Acknowledgements
Incredible gratitude is owed to my husband, who is a constant source of support and lighthearted ribbing. I couldn’t write books without you, babe ;)
To the best friends/beta readers a girl could have – Amy, Terri, Karen, and Nelle – my friendship with each of you is priceless. ♥
To my editor Lisa, an incredible talent who I pay to bust my balls. Thanks E.K. for hooking us up!
Huge thanks goes to Lea for helping me manage just about everything!
And you, yes YOU. I am so grateful for every reader I’ve chatted with in the past two years. Meeting authors, hanging out with readers, and making FRIENDS has been the greatest blessing in this business. I say it all the time because it’s true, book people are the best people! Thank you.

About Adriane Leigh
Adriane Leigh was born and raised in a snowbank in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and now lives among the sand dunes of the Lake Michigan lakeshore.
She graduated with a Literature degree but never particularly enjoyed reading Shakespeare or Chaucer.
She is married to a tall, dark, and handsome guy, and plays mama to two sweet baby girls. She is a voracious reader and wishes she had more time to knit scarves to keep her warm during the arctic Michigan winters.
