The way I figured it, sometimes you had to take a lot of detours before you finally figured out what road would lead you home. And in my case, home was here, in freaking Swallow Springs, Missouri. Where the rooster still crowed all day and night and my past, present, and future waited for me in the middle of a spring-fed pond.

Acknowledgments
Huge thanks to everyone who had a hand in bringing this book to life. So many people have provided valuable feedback on this manuscript over the years. I don’t even want to try to name them all since I’m sure I’d miss someone. But special thanks go to my RWA chapter mates at From the Heart, my awesome agent Jessica Watterson, my critique group members and early readers (Cheryl, Liz, Marissa, Lynne, Laura, Jody, Paula, Joyce, Christine, Miguella, LeAnne, Dawn, Carrie) and my fellow Romance Chicks (Jody Holford, Christina Hovland & Renee Ann Miller.) And a big smooch to L.A. Mitchell—it almost did me in, but you were right about the twister.
As always, big hugs and kisses to my hubby and kiddos for their patience, support, and minimal pestering while I brought Robbie and Cassie to life. I love y’all more than chips and guacamole. XOXO
This book holds a special place in my heart since it’s based on a whitewashed farmhouse on a tiny tract of land in southwestern Missouri I used to visit in the summertime as a kid.
P.S. The clawfoot tub is still there.
About the Author
Dylann Crush writes contemporary romance with sizzle and sass. A romantic at heart, she loves her heroines spunky and her heroes super sexy. When she’s not dreaming up steamy storylines, she can be found sipping a margarita and searching for the best Tex-Mex food in the Upper Midwest.
Although she grew up in Texas, she currently lives in a suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul with her unflappable husband, three energetic kids, a clumsy Great Dane, a lovable rescue mutt and a fairly chill cat. She loves to connect with readers, other authors, and fans of tequila. You can find her at www.DylannCrush.com.
