I’ve decided to say my thanks with KISSES (Keep It Short, Sweet and Especially Simple). So …

Thank you

to my gorgeous family who are everything

to me to Ant and James, my wonderful agents

to all the fantastic people at my publishers, Cornerstone (especially Susan, Jenny G, Gillian, Jen D, Richard, Charlotte, Natalie, Rebecca, Aslan)

to Emma D and Sophie, my great publicists.

A special thank you goes to those who helped with my research, particularly Sarah Marshall and Chris Manby, who also provided brilliant long chats as well as info.

And to E, G & M – thank you for being so amazing in every way. I love you.

As always, I would like to say thank you to you, the reader, for buying this book.
