Wager for a Wife was a unique endeavor in that it was originally written as a novella. My thanks to the team at Covenant for seeing its potential and urging me to turn my original submission into something bigger. I want to especially thank my editor, Samantha Millburn, whose patience and faith in me are of as much value as her editing acumen and encyclopedic mind for grammar. I’d also like to give a shout-out to Christina Marcano for the beautiful cover art and to Stephanie Lacy for her enthusiastic marketing. You both are stellar.
I’m grateful for my children and their spouses for their continued love and support and for giving me the most adorable grandchildren on the planet. I love you all.
And finally, thanks to Stephen, who supports my writing in the most real of ways—not merely with pep talks but with cooking and doing laundry and cleaning and encouraging me to take my laptop wherever we go. The man walks the walk. You are a true prince among men.
