This book—like most others from me—is the product of mulling ideas for months and years. It's also the product of cheerleading and support from dear friends, author colleagues, and eager readers. You know who you are and you know how you've helped me, and for that, I'm forever thankful.
Many thanks to the Read Me Romance podcast and narrators Savannah Peachwood and Christian Fox for introducing the world to Neera and Gus.
Now and always, gratitude goes out to all the pervy girls from Kate Canterbary's Tales. Your love and affection for these characters astounds me every day.
My husband doesn't read my books but he does flip to the back to see if he's been mentioned in the acknowledgements. So, here you go, honey. Thank you for keeping the coffee flowing and only asking when I'd be finished with this one a few times.
