Acknowledgments

I wouldn’t be able to do this job that I love so much without the constant, unwavering support of my family. Especially my husband who has been there for every bend in the road. Love you, babe.

Thank you to my wonderful and diverse group of friends, some of whom are writers, some of whom are readers, and some of whom just like to knock back a glass of wine with me every now and then. You know who you are and you make my world a brighter place.

To the people who run the real historical inn that inspired this story, thank you for your support and encouragement, and for opening your doors to history geeks like me.

And finally, thank you to my editors, Candace Havens and Allison Collins for all of your hard work, dedication, and knowledge of the written word. I’ll be forever grateful.
