THANK YOU to my wonderful readers Con Riley, Jay Dellamere Northcote, Virginia, Maggie, Karin, and Janel. You’re the best cheerleaders anyone could ask for. I appreciate your honesty and candor. Warm gratitude and unending thanks go to my editor, Mel. You make me sound so much better.
Special thanks to Connie, Jen, and Poppy for all your time, love, and support. And to all the great authors from around the world who hide with me under our virtual fort of blankets while we sip wine, talk about writing, and push and support each other.
B.G. Thomas, thanks for helping me with a special name. Elizabeth North, thanks for helping me realize Hugo was written just the way he needed to be.
Thanks to Dreamspinner Press: Elizabeth North, Lynn West, Ginnifer Eastwick, Jo, Heather, Yv, and cover artist Anne Cain.
And to John, who allows me to fall in love with the men who live in my mind and then still warmly welcomes me back in our bed at night.
