To my hubby, you are my world, and my inspiration. Thank you for allowing me to chase a dream and for making me believe I could catch it. To my editor, Rose Hilliard, and agent, Kim Lionetti—we make a pretty darn good team. Thank you to my assistants who keep me on track: Kathleen Adey and Shawnna Perigo. Thanks to my friends and writing buddies who are there for all the woes, whines, wows, and walks: Lori Wilde, Susan C. Muller, Jody Payne, and R. M. Brand. You guys are to me like Kylie and Miranda are to Della—vital to my well-being. Thank you all.
