Dear Reader,

      When I first introduced the Westmoreland family, little did I know they would become hugely popular with readers. Originally, the Westmoreland family series was intended to be just six books, Delaney and her five brothers—Dare, Thorn, Stone, Storm and Chase. Later, I wanted my readers to meet their cousins—Jared, Spencer, Durango, Ian, Quade and Reggie. Finally, there were Uncle Corey’s triplets—Clint, Cole and Casey.

      What began as a six-book series blossomed into a thirty-book series when I included the Denver Westmorelands. I was very happy when Mills & Boon Kimani Arabesque responded to my readers’ requests that the earlier books be reprinted. And I’m even happier that the reissues are in a great two-in-one format.

      Sparks of Temptation contains The Proposal and Feeling the Heat. These are two Westmoreland classics and are books number twenty and twenty-one in the Westmoreland series. In The Proposal, Jason meets Bella Bostwick and awakens to passion the likes of which he’s never had before. It doesn’t take long for him to figure out that Bella is the one woman whose heart he needs to conquer. And in Feeling the Heat, Micah intends to prove that when a Westmoreland wants something—or someone—he will stop at nothing to get it, and Micah Westmoreland wants Kalina Daniels back in his life. Grab a cold drink. It’s going to be hot!

      I hope you enjoy reading these special stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.

      Happy reading!
