ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thus ends my first duology. I am so grateful to those who have stuck with me through thick and thin, supporting me in this amazing career, helping me refine and polish one story after another. I am forever and always indebted to each of you.
Many thanks to Jordan, who is my rock. I had quite a stumble in 2019 when drafting this book, and he was there to hold my hand through all of it, always making sure I had what I needed to get back on my feet. I could not accomplish half of what I do without him.
Thank you to Tricia, Rebecca, and Leah for reading through my rough draft and helping me get that first round of edits done. Your input was golden, and I’m very grateful for the time you spend on my projects!
Many thanks to my editor Adrienne, who adopted me and took this series under her wing. And to Angela, who has edited with great finesse and farseeing almost every single book I’ve published. Thank you to Marlene, my agent, for digging up opportunities and defending me on the battlefield. It took fourteen books, but I finally got you on that dedication page!
And again, thank you to my Father in Heaven, who guides me in fiction as well as in real life. I recognize I am very blessed to be able to do what I do and have others read what I write, and that blessing comes straight from Him.
