Acknowledgements

No matter what is going on in my life, I get to do what I love surrounded by the people I love—a blessing that I thank God for every single day. Writing and publishing a book doesn’t happen without the support and help from a host of incredible people.

To my fantastic, equally dragon-obsessed readers (especially my Awesome Nerds Facebook fan group!), thanks for going on these journeys with me, for your kindness, your support, and generally being awesome. Rune’s story is one I wanted to write even while I was brainstorming the series and hadn’t written a single word yet. I just love the antihero so much, and knew exactly what kind of heroine he needed. I hope you fell in love with these characters and their story as much as I did. If you have a free sec, please think about leaving a review. Also, I love to connect with my readers, so I hope you’ll drop a line and say “Howdy” on any of my social media!

To my editor, Heather Howland…your edits are my addiction and you make all my books so much better. Thank you!

To my Entangled family…everything you do is awesome! I mean it. I love working with all of you every single chance I get.

To my agent, Evan Marshall…thank you for your faith, your support, and your guidance. I love my career and you are such a huge part of that.

To Nicki…there aren’t enough words, bestie.

To my support team of beta readers, critique partners, writing buddies, reviewers, friends, and family (you know who you are)…as always, a thousand thanks!

To my author sisters/brothers and friends…you inspire me every day!

Finally, to my own partner in life and our beautiful kids…I don’t know how it’s possible, but I love you more every day.
