Acknowledgments
Thank you so much, Jack and Lisset, for the hours spent with me teaching me about proper bodyguard procedure. You taught me so much and really added to the realism of the scenes. I can only apologize and acknowledge the creative license taken in the party scene and hope the rest meets with your approval. All mistakes are solely mine.
Thanks to Brian Feehan, for his dedication to detail, and for the hours spent discussing scenes even in the middle of the night when I couldn’t put it down. And, of course, thanks to Domini, who gave up a few weekends to help me meet the all-important deadlines. But mostly, thanks to my husband, who always, always , sees me through every book. You know what you
