Bringing to life that complex and stormy bond between Gardner and Riddick is not the easiest of challenges. I am indebted, as always, to my wonderful editorial team, Emily Ruston, Candida Bradford, Susan Sugden, for their guidance and faith in my abilities.
To my children, my eternal wellsprings of inspiration and joy, I thank you for the countless smiles you bring to my face. My gratitude extends to the rest of my family, Jo included, for their ceaseless encouragement and understanding of the frustrating daydreamer nestled in the corner.
I also extend my heartfelt appreciation to all bloggers and ARC readers, especially Kath, Donna and Sharon.
So, until our next meeting when Gardner and Riddickâs relationship faces its toughest challenge yet, enjoy the stunning North Yorkshire scenery.
