Thank you to the other members of the Knight Agency for your kindness and friendliness; it’s wonderful to be able to say that I’m represented by your agency.
Ronan, editor extraordinaire, working with you has been a dream. You saw the potential in this story and fought to bring it to light. You helped me transform the manuscript and were the best coach, mentor, and supporter I could have asked for. Thank you for making me fearless about improving my craft and giving me tools to aid in that process.
I also need to extend my thanks and appreciation to the staff at Carina, from the editors who championed this book from its initial acquisition, to the copy editors, marketing specialists, formatters, and everyone I’ve been fortunate enough to talk to throughout the process. It’s a true pleasure to be one of your authors.
To Kari, my blessed CP. We’ve made it. Thank you for sticking with me through one of my roughest years. No words will ever be adequate enough to explain how much you and your friendship mean to me. Here’s to future conferences, stories, and Alaskan vacations!
To the Five and the Nifties, who help me rise to each new challenge. Sharing articles and pictures, hearing about your goals, and knowing I’ll find you again at an RWA conference is exactly what I need in my life. You are stars I always look up to.
To Tina, who has been in my corner throughout this work. Sitting poolside with you and working through sticking points is one of my favorite moments from San Diego.
To Kathryn, for being passionate about stories and their characters. It’s been a joy to share in your excitement and willingness to read through multiple drafts of this beast. Thanks for staying with me to the end.
To Kelsey, aka Hootsweets. Discovering your art was one of the best things to happen to me and the sole reason I joined Tumblr in the first place. Thank you for taking on random art requests and bringing Roark and Finny to life.
To Kristin and Simon. You are the ultimate squad. I have a tattoo to prove it.
To Cheri, Laura, Kathy, and Holly—even when I was too exhausted to seek you out, your friendship never wavered. I’m grateful for that gift.
To Kris and Emily, whose excitement and openness has made our group messages such a joy. I wish we lived closer together so I could sit down for coffee with you and thank you in person for all your support and joy.
My deepest apologies for not mentioning everyone else who has helped me by name. If I did, these acknowledgments would be longer than the book, but please know your influence has not been forgotten or unappreciated.
Lastly, to my readers. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love hearing from you and can’t wait to talk to you about Roark and Finny and all that’s to come.
About the Author
M.A. Grant has always loved reading and writing, but fell in love with the romance genre when she started working at an independent bookstore in high school. After meeting her husband in college, they began a steady northward migration and are now happily living in the rugged beauty of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. When she’s not calling out to passing ravens or making a cup of tea, she’s writing dark and moving stories.
