Deepest gratitude to David Hale Smith, Richard Pine, Alexis Hurley, everyone at Inkwell Management, and to my West Coast fighters, Angela Cheng Caplan and Joel VanderKloot. You’re an extraordinary team, and I’m blessed to have you behind my books.

The folks at Thomas & Mercer and Amazon Publishing—Alan Turkus, Daphne Durham, Jeff Belle, Kristi Coulter, Danielle Marshall, Gracie Doyle, Andy Bartlett, Sarah Tomashek, Reema Al-Zaben, Philip Patrick, Tiffany Pokorny, Nick Loeffler, and Jodi Warshaw—are as fearless a group as I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I’m thrilled to be on this ride with you.

Thanks to Jacque Ben-Zekry, who edited the hell out of this book and stopped it from sucking in a thousand different ways.

And to Michelle Hope Anderson for a terrific copyedit.

Ann Voss Peterson, Joe Konrath, Marcus Sakey, and Jordan Crouch offered superb feedback and helped me to take this book to another level.

And lastly—most importantly—thank you to my beautiful, wonderful family.
