ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thank you, Mum. Always my first and most important reader! I’m eternally grateful for your constant patience, support, encouragement, and belief in me. Thank you for always being there for me – I don't know what I'd do without you. Love you lots!

Thank you Bill, Toby, Cathie, and Bev for your continued love, enthusiasm, and support. Thank you to Jayne Lloyd and Charlotte McFall for being such wonderful friends.

Thank you to my best friend, Marie Landry, for being a constant light in the darkness and brightening up every day. I love you to bits. Thank you for being the best best friend I could ever have hoped to find!

A big shoutout to some Facebook groups who support me tirelessly and are an absolute pleasure to be part of. If you’re looking for book-loving groups filled with lovely readers who will be good for your soul (but terrible for your to-read list!) then I highly recommend joining The Friendly Book Community, Heidi Swain and Friends, Chick Lit and Prosecco, The Socially Distanced Book Club, and Bookswap Central. Thank you so much to all members and admins of these wonderful groups who put in so much effort to make little communities that are a joy to belong to!

Thank you to all the team at Boldwood for welcoming me with open arms! Thank you to my amazing editor, Emily Ruston, along with the rest of the team and my fellow authors who have been so warm, friendly and enthusiastic! I’m looking forward to being part of such a fantastic crew!

Thank you to my wonderful agent, Amanda Preston, for all the advice and support over the last few months – it’s been incredible to have you on my side!

And finally, thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed Sadie and Witt’s story and will join me again for the next book – there are many more happily ever afters to come!
