Acknowledgements

I would like to express my gratitude to author Lynne Connolly for her help with early Regency period clothing, social mores, titles, and for letting me know it sounds really American to use the word “gotten.” Thanks, Lynne, for helping a Southern Belle bring British characters to life!

And to my friend, co-conspirator in plotting and fellow author Naima Simone. Thanks for being my sounding board and for catching all those little spots where I left out words because my fingers were flying too fast. (We did have the best table at the Reader’s Luncheon!)
