Rebecca Brandewyne née Wadsworth (born March 4, 1955, in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States) is an American writer of romance novels. Brandewyne has been published in multiple languages in over 60 countries.^[1]

In August 2006, a Kansas trial court ordered self-publishing company AuthorHouse to pay $240,000 in punitive damage as well as $230,000 in actual damage to Brandewyne and her parents for publishing a book by her ex-husband that was "harmful" and libelous of them. AuthorHouse was also ordered to pay $20,000 each to Brandewyne's parents for the damage. Although the court acknowledged that AuthorHouse employed a business model that placed a degree of responsibility for the content of works upon the authors, in this case it found that AuthorHouse had failed to act when it was informed that the book might include libelous content.^[3]
