As he started up the engine, he considered where to go next. One of his sisters would be his best bet. They weren’t happy with him for being so out of touch over the past couple of years, but they wouldn’t turn him away, either. Ella was most likely asleep since she was up at dawn with her horses, so she was out of the question. And Jules, though potentially still awake, tended to have the strongest opinions about the way he lived his life. So that was a no.
Which left Fitz. She might razz him a bit, but she wouldn’t push. She might even let him hide out for a few days. Plus, he owned the apartment she lived in and had his own key. He gunned the gas and headed into town.

Acknowledgments
Thank you, first, to my agent Sarah Younger, for your advice, support, and friendship, especially during my freak-out periods, which will hopefully become fewer and further between.
Thank you to my incredible readers and editors Bobbi, Theresa, and Jessica.
And a humongous gracias to my friend, Marina Ituarte, mi más maravillosa enemigo. (I had to rely on the web translator for that one, so it’s probably wrong. )
This novella would not exist if not for my mom and dad playing Grandma and Grandpa Extraordinaire by hanging out for an entire week and helping things run. And to Kelley, who has so far lived with, um, the chaotic clutter and has come to accept it gets even more chaotic and cluttered every time deadlines come around. Also because he is my true-life hero, slaying dragons left and right. (And by dragons, I mean driving kids to school, packing lunches, making sure the household has actual meals, because, well, deadlines.)
I’d also like to send out a huge thank you to the #SHVKW crew (#SHVKW rocks!), one of the most amazing group of ladies I have ever had the pleasure to be part of.
But most importantly, thank you to Marina Adair. There are so many reasons to say thank you that I can’t possibly list them here, but I’ll try to hit the big ones: bringing me into the genre by writing such wonderful books. Being so welcoming and warm at the RWA book signing that it felt like the conference was a gathering of close friends rather than a huge, massive event. Helping make the launch of my first book an incredible experience with everything from offline support to online FB partying. And, finally, by inviting me to be a part of your world. My love, always.
