First and foremost, I have nothing but love for my brilliant co-author, Angie Morgan, without whom this series would never have been written. We started writing My Rogue, My Ruin out of a shared passion for historical romance, and three books later, I couldn’t imagine writing about fearless heroines and dashing rogues with anyone else. One Brain for the win! To our editor, Alethea Spiridon, and publisher, Liz Pelletier, who took on the Lords of Essex series, a huge thank you for believing in us and these books—we wouldn’t be here without you. To the production and publicity teams at Entangled, thanks for all you do. Thanks to Liza Fleissig who championed this “guilty pleasure” from the start. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the readers, fans, and friends who continuously advocate for my books. I am so humbled by your enthusiasm and support. Lastly, to my wonderful family—Cameron, Connor, Noah, and Olivia—my Happy Ever After simply wouldn’t be possible without you.

It’s amazing to think that what started out as a funny back and forth on Twitter with Amalie, alliterating all the reasons we loved historical romance (“Dastardly Dukes!”; “Virile Viscounts!”; “Manly Marquesses!”), has become a fully-fledged book baby. I’ve had so much fun writing the Lords of Essex series with you, Amalie. Thank you for having my back, for pushing me when I needed it, and for always being there. One Brain forever! Thank you to my agent, Ted Malawer, for traveling this new publishing road with me. You’ve always been so supportive of my writing and my career. I’ll say it again: I have the best agent. To the entire team we’ve worked with so far at Entangled Publishing and Select Historical—Alethea Spiridon, Liz Pelletier, Heidi Stryker, and Holly Simpson—thank you so much for believing in this book and doing everything you have for it. We are thrilled to be Entangled authors! And finally, to my husband, Chad, who is by far the “Duke of my Dreams!” and our daughters, Alex, Joslin, and Willa. I love you!
