ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First, thanks to Eric Walters for inviting me onto this project and to my fellow Secrets authors for their patience with my first collaborative series effort.

Thanks to Sarah Harvey at Orca for her help knocking this one into shape.

Thanks to Xaviere Daumarie for checking my French and reminding me about all those accent thingies I really did mean to add…later.

And thanks to my daughter, Julia, for double-checking my research, knowing that while I love to read historical fiction, writing it always makes me nervous!
