Jacquelin Thomas is an award winning, best
selling author with twenty-nine titles in print. Her books have garnered

Festival for the movie adaptation of her novel, Hidden Blessings. She was
the first recipient to receive the Writers Achievement Award at the North
Carolina Book Festival in Winston-Salem.
Although Jacquelin initially published in the romance genre, she decided to
follow the call on her heart to write Christian fiction because she seeks to
write books that will touch your heart and uplift your spirits with tales of
characters who yearn to have an intimate relationship with God. Committed to
writing books that glorify God and her growing teen audience, Jacquelin
published the first of her Young Adult Inspirational Fiction series titled
Simply Divine in October 2006. Her second book in the series, Divine
Confidential was nominated for a 2008 NAACP Image Award. She has since gone
on to publish two more books in the series. When asked why she is so
passionate about writing teen novels, Thomas shares that teens are
confronted with so much—sex, drugs, violence and abuse, physically and
mentally. They need to not only listen to what the world says about these
things but also to what the Bible says.
Jacquelin is a member of the National Writers Union, Romance Writers of
America and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. She is
happily married to her best friend and is the proud mother of three
children. Jacquelin and her family live in North Carolina.

Samson Taylor has just been installed as assistant pastor at a thriving North Carolina church. He’s a man of God—and most definitely no saint. Handsome and charismatic, Samson is controlled by his lust for beautiful women, a weakness that stirs up trouble, heartache, betrayal, and damaging rumors—and soon costs him his marriage, his best friendship, and even his new job. Samson loves God and tries harder than ever to keep his temptations in check. Then he meets Delinda. . . .Beautiful, irresistibly sexy, and married to a famous NBA star, Delinda has Samson head-over-heels in love . . . in a dangerous affair that leads to a physical confrontation with Delinda’s husband.Now, the disgraced pastor begins a journey he could never have anticipated, where his heart is now his guide—not a heart of lust, but of new wisdom and a new kind of seeing. God will forgive Samson’s past—but will Samson himself be able to let go of bitterness and regret, and find a new light in his life?Inspired by the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah, Jacquelin Thomas powerfully portrays a modern-day pastor’s dance with earthly desires . . . and the faith that made him whole.
