With heartfelt thanks . . .
To my editors, Audrey LaFehr and Esi Sogah, and my agent, Deirdre Mullane, who consistently make thoughtful suggestions, give words of encouragement, and guide me toward making each book the best it can be; to all the folks at Kensington—from cover design to sales and sub-rights—who do their very best to make every book a success; to my husband, Bruce, and our boys, Cole and Noah, who inspire me every day and fill my life with joy; to my dad—my number one fan—who continues to tell everyone he meets about my latest publishing endeavors; to all my friends and family who faithfully read and tell others about my books; and to my Lord and Savior—who makes all things possible—I am truly blessed!
