To my oldest, Scotty.
Congratulations on your high school graduation.
I don't know where the past eighteen years have gone.
but I loved every minute of watching you grow into
the fine young man you are today. God bless you
in all you do as you move on to the next phase,
work hard and success will follow.

To my husband, Scott,
and the rest of the gang, Alex, Kelsey and Leah.
You guys are the reason I work so hard.
Love you always and forever.

To my beautiful niece, Lily.
The smartest four-year-old I know.
I named the heroine in Critical Diagnosis after you.
I'll save a copy for you when you get a
little older. Sorry, there's no princess in this book,
but it's still a really good story. I promise.
To Rachel Dylan,
a fellow Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense author,
who read an earlier version of this book and gave
me some wonderful insight that made this
final version so much better. Thank you.
