Thank you to my lovely friends Arpana, Surabhi, and Sneha who read early drafts of this book, helped me with the Hindi phrases, other cultural references, and told me which books to read in my research. I hope our friendship shines through in this book, and I am grateful for your assistance in helping create fully rounded characters. Thank you Romance Writers Australia for providing excellent opportunities to improve my craft, and a place to meet many wonderful writers who have encouraged me on this journey. Thank you Mimi for overseeing the childbirth scene.
As with the first two books in this series, I’m eternally grateful to my sister and beta reader Caro for her help in ironing out the plot. Thanks also go to Kate Cuthbert at Escape Publishing for this opportunity, to Brooke Moody for her edits, and the rest of the team at Harlequin who pulled this novel into a book.
