To all my friends.
I write because I love writing. But there are times when your encouragement and enthusiasm makes it all worthwhile, when it helps me through moments of doubt and insecurity, through bad patches and difficult times.
So THANK YOU. All of you who are reading these words right now, because you are on this journey with me and honestly, I don’t think I’d have made it this far without you. You are all amazing and I hope you know it.
I do want to thank a few people especially for their constant support, help and friendship. So here goes:
My gratitude to Cheryl Jarvis for checking the timeline and plot for inconsistencies, and for insisting that the chapters should have the names of sweets as titles. Many thanks for all the great discussions and for lending me your brilliant mind!
A huge shout-out to the amazing readers who went through the book and caught errors and typos: Cassie May, Nico Maeckelberghe, Jane Wheatley, Brandy Freeman, Maxine McCormick and Hillary Becker – the latter for also explaining medical terms and truths to me. I understood some of it. Any remaining errors are on me, not her.
Lots of love to my great author and reader friends Jade West, Kia Zi Shiru, Sam Destiny, Lisa Anderson, Vicki Pearce, Alison Foster, Emma Johnston, JA Beard, Maria MacDonald, Leah Joslin, Pati Graves, Eric Battershell, Diana Dimitrova, Annete Kuhrig, Kat Boston-Steines, Stephanie Witter, Misti Murphy, KA Hobbs, and JC Andrijeski.
Special thanks go to my awesome PA Tracy Smith Comerford for all her support and insights.
Lots of love for my awesome Street team with my love and thanks to Kerry Fletcher, Emma Johnston, Michelle McGinty, and Lainey Da Silva, as well as to everyone else who helps me with promotion.
As always, my gratitude to my amazing editor, and like always, any remaining errors are my fault.
A big thank you to my formatter, 5 Times Chaos.
My gratitude to my cover artist, RBA Designs | Romantic Book Affairs (http://www.rbadesigns.com/) for the amazing cover. Thank you, Letitia, for all your patience and the great designs!
If I forgot to mention someone, please forgive me. I am grateful to every single person who has read my books, who has messaged me and supported me on this journey.
