Acknowledgments

I don’t even know where to start with this one. First of all, I have to thank Sue Grimshaw and Gina Wachtel, who have been so, so, so good to me. Thank you so much for putting up with me through the course of this book. I know I was awful and I am so, so grateful for all of your help and support and understanding. I am so lucky to be writing for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you to everyone at Random House, including, Madeline Hopkins who did an amazing job with copy edits in a very short time, Penelope Haynes who puts up with my chronic lateness and takes such good care of my books, Matt Schwartz, Kimberley Cowser, and April Flores whose brilliant marketing strategies have done such wonderful things for me and my books. Thank you all. I am truly blessed to work with such a fantastic team.

Thank you to Emily Sylvan Kim, my agent and dear, dear friend. You keep me sane and I don’t know what I would do without your help and support!

Thank you to Emily McKay, Shellee Roberts, and Tera Lynn Childs for the brainstorming and the pep talks (and for kicking my butt when I need it). I might be able to write without you guys, but I certainly wouldn’t want to.

Thank you to Martin Torres, for the forest fire idea, and much more importantly, for your friendship and support. You make everything so much more fun and I adore you!

Thank you, Mom, for all your help wrangling my house and my children—and for always being there to listen. I love you!

And finally, thank you to all my guys for understanding my crazy schedule and loving me anyway. I love you so much and couldn’t do this without you.

The Editor’s Corner

July is a month of celebration—Independence Day is a holiday we remember with picnics, parades, and fireworks. I feel like celebrating this month’s Loveswept releases in the same way; they make me want to shout in jubilation to let the world know about all our fantastic summer reads.

Coinciding with the heat of the summer we begin with Shelley Ann Clark’s Loveswept debut, Have Mercy, where two damaged souls discover that when they’re together, their bodies hit all the right notes. Following that is USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy’s next installment in her successful Club Sin BDSM series, Desired, featuring the hotly anticipated Kyler. Continuing with the warmth of the season comes New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff’s long-awaited sequel in her Ethan Frost series, Addicted. Then more love on the lam with Juliet Rosetti’s The Sexiest Man Alive, continuing Mazie’s on-again-off-again relationship with certified hottie Ben Labeck. Jennifer Chance’s Fake It then sparks some serious combustion between a sexy biker and a corporate go-getter who’s ready to let her hair down. And finishing up the month is Lavinia Kent’s sumptuous novel of sensual discovery, Mastering the Marquess.

Classic Loveswept relaunches another of our favorites, A Tough Man to Tame, by New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen—the unforgettable story of a brilliant young woman and the sexy financial wizard with the power to make her dreams come true.

And ladies, don’t miss Flirt’s release of Awaken, book two in Lori Adams’s Soulkeepers series, featuring the hottest love triangle in this life—or the next.

See, I told you July deserves a great celebration!

~Happy Romance!
