She threaded her fingers in his hair, transfixed by a wave of such happiness that her eyes misted with tears. “I suppose I’ll have to find new ways to surprise you over the next few decades.”
He moved over her, pressed his lips to hers again, and grinned. “I look forward to it.”
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As I mentioned in the dedication, this book would not have been possible without the fans who wanted a happily ever after for Ellery. But I also need to thank my editor, Nicole Fischer, for her insight and commitment to making the story shine. Getting through the editing process is a lot more fun when there are smiley faces and lols in the margins.
Many thanks go out to my agent, Stefanie Lieberman, for working her negotiating magic on this contract and making sure that even the side characters receive their happy endings.
To the baristas who only know me as the crazy cozy lady, thank you for enabling my chai addiction.
Writing this book has been another dream come true. Like many authors, I am an introvert who works best in solitude. Yet any worthwhile endeavor requires balance, and I am forever grateful for the warmth and support I receive from the outside world and from the strength I gain from my ever-present faith in God.
Thank you, all, for welcoming this story into your hearts.
