Acknowledgments

As always, thanks to Rose, Emily, Mark, and Colette.

I’d also like to thank my brother, Ed, and his wife, Linda, for the many times I’ve spent enjoying their lovely home on the lake. Thanks for the boat rides, swimming, barbecues, and long summer evenings spent in great company in a beautiful setting. The cottages in this book aren’t real, but I was inspired by the delightful area where you live.

Also, thanks to Leeann Burke and Reece Butler, whose generosity enabled me to attend the New Jersey Romance Writers conference and receive a wonderful award. (The Golden Leaf for Forbidden Heat in the Single Title category.)
