“Good, because I think we should stay out here for a long time.” Will was smiling.

He pressed his lips to hers as the butterflies flittered around them.

Life was good on the bayou.

Special thanks to my agent, Kevan Lyon. I love working with you and look forward to many more books. Thanks to my editor, Kate Seaver, for seeing how much fun we could have on the bayou. A shout-out to the Berkley publicity team, Fareeda Bullert and Jessica Brock. Much love to my publicist, Jenn Watson, and the whole Social Butterfly team, as well as my social media guru, Jillian Stein. I would like to acknowledge the great work my beta readers do. Stormy Pate and Riane Holt always keep it real for me. Liz Berry manages to ensure I don’t go crazy. Kori Smith and Sara Buell—if I got anything right with the medical aspects of this book, it’s because of you!
