Acknowledgments

The idea for this book, and the whole Seaside Cove series, was conceived in March 2020. Of course, the world has changed a lot since then. Even in my small corner of the universe, since 2020, I’ve gotten married, built a house, moved, and had a baby. Phew! Makes me tired just thinking about it. Writing and publishing a book always takes a whole team of people. But this one…and with all those life changes…means I really have a lot of angels to acknowledge.

First, a huge thank you to my editor Lydia whose insightful comments and suggestions truly made this a better book. Thanks for putting up with me and always checking in.

To the Queen of Entangled, Liz Pelletier. Thanks for taking a chance on me, both with this series and way back when I was writing novellas.

Big kisses and sparkles to Jessica, Curtis, Hannah, Elizabeth, Bree, Riki, and the entire team at Entangled. I love all of your energy and your emails make me smile.

I’d like to thank one of my favorite writers, Lauren Layne, for reading this book and sending the most amazing cover quote. I can’t tell you how much your kind words mean to me. I want to be you when I grow up.

To Nic, there aren’t enough thank you’s for everything you do for me. I wouldn’t want to go through this journey without you.

Mom and Dad, thank you for, well, EVERYTHING. I truly couldn’t have gotten through the last couple of years without you. From cleaning my house to watching the baby to helping us move to babysitting Harry to taking care of me, plus the cooking, the grocery shopping, and the laughs.

Harry, thank you for your unconditional love. I wouldn’t be able to write without you curled up in your bed under my desk.

To my darling daughter, Coraline Quinn. You are my joy and the light in my life.

John, this book is for you. Thank you for making my dreams come true.
