This book is dedicated to my children, Katie, Zoe and Zack. Thank you for the thrill you guys get out of telling people your mom is a novelist. It warms my heart.

I love you.

Thank you to my wonderful critique group, with a special shout-out to Jo Ann Mathews (http://www.jamathews.com) who was also my copy editor and Adam Biggs who helped tremendously by giving a guy's point of view. A big thanks goes to my two wonderful beta readers, Diana Poythress and my sister-in-law, Joyce, and special recognition to Vanessa Duncan for being willing to assist. 


Thank you all for helping to make Deceiving an Heiress the best book it could be.
