  She had the sinking sense that Sabrina wasn’t the only person who’d found her in Deep Haven. Those roses looked exactly like the last ones she’d received from her stalker.

  Acknowledgments

  A whole village was needed to raise this book baby. Seriously. A whole lot of people!

  First, I want to thank Susan May Warren and Lindsay Harrel. Thank you for taking a chance on me. You’ve been very patient and encouraging with this rookie. I’ve learned so much from you both. You’re quick to point out the good as well as the “needs some work.” (And let’s be honest, it needed a lot of work!) Not only are you both incredible authors in your own right, but you’re also generous hosts, gracious teachers, and true friends. I’m so grateful for you both.

  Editors Barbara Curtis and Rel Mollet helped make this story the best it could be. As someone who has a hard time with the details, God knew I’d need people like you on this team. Thank you!

  Throughout this whole process, I was never alone thanks to my fellow Deep Haven authors Andrea Christenson and Rachel D. Russell. Can you believe it? We did it! From brainstorming to late-night texts, random questions, and big-story problems, you two were there for me. I have loved collaborating with you and walking this road together. Let’s do it again!

  Linda Day, there are endless reasons I’m forever thankful for you. One of those reasons is that Ronnie would be pretty pitiful if not for your paramedic expertise. Thank you for helping me with the medical scenes and walking me through the procedures. Anything inaccurate is my error alone, because we both know I will never be as cool as you. Fun girls rock!

  Arlene Warga, thank you for taking me through the fire hall and answering my gazillion questions about firefighting. There are probably still things I didn’t get right, but that’s my fault. You and your crew are the real heroes.

  My writing amigas, Gail, Mollie, and Julie have walked this road with me each step of the way, cheering me on, lifting me up, and sometimes holding me together. Gracias, ladies. I love you all!

  My Novel.Academy prayer huddles have prayed me through this whole process! I hate to think where I would be without you. Alena, Sharon, Shirley, Dee, Becky, Diane, Karen, Janda, Dia, Joni, Kelly, and Teresa, I can’t thank you enough.

  To my MBT gals, you are the best! Tari, Lisa, Mandy, Kariss, Jeanne, Andrea, Alena, and Tracy. Y’all have been with me from the beginning of my writing journey. Hugs to each of you.

  Sonja, Karen, Angela, Bethany, and Elizabeth, you have been my lifeline before I ever started writing and you have continued to cheer me on every step of this journey. I thank God for each of you. I know you have my back.

  So many extended family and close friends made this book possible in a million big and little ways. Thank you for pouring into me and my family.

  And just like so many days when you were pushed to back of the line as I struggled to finish, I end these acknowledgements with the most important people in my life. Jesse, Anders, Evie, Lucy, and Trygg, you have put up with a lot in the process of writing this book. You kept me fed, sane, and encouraged. You were the first to celebrate with me. The first to pick me up when I was frustrated or falling apart. Any accomplishment of mine would be nothing without you. You all are the sunshine in my life, my reason for getting up each day. You are my heart.

  And to the Author of my life, all glory to You!
