The Vanishing Viscountess

A woman of innocence and notoriety . . .

The prisoner stood with an expression of defiance, leather shackles on her wrists. Adam Vickery, Marquess of Tannerton, was drawn to this woman, so dignified in her plight. He didn't recognize her as the once innocent, hopeful debutante he had danced with long years ago.
Marlena Parronley, the notorious Vanishing Viscountess, was a fugitive. Seeing the dashing, carefree marquess of her dreams just reminded her that she couldn't risk letting anyone, especially Tanner, get caught up in helping her escape. He would face the same punishment she did. The hangman's noose.

       Growing up the daughter of an Army Colonel, Diane Gaston (also known as VRW member Diane Perkins) moved frequently, but books remained constant friends.
       Diane’s love of reading led to her majoring in English in college, but careerwise she took a detour, earning Master’s degrees in both Psychology and Social Work, and working as a county mental health therapist. Whenever asked what would be her ideal job, Diane used to quip, “Writing Romance Novels.”
       She actually did that very thing, even winning the 2003 Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® for The Mysterious Miss M, her debut novel. She now writes Regency Historical Romance full-time as Diane Perkins for Warner Forever and as Diane Gaston for Mills & Boon/Harlequin Historical.
