Desires. BROKEN SILENCE, an anthology with Maggie Shayne and Eileen Wilks,
topped the Waldenbooks Series Romance Bestseller List the week of its release.
BILLIONAIRE BACHELORS: RYAN (January '02) won the Golden Leaf Award and has been
nominated for the Booksellers Best Award. The same novel was #1 on both
the Waldenbooks Series Romance Bestseller List and the Amazon.com Bestselling
Silhouette Desire list during the same week. Additionally,
BILLIONAIRE BACHELORS: STONE was an Amazon.com #1 bestseller and was a
finalist for the Holt Medallion, while her June 2001 Silhouette Desire, A MOST
DESIRABLE M.D., was a #1 bestseller on the Waldenbooks Series Romance list and
in the #2 slot at Amazon.com during the same period. THE PREGNANT PRINCESS and
