Acknowledgments

Each book has a different path; each set of characters demands a different journey. From the start, Izzy and Nolan had a slightly more serious tone to them, their origin story weighing heavily over them. Archie was the one there for the laughs, and helped create most of them, keeping his parents in line. To help me write Archie I set up a folder on my desktop with a few special images and memories of my own kid at nine months, to remind me of those times long ago. The sweet baby smiles, the cuddles, the diapers, I wanted to bring all of that to this story and not have a baby character as a silent prop, but causing interruptions, as babies do.

Thank you to the Entangled team, especially Liz Pelletier and Lydia Sharp. I feel honored to be able to continue this series and journey with you all!

To my agent, Lynnette Novak, thank you for always being there to hold my hand and prop me up!

Rochelle Karina, Heather DiAngelis, Karen Mahara, Laura Heffernan, you always are willing to read my words and give me amazing feedback. You also put up with my million and one questions and the over questioning I do on everything. Thank you for not giving up on me. To Jami Nord, you are always there, ready to help me out with little snags and snafus, thank you for not blocking my messages (yet).

To my family: My writing takes up a lot of my time, and takes me away from you. Thank you for believing in me and supporting me. It means the world.

To my readers old and new: Thank you for reading, for taking a chance on me. I hope I have given you entertainment, and hope I get to do so again!
