The Moonlight Mistress (29 page)

Ann, John and Judith made this book a thousand times better with their poolside critique of the opening chapters, and I cannot thank them enough for their insights at that crucial time. Thank you to my agent, Lori Perkins, who found my work a home at Spice Books. I’d also like to thank Susan Swinwood; my editor, Lara Hyde, for her swift, friendly and honest responses to whatever I needed; and all the staff at Harlequin Books who produced such a beautiful book. Finally, thanks to Diana for reading the revised manuscript and to Kat for the title.
