Thank you to my lovely editors Laura Palmer and Lucy Gilmour for all their ideas and support on this book.
Thank you to everyone at Aria and Head of Zeus for all their hard work on each of the books in the series, especially marketing superstar Vicky Joss.
Thank you to all my friends, especially Jo Botelle and the lovely ladies of the DWLC whose advice and support is always invaluable.
Huge thanks to my wonderful family who are always there to cheer me on, especially my sister Gill, Simon, Louise, Ross, Lee, Cara and Sian.
A big thank you as always to my husband Dave who listens so patiently to random plot ideas about my imaginary world at the most unexpected times before helping me sort it all out. I couldn’t do this without you.
Finally, a huge thank you to all the readers and bloggers out there whose enthusiasm for the lives and loves of the residents of Willow Tree Hall has amazed me. Your encouragement and reviews have kept me going through some tricky times these past two years and I’m so thankful that you’ve taken this series to heart. This book is for all of you.
