Acknowledgments

The Dunway Siblings are back! I have such fun with this family, and with the gender-flipped fairy tales that inspire their love stories. (Okay, I admit Rapunzel wasn’t the strongest mapping option, but poor Karl was trapped in a tower and needed me to find a way to rescue him.)

I couldn’t have brought Margo to the page without the constant support of my family. Robert, as always, is the best. I also appreciate my dad for having an 80th birthday that worked as a convenient deadline during a sometimes tough and always scattered year. Thanks for always holding up “love you more” as a real-life standard for romance.

This story benefited from the brilliant editorial advice of Jennifer Prokop; Jen, thanks for the guidance, insight, and encouragement. I’m also grateful for the kindness and expertise of my sensitivity editor David Pena, and for Karen’s sweet, prompt proofreading.
