To my Viking,

I love you!

 

To Kerry, Jesse, and Team NAL,

thank you, thank you, thank you!

 

And to Stephanie Kip Rostan,

you really are Agent Awesome. I heart you so much!

 

And also, this is for Nia Shay (http://cheznia.com), because she is the inspiration for Dove.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

All hail the Viking, who is the best hand-holding, pep-talking, hug-giving, praise-delivering man
ever
. Thank you for all that you do, babe. I love you.

Stephanie Kip Rostan, Monika Verma, and everyone at Levine Greenberg Literary Agency are worth their weights in gold. And chocolate. And awesomeness.

I owe a lifetime supply of warm, fuzzy hugs (and booze, lots of booze) to Kerry Donovan, Jesse Feldman, and all those stalwart, patient souls who work on Team NAL. Thank you, thank you, and . . . thank you!

I also wanted to mention Wendy Bocock. Because Wendy Bocock (who is not named Jennifer, in case you were wondering . . . and I called her that forever because I really did think she and Mindy Fletcher and Amanda Fenley were all named Jennifer), Mindy and Amanda and Stephanie and the real Jennifer and Kelley Hartsell and Felicia Sparks are made of awesome, especially when imbibing booze at a Greek restaurant. We tend to scare the other patrons there every time with our conversations, which inevitably turn to erotica. Heh. Oh, and I just wanted to say again . . . WENDY BOCOCK.

I heart my Minions! Thank you to everyone who is on my list and on my social networks. And thank you to all the readers who take the time to e-mail me. I read all my e-mails, every single one, and even though I cannot respond to them all, please know your stories, your comments, your criticisms, and your praise are all consumed with appreciation. I get to write because you continue to read my work . . . and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to keep telling stories!
