Acknowledgments

Thank you to my agent, Holly Root, and my editor, Junessa Viloria, for believing in these stories and working with me to make them better. Thanks also go out to Sandy Blair, Christine Craig, Della Halvorson, Tammy Hinsche, Colleen Moberg, and Brad and Lisa Wik, who answered questions on so many different topics, some of which never even made it into the book. The information I did use may have been tweaked a little to suit the purposes of the story, so any errors are mine and mine alone. Thanks also to Oz for the plethora of
Star Wars
quotes, and to my physiotherapist, Kim, who was ruthless in the way he beat the tendonitis out of my arm so I could type again. Nice guy, but if I never have to see him again, I’m okay with that. :o)

I’d never be able to do any of this without the support of my family, so thank you, Ron, Thomas, Michael, and John, for never complaining about how many times I make KD or frozen pizza for dinner.

And finally, huge thanks to you, the readers. It’s humbling to know you’ve given some of your precious reading time over to my books and I hope each of you knows how much it’s appreciated.

Prima Donna

Laura Drewry had been scribbling things for years before she decided to seriously sit down and write. After spending eight years in the Canadian north, Laura now lives back home in southwestern British Columbia with her husband, three sons, a turtle named Sheldon, and an extremely energetic German shepherd. She loves old tattered books, good movies, country music, and the New York Yankees.

The Editor’s Corner

September 23, 2014 is the first day of Autumn, and there is nothing like cool weather to encourage us to curl up and read a good book—that we need any additional encouragement, right? Here are some great Loveswept book ideas to help you fall into the new season.

USA Today
bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly’s new Dare to Love series debuts with
Truth or Dare,
a fabulous contemporary romance that fans of Jill Shalvis will adore. Laura Drewry returns this month as well with the witty and tender romance
Prima Donna,
featuring a sexy love-shy doctor. Debut author Claudia Connor introduces the McKinney brothers in
Worth the Fall,
where readers meet widowed mother Abby and Navy SEAL Matt, both seeking forgiveness and looking for a way to start over. A book I’m sure readers will devour is
Control
by Laura Marie Altom—runaway Ella escapes an abusive marriage, dot.com billionaire Liam is used to having control, and together they are explosive. Coinciding with the World Series, Katie Rose gives us The Boys of Summer with
Bring on the Heat,
introducing Chase and Darcy, (or is it Lydia?) in this mistaken identity love affair. And if the weather gets a little too cool, heat it up with
Longing
by Jamie K. Schmidt, a lighter take on erotic romance, but don’t be fooled, Anya and Clint are hot!

Lastly, don’t miss the newest Flirt title: Lauren Layne’s
Broken.
The second book in her Redemption series, tells the story of a girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them…or destroy them.

I hope you don’t miss these stories that will warm your heart and make you blush a little, too! And share your favorites with friends—we all need a little cuddle up time with a good book. Until next time….

~Happy Romance!
