More About the Author

A New York Times and International bestselling author, Erica Spindler's skill for crafting engrossing plots and compelling characters has earned both critical praise and legions of fans. Published in 25 countries, her stories have been lauded as "thrill-packed page turners, white- knuckle rides and edge-of-your-seat whodunits."

Raised in Rockford, Illinois, Erica had planned on being an artist, earning a BFA from Delta State University and an MFA from the University of New Orleans in the visual arts. In June of 1982, in bed with a cold, she picked up a romance novel for relief from daytime television. She was immediately hooked, and soon decided to try to write one herself. She leaped from romance to suspense in 1996 with her novel Forbidden Fruit, and found her true calling.

Her novel Bone Cold won the prestigious Daphne du Maurier Award for excellence. A Romance Writers of America Honor Roll member, she received a Kiss of Death Award for her novels Forbidden Fruit and Dead Run and was a three-time RITA® Award finalist. Publishers Weekly awarded the audio version of her novel Shocking Pink a Listen Up Award, naming it one of the best audio mystery books of 1998.

Erica lives just outside New Orleans, Louisiana, with her husband and two sons and is busy at work on her next thriller.

This review is from: A Winter's Rose (Silhouette Special Edition, No. 817) (Paperback)

Jackson Reese married a pampered princess only to later have his heart broken. Jackson could never regret his relationship with his ex because without her he would never have had his daughter. Jackson loves his daughter, Chloe, with all his heart. He loves her although she acts just like her pampered mother. Chloe has been staying with him since they kicked her out of boarding school. She has also been through lots of babysitters. Jackson has no idea what to do next. That is, until he gets pressured and blackmailed to hire Bentley Cunningham. Bentley's mother donates money to Jackson's nonprofit organization, so he feels like he has no choice but to hire the woman. Jackson has no respect for the stuck up, pampered, society princess that struts into his office. He finally agrees to give Bentley a job as his daughter's babysitter. He figures it will not take her long to quit and run back to her daddy's credit cards. Jackson discovers that he does not know the first thing about Bentley Cunningham. Bentley learns a lot about herself and the world outside her father's money. The story was even more interesting with the addition of Jackson's daughter Chloe who was a major part of the story. I have to admit that I do not know how Bentley stuck it out with Jackson so long. It takes a strong woman to put up with all of Jackson's insecurities.
