ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

By the time this novel releases, 2019 will be a memory, and it was a crazy year. So many wonderful things came together for my writing career, and a lot that would have been impossible without my super-agent, Nicole Resciniti, and my wonderful editor, Alicia Condon. You have both been a dream to work with, and I hope to live up to all the faith you have put in my work.

Thanks, too, to the entire team at Kensington, especially my publicist, Larrisa Ackerman, who goes the extra mile every time.

Even though my writing has taken off this year in unexpected ways, it has been daunting to write as much as I have in the last twelve months. Very special thanks to friends Mariellyn Grace, Delia Haidautu, and Alexandra Coley for keeping me sane, to my family, Andy, Nicole, Belle, and Andrew, for being understanding, and to David Seymour for weathering the ups and downs of an exciting but crazy time in my life.

Finally, thanks to my Father in Heaven. I could not do this without you.
