ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tracey Alvarez lives in the Coolest Little Capital in the World (a.k.a Wellington, New Zealand) where she’s yet to be buried under her to-be-read book pile by Wellington’s infamous wind—her Kindle’s a lifesaver! Married to a wonderfully supportive IT guy, she has two teens who would love to be surgically linked to their electronic devices.
Fuelled by copious amounts of coffee, she’s the author of contemporary romantic fiction set predominantly in New Zealand. Small-towns, close communities, and families are a big part of the heart-warming stories she writes. Oh, and hot, down-to-earth heroes—Kiwi men, in other words.
When she’s not writing, thinking about writing, or procrastinating about writing, Tracey can be found reading sexy books of all romance genres, nibbling on smuggled chocolate bars, or bribing her kids to take over the housework.

Acknowledgements
Thanks to my friend and Mr. Spock CP who suggested after reading Hide Your Heart (which wasn’t originally planned as the first in a series), “Why not write Savannah’s story?”
Thanks to my son (who’ll probably never read this or any of my books, because, AWKWARD). I appreciated being able to drag enough Dungeons & Dragons details out of you to write about it. Any excuse I can use to talk to you is win-win.
Thanks to Juliet for insight into an actor’s world.
And lastly, thank you to all my amazing readers who not only support me by spending their hard-earned money on my stories, but write such sweet and encouraging e-mails. I so love hearing from you!

One Last Thing...
