First and foremost, I’d like to thank my loyal readers—from Atlanta to Rio to Warsaw and everywhere in between—for making my job both meaningful and fun. Talking with you on Facebook and Twitter and meeting you on my book tours gets me through every painful bout of writer’s block and reminds me why I continue to tell stories. Thank you for reading them.
My eternal thanks to Jennifer Enderlin, my editor since this ride began. Thank you for everything, especially your thoughtful edits that always elevate my books (these were your best notes ever!).
Thank you to Stephen Lee, my publicist and dear friend. How far we’ve come together since that first signing at Borders when the manager pleaded for people to go listen to Emily Griffin on the second floor.
Thank you to so many others at St. Martin’s Press, especially Sally Richardson, Matthew Shear, and John Murphy. Thanks also to Jeff Dodes, Matt Baldacci, Jeanne-Marie Hudson, Paul Hochman, Nancy Trypuc, Anne Marie Tallberg, Sara Goodman, Katie Ginda, Bailey Usdin, Stephanie Davis, and the entire Broadway and Fifth Avenue sales forces. A big shout-out to Olga Grlic for her artistic talent—and the sublime peach pantone cocktail mixed for this cover.
