Acknowledgments

I am blessed to have many fabulous people working with me to bring my books to readers. My most sincere thanks to everyone at St. Martin’s Press. Leading the way is my phenomenal editor, Eileen Rothschild, whose insight and instincts are unsurpassed. Thank you so much, Eileen, for helping me make the books the best they can be. My thanks to the rest of my St. Martin’s team, including Tiffany Shelton, production editor Laurie Henderson, production manager Jeremy Haiting, copy writer Elizabeth Wildman, senior marketing manager Marissa Sangiacomo, Naureen Nashid with digital marketing, and Sara LaCotti with publicity. A special thank-you to Danielle Christopher for the fabulous cover design. I have the best covers!

I also need to thank Meg Ruley and Christina Hogrebe with Jane Rotrosen Agency for all you do on my behalf, year in and year out.

And to Mary Dickerson. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for your unfailing guidance, generosity, and friendship. These books are as much yours as they are mine.

I have the best job in the world and I appreciate the efforts of everyone who makes it possible for me to spend my days lost in Eternity Springs and Redemption, Texas.
