There are many people who deserve recognition for their contributions. The following list is just the beginning.
Many thanks to:
Lori Foster for offering the Novella Contest and choosing my entry as a finalist. I appreciate your generosity and advice. You're a gem.
Morgan Leigh for liking my entry enough to pass it along to Lori and for being an all-around great gal.
Everyone who voted to make Stolen Pleasures the Reader's Choice winner. Thank you so much.
My agent, Evan Fogelman, who has to put up with me. Poor guy.
My mother, Tami Day, who introduced me to romance novels and is my greatest cheerleader.
My husband, Kevin, who always believed.
Samara, for being a friend as well as my sister. I love you.
Huge hugs go out to my critique partners Annette McCleave, Jordan Summers, Sasha White, and Celia Stuart, whose invaluable assistance and support helped me shape the stories within this book.
A giant heaping of undying gratitude to my fabulous editor, Kate Duffy. I can't say enough about her. She's been wonderful to me.
And last, but never least, to the hundreds of readers who visited my website, signed up for my mailing list, and clamored for my stories while I was still aspiring. Your faith in me pushed me forward. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
