Acknowledgments

I am so grateful to the many talented people who made this book possible!

Heather Howland, thank you for sushi and hand-holding, for believing in me, and always pushing me to be a better writer. I am so blessed to have you as my editor!

Meredith Clark, I’m so lucky fate threw us together! Your insight and structural knowledge of craft is amazing, and there’s so much I’ve yet to learn from you. Thank you for not rolling your eyes (that I could tell, anyway!) and for talking me off the ledge. Every. Single. Time.

Tawna Fenske and Marie Harte, thank you for long talks, long walks, and lots of wine! That you seasoned authors share so much with a fledgling like me makes my heart smile.

My awesome fan group, Melia’s Marvels, thanks for sticking with me on this crazy publishing journey. Here’s to another book birthday!

Lounge Ladies, thank you for your friendship, laughter, and unconditional love, even when I’m pretty sure you’d like to sometimes shake some sense into me. You all ROCK!

Rhonda Pollero, thank you so much for the Facebook friendship, and for providing the movie suggestion that kicks off Grant and Stacey’s first love scene. You rock!

And, as always, my heartfelt gratitude to the team at Entangled Publishing. Your hard work and dedication to authors makes me so proud to call Entangled “home.”
