Acknowledgments

To God: Another year, another book, another set of challenges and rewards I never could have dreamed of. Thank you.

To Heather Howland: It’s hard to believe this was the first category series you contracted from me—and the evolution this story has gone through since then. Thank you so much for helping me bring it to life and make it the best story it could be.

To Kari Olson: For always being down for some awesome country music recommendations. My wallet is still weeping, but Adam wouldn’t be quite as hot without some serious inspiration behind him. My playlist is killer for this series because of you!

To the Rabble: For being Adam’s first cheerleaders and for being so enthusiastic about this series! I hope he rocked your world like he rocked mine!

And to Tim: Yeah, yeah, you knew this was coming. Thank you for being my rock in the storm and for sharing the sleep deprivation so I wasn’t a total zombie while working. Love you like whoa!
