To my assistant, Melissa, thank you for everything you do for me. You’re not only my assistant but a great friend, even if you do “meh” me every now and then.

To my Laura, Lisa, Allison, and Kara, thank you for helping me shape this book into what it is. Even if your “team” didn’t win, you will get your happily ever after in the novella.

I also have to thank my editor, Chelsea, for keeping me away from clichés. My formatter, Kassi, for always making the pages pretty. Regina for giving me a cover that I love. And my agent, Jill Marsal, for supporting me along the way.

And last but not least, the bloggers and readers who have been with me over the last couple years … you helped make my dreams come true. THANK YOU!
