  74. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
  75. What’s next onyour reading list?

To my brilliant editors Kerry Donovan and Cindy Hwang, thank you so much! The Runaway Heiress is so much better because of your insights and editorial questions and comments. I’d also like to thank the rest of the team at Jove/Penguin Random House, including Michelle Kasper and Mary Geren for catching the multitude of slipups that had snuck past me, and the design crew. A shout-out to Katie Anderson for her art direction and Jeff Miller for his design. They created such a gorgeous cover for The Runaway Heiress that it stopped my heart. And thank you to George Towne for the great interior design. I am grateful for the marketing and publicity expertise of Erin Galloway, Jin Yu, Jessica Brock, Stephanie Felty, and Fareeda Bullert, who sort out the battle plan to get eyes on my books. My thanks also to Iris McElroy and Leeza Watstein at PRH Audio for creating the wonderful audio recording of my books for those who prefer to experience the worlds I create through sound.

Special thanks to my agents, Kim Witherspoon and Jessica Mileo at InkWell Management, for your encouragement and help with this manuscript. When Mick started rolling out on the page, I was a little surprised, to say the least. And how the heck were my readers going to be able to follow a heroine who had three different names? I sent you the first pages, wondering if I should toss this unruly pair in the garbage heap or keep going. Luckily, you both voted for the latter, with a few helpful comments and tweaks. You gave me confidence, shored me up, and I am so glad, because I really, really, really love this book!

And last but not least, my love and thanks to my husband, Don, and my family and lifelong friends who fill my heart and day-to-day life with thanksgiving and joy.

Thank you, all!

Much love,

Meg xo

Maggie Harris had her cell phone jammed against her right ear, a finger stuffed in her left, but still, Brett’s voice was an indistinct murmur. “Sorry, honey. Could you please speak a little louder? It’s kind of noisy in here.”

That was an understatement. The club was packed with writhing, sweaty bodies undulating to the pounding pulse of the music, not to mention the shrieking laughter of her eight bridesmaids and assorted female family members and friends.
