Acknowledgments
I am so incredibly grateful to the people who’ve helped make this book a reality. My thanks to:
My editor, Megha Parekh, who saw exactly what the story needed to make it shine.
My agent, Mandy Hubbard, who championed me every step of the way.
My critique partners: Brighton Walsh, for holding my hand, sharing my room, fixing my furthers/farthers, and dragging me out of my sad little introvert corner time and time again. And Heather McGovern, for being a voice of sanity when the world was squishy, as well as the best enabler a girl could hope for.
The beautiful blogging ladies of Bad Girlz Write, for always raising a glass, and the amazing folks at Capital Region Romance Writers of America, for their constant guidance and support.
And my incredible husband, family, and friends, for accepting me and loving me for precisely the ball of crazy that I am.
chapter ONE
It was ridiculous, how pretty words sounded on Kate’s tongue. Right up until the moment she opened her mouth and spoke them aloud.
Worrying the strap of her bag between her forefinger and thumb, she gazed straight ahead at the woman behind the register, repeating the phrase over and over in her head. Un café au lait, s’il vous plaît. Coffee with milk, please. No problem. She had this. The person ahead of her in line stepped forward, and Kate nodded to herself, standing up taller. When her turn finally came, she grinned with her most confident smile.
