Many thanks to my editor Alex Logan for allowing me the creative freedom to follow my vision for this book and the new series. She not only works tirelessly on behalf of my books, but she also makes each one so much better with her creative insights. To the dedicated sales, marketing, production, and art departments at Grand Central/Forever, thank you so much for all your efforts on behalf of my books. They’re greatly appreciated. I’m also grateful to my daughter Jess for reading the book through its many stages, and to my agent Pamela Harty for always being there when I need her.
My heartfelt thanks to Vanessa Kelly and Allison Van Diepen for all their support and encouragement. I’m so lucky to have you both in my life.
To Sharon and Scott LeClair, thank you for being the best sister and brother I could ask for. Love you both.
Thanks also to my mom and her friends for providing the inspiration for the Widow’s Club in Harmony Harbor. You’re not as quirky as the members in Harmony, but you’re just as wonderful and fun. You’re proof that seventy really is the new fifty.
To my wonderful husband, amazing children, and adorable granddaughters, I couldn’t do what I do without your love and support. Thank you. You guys are my world.
To the readers who have been on this journey with me since the release of the first book in the Christmas, Colorado, series, thank you so very much for sticking with me. Your support and your lovely reviews, e-mails, Facebook posts, and tweets mean the world to me. I hope you enjoy hanging out with the Gallaghers of Harmony Harbor as much as you did the McBrides of Christmas, Colorado.
