An author is just one of the many people who get books from an idea bouncing around in a brain to a printed or digital reality. Thanks to everyone who played a part in getting this story out of my gray matter and into the world!

As always, many thanks to my top-notch editor, Holly Ingraham, who is insightful and patient and keeps me on a loose leash.

Thanks to Sarah Melnyck, Paul Hochman, Jennie Conway, Allison Ziegler, and the rest of the team at St. Martin’s for all of your work in getting this book to readers.

Thanks to Danielle Christopher and Jennifer Taylor for creating such fun book covers for this series.

Thanks to my agent, Helen Breitwieser, for your efforts in furthering my writing career.

Thanks to the creative and professional Liz Bemis and the staff of Bemis Promotions for my great Web site and newsletters.

Thanks to authors Angela Cavener, Christie Craig, DD Ayres, and Susan Muller for your input and suggestions on my work, and for acting as sounding boards for me. I couldn’t do this without you, and I feel privileged to call you friends.

Thanks to Lis for your generous donation to the Richardson Adult Literacy Center at the annual Buns & Roses Romance Tea for Literacy. It was fun getting to feature your furry little girl Maya in the book!
