Acknowledgments

As always, nothing in my writing career would be possible without the support of others, especially my wonderful husband, Dave. Without your steadfast belief in me, I doubt I would have had the motivation to actually finish writing these stories, much less the confidence to submit them. You are awesome, and I love you.

Thank you to my wonderful friends, Amy Valentine and Nitza Campos, who are always willing to read manuscripts and provide feedback in the most gentle and helpful way.

I’d especially like to thank Tara Gelsomino. Working with you on this story has been a wonderful experience, and I have learned so much. You are an incredible editor, and I can’t wait to do it again.
