Acknowledgments

First, let me say: Thank YOU. I couldn’t write novels without you.

To my family, thank you for your patience with my dream—and letting me hang out in my head way too often.

To Colleen Wagner, thank you for pushing me to make this story better--for challenging me when and where I needed to be challenged. I’m so happy with how this book turned out.

To Emma Rider, this cover is gorgeous. GORGEOUS!!!!! It’s my favorite yet. Thank you for sharing so much of your beautiful self in it.

To Charity Chimni, your eagle-eye for grammar and typos is so deeply appreciated.

And to the reviewers, I would not be where I am today without you. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your time with me. Seriously. I greatly appreciate you taking the chance on my books. Thank you.

Each time I write one of these, I worry about everyone I’m forgetting. If I did, my deepest apologies and know that it’s more to do with my sloppy mind than you.
