ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thank you to Nicola Robinson, Chrysoula Aiello, and the team at Harlequin. Another gorgeous cover! And thank goodness someone knows where to put the commas.
Clementine Edwards, it’s always a pleasure to work with you. Fingers crossed we’ll meet again in the margins.
To my agent, the late Sheila Drummond, thank you for always telling it how it is.
A special thanks to financial advisor Michelle Veitch for providing an insight into the world of finance and international banking. And to former midwife Wendy Sullivan, your expertise was appreciated.
