As always, I appreciate the people who read early versions of this story and helped kick me into gear when I was staring at a blank page.

I’d like to thank my agent Jane Dystel at Dystel & Goderich Literary Agency, who believed in this series and helped me every step of the way. Thanks to my content editor Tiffany and my Amazon representative JoVon for making the story everything it could be. And I could never forget my boyfriend, Joel, who deals with my manic behavior without complaint while I’m writing and helps with our adorable puppies, Riker and Lucy.
