Acknowledgments

I am blessed to have the love and support of so many talented and nurturing people.

To Allison Collins, Jolene Navarro, Joni Hahn, Storm Navarro, and Marilyn Tucker, for being the first to welcome the Otto-Buchanan family onto the page.

Thank you Teri Wilson, Julia London, K.L. White, Frances Trilone, and Maria Rodriguez for suffering through early drafts and loving me anyway.

I am thankful for my wonderful, strange, unique family—by blood or by choice. Thanks for always having my back!

To my Cowboy and my kids - I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for giving me the chance to chase my dreams and cheering me along the way!
