Acknowledgments

Thanks once again to the incredible team at Grand Central Forever for all their efforts on behalf of my books, especially my fabulously talented editor, Alex Logan. I couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, hard-working, supportive bunch. Thanks also to my wonderful agent, Pamela Harty, for always being there for me.

Many thanks to the members of the Mazzuca and LeClair families, especially my mom, in-laws Bob and Rose, brother, sister, and sister-in-law Connie. I am truly blessed to have you in my world. And to my wonderful husband, amazing children, and adorable granddaughters, thank you for all your love and encouragement and for supporting me in doing what I love to do. Love you all so very much.

Thanks to my writing pals Vanessa Kelly and Allison Van Diepen for the laughs and friendship. Love you both. A special thanks to my daughter Jess, who reads my first drafts, answers my endless questions, and isn’t afraid to tell me when something doesn’t work.

And to the readers, bloggers, and reviewers who take time out of their busy lives to spend a few hours with me in Christmas, Colorado, you have my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for the lovely e-mails, tweets, and Facebook posts. You guys are the best.
