Acknowledgments

Izzy and Trace’s story was a joy to write, as some books are. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a joy to edit, as my skilled, savvy, and sometimes strict editor, Heather Howland, can attest. However, I owe her an extra-big thank you this time around because she pretty much bought herself a ticket and moved to Captivity with me right from the first draft. I felt like she understood the town and the characters completely, (maybe better than me at times)! That kind of brain-sharing is a gift, and I truly appreciate it.

Massive thanks, also, to super-talented authors-slash-beta readers, Maggie Kelley, Hayson Manning, and Robin Bielman. I value your friendship so much and count myself lucky that I can abuse it on occasion to coerce you into reading my ugly first drafts. You ladies are, quite simply, the best!

Thanks to the lovely and talented Dani Gorman, who makes sure my social media sites don’t stagnate, my graphics don’t suck, my newsletters don’t look like something an ex-lawyer with no technical skills put together, and my website gets updated more than once a century. You’ve taking my game to a whole ‘nother level, and I sincerely couldn’t not do it without you!

A thousand thanks to the entire Entangled team, including Heather Riccio, Riki Cleveland, Bree Archer, Jessica Turner, Amy Acosta, Katie Clapsadl and Liz Pelletier.

Finally, thanks to romance readers everywhere.
