Thank you, darling, for always believing in me. I couldn’t do any of this without you. And I wouldn’t want to.
All my thanks to my amazing agent, Kelly Peterson, for loving Massimo as much as I do and helping find a place for him in the world.
I am continually grateful to Mary Altman and the entire team at Sourcebooks for giving this story a chance and bringing my dreams to life in the coolest way possible. Additional thanks to Christa Soulé Désir for having some of my favorite feedback reactions of all time.
Michelle Hazen…you’ve stuck by me and this book for half a decade. Thank you so much for reading it a million times. I’m sorry about all the emails.
All the awards (and tacos) should be given to Sandra Lombardo, Hoku Clements, Maxym Martineau, Lindsay Hess, Shanna Alderliesten, and Andrea Contos, who also provided their invaluable feedback on early drafts of this book. (And boy, were there a lot of drafts.)
Grazie mille to Marisa Escolar for translating all the Italian and making sure my coffee details were correct, along with everything else Italian related. You are a life saver.
Everyone else who had a hand in this through years of querying and writing contests and teaching me pretty much everything I know (though they may not know it): Shira Hoffman, Shannon Powers, Kat Kerr, Lisa Rodgers, Michelle Hauck, Amy Trueblood, Sun vs Snow, Query Kombat, Brenda Drake, Pitch Wars and PitMad, and the Fellowship. Y’all really know your stuff. (And I probably forgot a lot of people. I’m sorry! I love you!)
I am incredibly lucky to have the support of an adoring father and doting stepmother. Thank you for making books such a big part of our lives. And for not freaking out when I called and said I was going to be a romance author.
To my mother in heaven: Massimo is not Billy, Mom. You may wanna go back to Billy.
Morgan Lancaster, you are the kind of best friend people write books about. I’m so glad you shared your bus seat with me.
My wonderful son: you are the joy in my heart and the reason for everything I do. Thank you for every hug, and I’m so proud of the young man you’re growing into.
And finally, to my darling husband: I still need five more minutes. Though I doubt forever will be enough time with you.
