Protecting His Assets (21 page)

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, my husband and son always go above and beyond to accommodate my crazy schedule. Thank you both for feeding me occasionally and patting my head when I moan out loud.

I wish to thank my agent Courtney Miller-Callihan, who has become someone on whom I rely for her wisdom, advice, and guidance, even though I try not to bombard her with emails and insanity.

This book took many forms before arriving at the story it is today, but my amazing critique partners Christine, Kim, Paula, and Amy helped me – as they do with every book – to sharpen my focus and stay on track. For them I am always supremely grateful.

But as with every book, it is the editing that puts the pretty shine on a finished story, and Tracy Montoya’s insight was absolutely invaluable. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you do.
