Many, many thanks to Teresa Toten and Eric Walters for taking the lead on the Secrets books and for inviting me along for the ride. A special thanks to Andrew Wooldridge for aiding and abetting the endeavor, and to Sarah Harvey, the series editor, whom I am beginning to think of as “long-suffering Sarah.” And, of course, a shout-out to the other authors involved: Kelley Armstrong, Vicki Grant, Marthe Jocelyn and Kathy Kacer.
