Dedication

 

Many thanks to my fellow NaNoWriMo masochists, especially the ones from Colorado Romance Writers, who shook their pom-poms in Novemeber 2012 when I was writing this book’s first draft. The backstory and subplots in this one nearly did me in.

A hearty muchas gracias to author Melissa Blue who beta read that first draft and offered some very valuable feedback that made me pout a little at first, but she was right. Dang it.

And finally, eternal gratitude to Lyrical’s Piper Denna who edited the technically rough Saint and Scholar and yet still cheerfully read this submission. Does wonders for a writer’s self-esteem.
