I need to give a big, big thank-you to Massachusetts firefighter Tom Madigan. He proofread all my scenes having to do with Drake’s job and gave me some terrific suggestions. Did I mention he has a great sense of humor too?
And it wouldn’t be right to thank Tom without thanking Sherry Ingalls, the fan who loaned me her hottie fireman for research. Not that kind of research! Jeez, people. I have a husband for that.
And speaking of my husband, I am soooooo lucky to be married to my best friend, love of my life, Renaissance man, and sugar daddy. There’s nothing he can’t do—except write novels. We all owe him a big thank-you for letting me do the one thing I’m sort of good at.
And finally, I want to thank the people who looked at the bearable first draft and helped me make it better. Mia Marlowe, Aubrey Poole, Nicole Resciniti, and Virginia Ettel, and last but not least, my fabulous editor Leah Hultenschmidt.
