Tall, Dark_.Westmoreland! - Brenda Jackson [0]
Reggie turned his head toward her on the pillow. He doubted he could move. He could barely breathe. It was close to morning. As soon as they had ended one session they’d been quick and eager to start another. Where in the hell did all that energy come from?
He knew she had to leave. So did he. But he didn’t want their one and only night together to end. “You do know there is no reason why we can’t—”
She quickly turned toward him and placed a finger on his lips. “Yes, there is. I can’t tell you my true identity. It could hurt someone.”
He frowned. As if reading his mind, she said, “I don’t have a husband. I don’t even have a boyfriend.”
“Then who?” he asked. He probably had more to lose than her since his campaign for Senate officially began that day.
“I can’t say. This has to be goodbye.”
Dear Reader,
I am pleased to present to you Reginald Westmoreland’s story. At long last!
Reggie was introduced in my very first Westmoreland book, Delaney’s Desert Sheikh, as Delaney’s partner in crime. By the end of the story, he had earned a special place in readers’ hearts because he helped Delaney outsmart her overprotective brothers. Now, fifteen books later, it is time for his story to be told. I knew he would be the one to wrap up my books on the Atlanta-based Westmorelands.
I also knew he would be the one who would eventually become the Westmoreland to enter politics. And considering everything, doing so would not be an easy task. Especially if the woman your heart desires the most is the daughter of the man you’re running against.
Neither Reggie nor Olivia Jeffries expect the explosive desire their initial meeting brings, and together they face many challenges. But they discover that no matter what, true love conquers all.
I’ve received a lot of letters and e-mails asking if Reggie’s book is the end of the Westmorelands. My response is a resounding “No.” There are more Westmorelands to come, and I look forward to introducing you to all the Denver-based Westmorelands. They are men you will continue to fall in love with.
Thank you for making the Westmorelands a very special family. I look forward to bringing you more books of searing desire and endless love and passion.
Happy reading!
Brenda Jackson
