My thanks go to:
My husband and children, for your love and support.
My three dogs for keeping me company as I write, edit and write some more.
My warm and wonderful agent, Amanda Preston at LBA, for your support and advice.
The fabulous team at Canelo, in particular my lovely editor Laura McCallen, for helping me to work through the issues in the first draft of this story to make it much stronger, as well as for patiently answering my many questions. Also, special thanks to the real Fran for letting me borrow your name.
Bob Lindo at Camel Valley in Cornwall, for answering my questions about running a vineyard, even when you were in the middle of pressing grapes.
The supporters of Greyhound Rescue Wales for helping me to choose a name for the scruffy little lurcher pup.
My author and blogger friends: thank you for cheerleading, offering advice and for being there.
The readers who come back for more and who take the time to write reviews and share the book love.
