Acknowledgments

 

FIRST, a million thank-yous to my wonderful family, chosen and blood. I love you all so much and am endlessly grateful for your support and encouragement. A special thank-you to Tara, who always reminds me to take joy in my work. And to Michael, my first and most attuned reader.

Thank you to my wonderful team of beta readers: Rebecca, SM, Quinn, Kat, and Daphne. Your advice and thoughtful feedback improved this story so much.

I’m so grateful to the entire team at Dreamspinner Press, especially Sue Brown-Moore, who supported this project from its inception.

And last but certainly not least, the biggest thank-you of all to my readers. I hope you enjoy reading Mikah and Matt’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it!
