ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Special thanks . . .

 

To Sharon Wild, who started this journey off when she gave me my first Nora Roberts book. Love you!

To Stephanie Newton and Roberta Smith. You’re on opposite coasts and you’ve never met, but you’re the two most steadfast critique partners a girl could ask for. You encourage me, keep me grounded, and let me know when I’m on the right track.

To Tania Ramos, for providing valuable medical advice to help me with a plot point. Any errors in translation are mine.

To the baristas at the Starbucks at Bear Valley Road off the I-15. You’ve seen a lot of me over the past few years. Special thanks to Adam, Carleton, Marina, and Chelsea, for smiling when you see me, remembering my name, and never complaining about the table space I take up. And a very special thanks to Sergio, for keeping the place running.

To my readers. A book isn’t worth the paper (or e-ink) it’s written on unless the story reaches someone. Thanks for picking me up off the shelf or tucking me into your e-reader, and giving my characters a few of your precious hours. May you all live happily ever after!
