I want to thank both Mackenzie Walton and Stephanie Doig at Carina for helping bring this book into the world. I never thought I’d be writing for Harlequin! I’m also deeply grateful to Lauren, who let me tell my first big werewolf story in a game years ago (and somehow, she was also named Mackenzie).
I owe my deepest gratitude to Maria for her assistance with Spanish translation and dialects, as well as Stefanie for sensitivity reading.
And I would be nowhere without the constant support of my family and friends, no matter how many times they’ve heard my head spin over edits, drafts, paperwork, and that mythical beast called marketing. I love you all very much—and thank you.
