A Letter To Readers

Dear Readers,
         I have exciting news. My Baby Experts series for Silhouette Special Edition is being expanded to six books. I'm thrilled to move three
more heroines–or more–into the Victorian house in Sagebrush, Texas. I'm planning to make their romances even more emotionally compelling than the first three.  Although books 4, 5, and 6 don't as yet have titles, they are scheduled for May, June and July of 2010.
         In book 3 of the series–BABY BY SURPRISE–being released in September, you will meet Gina Rigoletti who is the heroine of book 4.
She is a pediatric physical therapist and baby development expert. Gina and Logan Barnes met on the Barnes estate when Gina was 18 and Logan 22. Gina's desire to be the first college graduate in her family (she won a scholarship to an Eastern college) as well as a threat from Logan's father persuaded her to walk away from Logan, though she loved him deeply.
         The night Gina left, Logan and his father argued and Elliot Barnes had a stroke. Afterward Logan decided to forget Gina and build
his dad's empire to make his father proud of him. Logan took his time falling in love again. When he did marry, tragedy struck and his wife died to save their child.
         Gina's return to Sagebrush--along with a friend and fate-- pushes her into Logan's life once more as she helps his son. Little Daniel was
a preemie whose development has been slow. At fourteen months he is not yet walking and Logan sought help. As he and Gina reunite, memories and emotions are intense between them. Logan doesn't know Gina holds two secrets–the reason she left as well as the reason she didn't return–a date rape that changed the course of her life.
         Both Logan and Gina have to face their pasts to find a future together. Can love truly conquer all?
         This book pushed my emotions to the limit while I wrote it. Most of all I wanted to convey a message of hope that can awaken if we
accept love into our lives to help us heal.
         In the months to come, I will also give you previews of books 5 and 6. In the meantime, please enjoy The Foleys and McCords Continuity
series romance, THE TEXAS BODYGUARD'S PROPOSAL which will be released in August as well as the third book in The Baby Experts series, BABY BY SURPRISE, which will hit bookshelves in September. I'll post excerpts for both as soon as I have my covers.
         Have a wonderful summer!
