Writing a novel is never a singular endeavor. It takes a team. So I have many people I need to thank.
First of all I’d like to thank my family, Mrs. H and the Boy, for putting up with the long hours it took to write this story. I love you both very much!
I’d like to thank my editor, Sue Grimshaw, and all the people at Penguin Random House/Loveswept for their help and encouragement and taking a chance on my idea for this story. It’s so much better because of all of you and I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for putting up with extended deadlines and working with me on this so that I could shape it into the best novel possible. I’ve learned so much from all of you and you are just the best!
Thank you to my agent, Emily Sylvan Kim, and everyone else at Prospect Agency for believing in this story and helping get it published. You are all amazing!
Thank you to my indie publicist, Neda Amini, for your tireless work in helping promote this book and get it in front of more people. You are the best!
Thank you to my indie copy editors, Stacey and Trina at Spellbound, for checking over the synopsis before submission and for making it as clean as possible. And thank you for beta reading the story and for all of your helpful notes. They were truly invaluable.
Thank you to all of my beta readers: Marlena Salinas, Vivian Freeman, Rachel Saucy Owl, Lauren Lascola-Lesczynski, Cecily Bonney, Katie Ekvall, and Sissy Vela. You guys made this story better and I can’t thank you enough for your input.
Thank you to my Facebook group for all of your help in promoting the story and for all of your valuable feedback. I love all of you!
Lastly, thank you to all of my fans. You’re the reason I get to do what I do every single day. You are the best friends/fans an author could hope for. I truly hope you enjoy all the words contained in this book!
