Acknowledgments
Thank you so much to everyone at Kensington,
especially Alicia Condon, for being the amazing editor that she is.
I depend on your insight and magic. And to Jessica Faust, agent
extraordinaire, you do so much and are always there. To KC Klein,
Nora Needham, and Tes Hilaire, for standing by me, and, oh yeah,
excellent critiques. To Brian Anderson, for his expert information
on all things tactical and for demonstrating on my husband. Any
mistakes are mine. To my bedrock, my friends and family, who buy my
books, sometimes in quantity. To Mom, who passed them out to anyone
who would take them. And to Celia, Big C, Cornelia, aka Super
Beta—hugs and love for everything.
