Dark Sexy Knight (A Modern Fairytale) (30 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First and foremost, my most humble and earnest thanks to Mia, who convinced me that the world needs fairy tales even when the world breaks my heart a little. Your camaraderie makes me so much stronger than I am on my own. I love you, lady. #SEF

To Amy (#SEF, baby! Your notes were EVERYTHING), Amy, Kirby, Toni, Penelope, Skye, Karen, Christi, Laura, Laura, Lauren, Pam, Penny, Heidi, Taylor, Kally, and all of my other author friends, who bring a huge smile to my face. I am grateful to all of you for your friendship, advice, enthusiasm, and support. This can be a lonesome job. You make it awesome instead.

To the Honorable Michael Goetz, who enlightened me on the ways a special-needs dependent could compel a judge to impose counseling on a guardian who appeared to have an anger management problem. I am grateful to you.

To my team: Chris and Melissa (line and copy edits), Tessa (developmental edits), Marianne (cover design and graphics), Tanya (graphics), Cassie Mae (formatting), and Jessica (blog tours)—I do not merely flatter you when I say I have the best team in the entire world. I’m just telling it like it is. I am grateful for every one of you. Your talent is immeasurable, and I depend on you more than you can ever know. Thank you for coming through for me time and time again.

To my parents, George and Diane, for being the guiding lights of my life. You encourage and inspire, support and celebrate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unconditional love. I am the luckiest daughter in the whole world.

And finally, to George, Henry, and Callie. You are my dearly beloved, my heart, my soul, my whole life. The most important thing is kindness, and I love you all the much.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

New York Times
and
USA Today
bestselling author Katy Regnery
started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.

Now exclusively self-published, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; the Enchanted Places Series; and a stand-alone novella,
Frosted
.

Katy’s first modern fairytale romance,
The Vixen and the Vet
, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the
USA Today
bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story,
Marrying Mr. English
, appeared on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s boxed set, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4, became a
New York Times
bestseller.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.
