Dear Reader,
I hope each of you had a blessed Thanksgiving Day. This year I have so much to be thankful for - good health, a loving family, good friends and special readers like you. And the full scope of my thanks hit home last week when my editor at St. Martins Press called to say that my 50th book, Slow Burn, was # 128 on the USA Today Bestsellers list.
To make the USA Bestsellers List is truly a special blessing for any author and I want to thank all of you who purchased Slow Burn and made this possible. You are very dynamic, loyal and dedicated and I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful group of readers who continue to support my work.
My thanks go out to each of you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy birthday to all my readers whose birthdays are in November. I hope that you have many more. I want to give a shout out to my oldest son, Gerald Jackson, Jr, who turns 30 on November 25th and to Aunt Jennie whose birthday is November 30th.

ANOTHER WESTMORELAND BITES THE DUST
SPENCER’S FORBIDDEN PASSION
“You have Forty-Eight Hours to Be My Wife.”
Millionaire deal-maker Spencer Westmoreland would bail out Chardonnay Russell’s failing Napa Valley vineyard.
And in return she would marry him and bear his children – as many as he wanted.
But she shouldn’t dare hope that Spencer would ever fall in love with her.
Her only choice was to accept the arrogant businessman’s proposal.
But becoming Spencer’s wife – in every way - set her body, her heart, on fire.
And soon Chardonnay wanted what was strictly forbidden . . .
COMING - FEBRUARY 2008

TAMING CLINT WESTMORELAND
This Westmoreland is about to be tamed …
The moment ex-Texas Ranger Clint Westmoreland learned that 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 30 days to untangle the legal knot that 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 . . .
