Acknowledgments

I am tremendously blessed by the people in my life—some of them family by blood, some of them family by choice, and some of them business partners I’m damned glad to have. Together, they keep me sane, focused, and energized to keep chasing this craft and profession I love so much.

For the Carina Press & Harlequin crew, especially Kerri Buckley, thank you for your time, your patience, and your enthusiastic support. Even through transitions and uncertainty, you’ve done everything possible to keep the runway smooth and comfortable. That means more than I can possibly convey in words.

Cori Deyoe, Lucy Beshara, Jennifer Mathews, Juliette Cross and Dena Garson—what in the ever-lovin’ world would I do without you guys? You’ve talked me off ledges more times than I can count and haven’t once let me catch you rolling your eyes. Thank you for being my trusted friends and mentors.

And I don’t dare let an opportunity pass without giving thanks for my beloved family. For my dad, my sister, my beautiful girls—Abegayle and Addison—and the love of my life, Joe Crivelli. My days wouldn’t be anywhere near as bright and vibrant without each of you in them.

About the Author

Rhenna Morgan is a happily-ever-after addict—hot men, smart women, and scorching chemistry required. A triple-A personality with a thing for lists, Rhenna’s a mom to two beautiful daughters who constantly keep her dancing, laughing and simply happy to be alive.

When she’s not neck deep in writing, she’s probably driving with the windows down and the music up loud, plotting her next hero and heroine’s adventure. (Though trolling online for man-candy inspiration on Pinterest comes in a close second.)

She’d love to share her antics and bizarre since of humor with you and get to know you a little better in the process. You can sign up for her newsletter and gain access to exclusive snippets, upcoming releases, fun giveaways, and social media outlets at www.rhennamorgan.com.

The good thing about public transportation was that it ran more reliably than Bonnie’s beat-up Ford Focus.

The bad thing?

New Orleans’s Transit Authority didn’t run on demand. Which was going to make for a slow getaway on her return trip home later this afternoon. Definitely not ideal when you were trying to escape the nightmare neighborhood you grew up in.

Bonnie leaned against the bus’s hard plastic seatback, crossed one jean-clad leg over the other and took a good gander at her fellow travelers. At mid-afternoon on a Monday, Line 80 didn’t have a ton of passengers, but the ones it did have looked like they all needed three solid days of nothing but sleep.
