Acknowledgments

Thanks go out to my wonderful editor, Reina Willams, who always gives me great advice and encouragement. You’re a rockstar, Reina.

Also to Tatiana Villa, my cover designer. An artist who listens and makes each new book a vision.

And to my audiobook narrator, Reba Buhr, a magician who brings my characters to life on every page. Thank you for taking a chance on an author who knew nothing about audiobooks except that a great performance can transform a story and make it soar above the words on the page.

And finally to Kristina Kairn, Sue Sbardellati, Layla Reyne, and Elisabeth Barrett, fellow authors who keep the lights burning even when the path grows dark. You are my sisters, my clan.

Fist up.

Gayle
