To Christa Cervone who coined the phrase “cunny quake.” I knew instantly it was a Fritz-ism.
To Josh Williams, Parker Hurley, Ally Sturm, and Jeremy Austin: thank you for giving me not only one, but two gorgeous covers for this series.
To my editor, Liz Pelletier, who stayed up with me for several all-nighters in a row to make sure we had this book as perfect as we could get it, and for helping me love the story again.
To Kara Wiesmann and Courtenay Birchmeier of SunTree Accessories for designing and creating Vanessa’s Necklace as a continuation to the Fighting for Love jewelry tradition.
And last, but certainly not least, everyone who has ever said an encouraging, supportive word to me about my books, my characters, or my accomplishments. I take them all to heart. Thank you.
