VOLUME 8 - ISSUE 2
FEBRUARY, 2008
I hope each of you enjoyed a wonderful Valentine’s Day!!
This has been a very busy month. I took time out to enjoy my birthday and did a number of speaking engagements in celebration of Black History Month. Forever Mine was released as scheduled on February 21 and my management staff has been hard at work to get the books out to you. I am autographing every copy before it is shipped and although my hands are tired, it is a special feeling knowing that you believed in me enough to order this very special first book from my publishing company.
I thank you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy birthday to all my readers whose birthdays are in February. I hope that you have many more. Special shout out to my hubby, Gerald, who also celebrated a birthday this month!

MEET ANOTHER ONE OF COREY WESTMORELAND’S TRIPLETS
IN
TAMING CLINT WESTMORELAND
In stores this month!
“In Name Only . . .”
The moment ex-Texas Ranger Clint Westmoreland learned he was still married, he set the limits for his wife’s stay at his luxurious horse ranch. But when she arrived, Clint’s boundaries began to blur.
He and Alyssa Barkley had thirty days to untangle the legal knot that had bound them together during an undercover assignment years before. But this sexy, curvaceous Alyssa was different from the mousy, awestruck rookie agent he remembered. And now her every move had him wondering what it would be like if he really were her man . . .

COMING – APRIL 2008
HER LITTLE BLACK BOOK
(Read the sneak preview in the back of Slow Burn)
A NEW STEELE FAMILY NOVEL IS COMING
MAY 2008
IRRESISTIBLE FORCES
An offer he couldn’t refuse…
One week of mind-blowing sex on a beautiful Caribbean
island. Of all the business proposals financial tycoon
Dominic Saxon has heard, Taylor Steele’s is definitely the
most tempting. All Taylor wants in return is for Dominic
to father her baby. No strings, no commitments…just
a mutually satisfying arrangement. Make that very
satisfying. For a man with no intention of marrying
again, it sounds ideal.
Taylor wants a baby, not a relationship. And sexy, intelligent
Dominic seems like a man with perfect genes. Turns out,
Dominic has perfect everything. Their “procreation vacation”
is a whirlwind of sensual ecstasy. But when it’s over, will
either of them be able to say goodbye?
