Acknowledgments

As always, I have a lot of people to thank!

Firstly a big thank you to the wonderful people at Avon Books. My great editor May Chen. Her tireless assistant, Amanda Bergeron. The art department who designed this beautiful cover. Everyone in marketing, particularly Pamela Spengler-Jaffe and Christine Maddalena. I'd also like to thank the people at the Australian Avon office, including Shona Martyn, Linda Funnell, Karen-Maree Griffiths, Christine Farmer, and Jordan Weaver. And I'm adding a really heartfelt thank you to my agent, Nancy Yost.

There are two people to whom I owe more gratitude than I can express when it comes to this book. Thank you to Annie West and Christine Wells who are the best critique partners a writer could ask for.

Thank you to all my writing friends, particularly Helen Bianchin, Sophia Nash, Pamela Palmer, the fabulous Romance Bandits, Kandy Shepherd, Cathleen Ross, Nicola Cornick, Kathryn Smith, Keira Soleore, Louisa Cornell, Stephanie Laurens, and Lorraine Heath. Gratitude also goes to Michelle Buonfiglio, Kim Castillo, Marisa O'Neill, and Maria Lokken. You girls always brighten the day for me! Two fellow writers who deserve a special mention are Sharon Archer and Vanessa Barneveld.

I'd also like to thank the many readers who have contacted me to say how much you love the books. I can't express to you how much your wonderful messages mean to me.

About the Author

Always a voracious reader,
ANNA CAMPBELL
decided when she was a child that she wanted to be a writer. Once she discovered the wonderful world of romance novels, she knew exactly what she wanted to write. Her first historical romance for Avon Books was the multi-award-winning
Claiming the Courtesan
, followed by another Regency noir,
Untouched
, which was featured on several best of the year lists. When she's not writing passionate, intense stories featuring gorgeous Regency heroes and the women who are their destiny, Anna loves to travel, especially in the United Kingdom, and to listen to all kinds of music. She has settled near the sea on the east coast of Australia, where she's losing her battle with an overgrown subtropical garden. Anna loves to hear from her readers.
