Dedicated to:

My wonderful family. I love each one of you!

My first critique partners—Carole McPhee, Lydia Hawke and Mary Veelle—who read and reread this book without ever complaining. Also, Sheila Raye, Paisley Kirkpatrick, Stacey Kayne and Jean Mason. I appreciate you more than I can say.

As always, thank You, Lord!
