BRENDA MAKES COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINEVOLUME 8 - ISSUE 3
MARCH, 2008
I hope each of you had a blessed Easter Day!!
It’s hard to believe that the first quarter of 2008 is almost over and that it is spring already. I’ve been very busy this year, hard at work writing more books for you to enjoy. However, I plan to sneak away from the computer on occasion to travel and do book signings. I hope I get to meet you if I’m in your area. I’ll be updating the “Events” tab on my website with a listing of where I’ll be in the coming months. And I’ve mentioned them in this newsletter.
Thanks to all of you who purchased Forever Mine, the very first book from my own publishing company. I appreciate all of you patience while I autographed all the books that were shipped.
And a special thanks to all of you who was able to attend the Launch Party for the Madaris Publishing Company. Some of you traveled a long way to attend and your presence was greatly appreciated. It was some party!
And I can’t forget my readers in Ft. Myers, Florida at the Readers Festival who came out to see me. Thanks to all of you for being special!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy birthday to all my readers whose birthdays are in March. May you have many, many more!

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?

MEET ANOTHER ONE OF COREY WESTMORELAND’S TRIPLETS
IN
TAMING CLINT WESTMORELAND
“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 . . .
