Thanks once again to my incredibly talented and dedicated editor Alex Logan, who not only makes every book so much better but also gives me the time I need to write the story of my heart. Many thanks to the hardworking sales, marketing, production, and art departments at Grand Central Forever for all their support and efforts on behalf of my books. I’m also grateful to my daughter Jess for reading Ava and Griffin’s story through its many stages and to my agent Pamela Harty for always being there when I need her.

Special thanks to the lovely Roberta Capizzi for not only being a fabulous cheerleader for both the Christmas, Colorado series and Harmony Harbor series but also for kindly offering to be my “little Italian helper” and making sure I get the Italian words and phrasing right.

My heartfelt thanks to the wonderful readers, bloggers, and reviewers who have been so supportive of me and my series. Your lovely e-mails, tweets, Facebook posts, and reviews mean the world to me.

And to my wonderful husband, amazing children, and adorable granddaughters, thank you for all your love and encouragement, and supporting me in doing what I love to do. Love you all so very much.
