With special thanks to:

Mike Clawson, special event supervisor, for taking us behind the scenes at the House of Blues Las Vegas—your time and patience were greatly appreciated!

Robyne Wilson and Danielle Meyer, wedding coordinators at Vegas Weddings, where a bride can walk in, drive through, or do the whole nine yards.

The security screener at the Clark County Detention Center, who will remain unnamed, as I already got him in trouble once.

Loraine and Bill “we’ve never done Vegas like this” Simpson for sleuthing chapels, rooftops, jails, concert halls, and the back corridors of Las Vegas with us during the research phase of this book.

Also, thanks to my husband, Mark Parsons, for always being willing to “talk plot” and for putting the best spin on my harebrained schemes, and to Nancy Siscoe for her editorial wisdom and support in reaching this pivotal point in the series.
