To my editor Robin Haseltine, I can’t express how lucky I feel to have you in my corner. Your edits are spot on and helped put the extra-special shiny on this book. I look forward to a long, happy, and productive partnership because there are a lot more people in my head who want to their stories told.
My amazing critique partner, Christi Barth, came through with yet another fantastic beta read on the full manuscript. Her contemporary romance expertise was, as usual, invaluable. My bestie, the brilliant Laura Kaye was always on the other side of the Panera booth, ready to weigh in on whatever plot twist sprang to my mind. This book also benefited from an early read by Nicole Resciniti. If it weren’t for her, Gwen may never have fainted in Carter’s exceptionally strong arms.
I’m fortunate to have a cadre of friends who lend their support, experience, advice, and armchair counseling services. You ladies are the absolute best: Laura Kaye, Stephanie Dray, Christi Barth, Eliza Knight, Kate Quinn, Misty Waters, Joya Fields, Mindy Klasky, Rachel Harris, Jennifer Armentrout, Amanda Carlson, Melissa Landers, Marianne Harden, and Cheryl Klam.
To my amazing, brilliant, and sometimes mischievous children, Gillian, Riley, and Lila, thank you for understanding that Mommy is a little bit crazy and needs to write books about made up people. I know the late nights, writing weekends, and conference trips aren’t always easy, but I hope I’ve taught you the importance of following your dreams. Each and every one of you is exceptional and you can achieve anything you put your minds to.
And finally, to my own beloved, Patrick. Thank you for making all this possible. I couldn’t do it without you and your unflagging support. You are, as always, my very best decision.
