Acknowledgments

I’ve had this story, or parts of it, in my head for a long time. Some of my favorite romances are the ones that acknowledge that not every story ends at the wedding vows—sometimes, that’s just the beginning! Big thanks to my editor, Rose Hilliard, for helping me get this story out of my head and onto the page while keeping it passionate and fun and exciting, and special credit to Elsie Lyons for the lovely cover art.

Major thanks to Sarah MacLean, who gave me the key that unlocked Johnny’s heart. This would be a very different book without her!

Thank you to my sister, Georgia Edwards, for stepping up and being an incredible source of emotional support when I needed it most.

And, as always, my biggest thanks go to my husband, Nick, along with my whole heart. I might be able to do all of this on my own … but I wouldn’t want to.
