The Texas CEO's Secret (Silhouette Special Edition Series #2003) »

Nicole Foster is the pen name for the writing team of Danette Fertig-Thompson and Annette Chartier-Warren. Danette and Annette met years ago while working on a local newspaper.

Danette was the paper's editor and Annette was a reporter. As they became acquainted, they discovered several shared interests. Both were born in the southwest and still had a special fondness for that part of the country. Both read voraciously and had always loved reading fiction, romantic fiction in particular. But the secret they learned that changed their lives was that they had both been working on fiction writing projects, but had found themselves hitting brick walls due to time constraints.

They soon discovered a partnership was exactly what they needed to launch their dream career of writing romance while at the same time maintaining jobs, homes and families.

Their first historical romance, Alabama Twilight, was released in 1992, followed by Stolen Fire, A Timeless Moment, and Midnight Promises.

Sawyer's Special Delivery, a Harlequin Special Edition, marks their first contemporary romance.

Falling for his brother's ex-fiancée was strictly taboo. Not to mention Blake couldn't afford any distractions as the hunt for the Santa Magdelena Diamond was heating up, and the survival of his family's jewelry store empire was on the line. But if there was anyone who could get him to forsake business for pleasure, it was Katie. And jetting off to the Mediterranean was just the beginning….
