Acknowledgements

Many thanks go first of all to my amazing Where-would-I-be-without-you editor, Rhea Kurien who made all this happen in the first place, and to all the lovely people at Aria and Head Of Zeus. 

To my various tribes who support me unconditionally – my mum, family and friends, in particular my dear friend Phyllis Aquilina who shouts from the rooftops about my every book! I think she falls in love with my new male character every time!

And speaking of, thanks to my co-Aidan Turner fans on FB who write me to tell me how much they enjoy my books. That is so kind of you all and I truly appreciate your continuous support!

Also, many, many thanks to my writer buddies, in particular Holly Martin, author of the most gorgeous, feel-good and uplifting romances, and to the Queen of Crime, novelist Angela Marsons who has read and thumbs-upped more than one of my synopses! You ladies rock!

A special thanks goes to my FGM Elisabeth Jennings, romance writer extraordinaire and godmother of the Matera Women’s Fiction Festival who told me to never stop writing.

And finally, to my DH and rock in the storm Nick for being there for me 24/7.
