questions correctly.

Good luck, and have fun!

Candice had a different working title for Her Scandalous Affair.

What was the manuscript's original title?

Grand Prize
to be awarded on Valentine's Day 2006:
A $100 gift certificate for Amazon.com, or its equivalent from one of Amazon's international sites. You must correctly answer all Scavenger Hunt questions to qualify.
