Many thanks to my husband, Michael, for the great title and—always—the love and support; my editor, Miranda Hill, and her fine eye for where the best in the story lies; my agent, John Talbot, for standing in my corner, wherever that corner takes me; my Brainstorming musketeers Casey Daniels / Kylie Logan, Emilie Richards, and Serena Miller, for the chemistry and generosity, not to mention the laughs; and my daughters, Jess, Rebecca, and Liza, who always make me proud.
