ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First, I want to thank all the readers who loved the world of ICE, and wanted more just as much as I wanted to write more. I couldn’t leave Finn MacGowan stuck in the wilds of South America.

And I want to than my intrepid proof-readers: my goddaughter, Heather Schmidt, who gave me excellent insight, and my ninety-seven year old mother, who caught all my typos during my nasty love scenes and thought there were a few too many “fucks.” She didn’t know “crushing on” and “having a jones for” but she caught all sorts of other stuff, thank heavens. I couldn’t have done it without either of them.

And as always thanks to my wonderful agents, Jane Dystel and Miriam Goderich, who perform miracles.
