Acknowledgements

My first thanks go to the wonderful team of Clare, Heather, Anna, Julia and Flora at RedDoor Books for making this happen; in particular to Clare for your wise advice on the very first manuscript.

As you’ll have discovered, my heroine is a weeny bit obsessed with Richard Branson so I’d also like to thank him for the words of wisdom used by Angie. The full article can be read at www.virgin.com/entrepreneur/richard-branson-how-deal-competitors

I’d also like to thank Scotland! The Islands and West Coast gave me the treasure trail and it’s simply beautiful. Go there – visit the library in the woods and the most wonderful beaches. It’s truly a place to soothe the soul.

Finally, The Heat is On is all about the power of friendships and I’m lucky to have some fab friends who’ve been incredibly supportive as I’ve been tapping away on this keyboard. You’ve come to and hosted launch events, shared posts, written reviews, sipped the odd glass of bubbly with me and generally made the journey much more fun. Without you all, I wouldn’t have nearly as much material to work with!

And finally, finally thanks again to my family – the whole loud, lovely, lively lot and to Jason, my rock.

Never change – any of you!
