Dedication

To Alice, your friendship spans the miles

like you’re right next door.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Acknowledgements

Without the support of my family, there would be no books, no novellas, no nothing—thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. Boys, Mom—I love you!

Thank you to Heartland Romance Authors and Midwest Romance Writers for your continued support and the "family" you've become. To all my fellow authors at The Wild Rose Press—you're wonderful, and such a fun group of people. You make everything so much more enjoyable.

Last but not least, thank you Jewelann Cone and Callie Lynn Wolfe for your continued enthusiasm and support.
