Acknowledgments

My deepest gratitude to the following people who helped make this book possible.

Thanks to my agent extraordinaire, Sarah E. Younger, who always has my back and is a joy to work with. I could not ask for a better agent!

Thanks to my editor, Tessa Woodward, for her excellent editorial advice. She makes my books so much better! And thanks to Elle Keck, Kayleigh Webb, Imani Gary, and the rest of the team at Harper Voyager for their help and support.

Thanks to Victoria Mathews, the copyeditor who found my dropped articles and misplaced words.

Thanks to Patrick Ferguson, Tracy Smith, and Whitney Bates for reading the raw draft, giving me feedback, and understanding when I fall in a deadline hole for two months. You are the best!

Thanks to Ilona and Gordon for their help, support, and guidance.

Thanks to Bree and Donna for shouting about my books all over Twitter. I’m sure many of you found me because of them and I am deeply grateful.

My utmost love and gratitude to my husband, Dustin, who is my first reader, greatest cheerleader, and dearest friend. Thank you for cooking while I work!

And finally, thanks to you, readers. You took a chance on my debut novel and came back for book two. Your support means everything! Happy reading!
