Acknowledgments
Massive thanks to all the lovelies at Entangled who spent time with this story, especially Sue Winegardner and Heather Howland. You ladies, seriously…mwah, smooch, mush.
To Hayson Manning, for always seeing me through the first three chapters. When the FBI shows up at my door to seize my laptop, I will try my best to delete all emails between us with the subject line, “I Want to Invade You like Poland.”
To Robin Bielman, for effing around on Twitter with me when we both should be writing. The fact that you still manage to hit your word count merely confirms you have an arrangement with Satan.
To Maggie Kelley, for saying stuff like my website looks sexy. My website says you look sexy.
To my awesome LARA chapter-mates. You are a constant source of inspiration, support, and change for a $20.00.
To the readers! Some of you have been waiting a while for this story. I did my best to make sure Josh was worth the wait—for Melody and for you.
To my family, for grounding me when this writing stuff gets crazy-nuts. Not “grounding” in the sense that I can’t go to the movies…the other type of “grounding.”
