This book is dedicated to:

Neil, my own Lord Rogue, the "third Earl of Bradford."
My husband. My hero. My heart.

A very special thanks to those individuals who have done
what they can to help my career:
Harry Helm, of Waldenbooks,
Ron Hickman of FEC News in West Palm Beach, Florida,
Cessalee Hensley of Bookstop Bookstores, Austin, Texas,
Ric Williams of ET Distributing, Houston, Texas,
Jenny Jones of The Book Shelf, Grand Prairie, Texas.

And as always to:
Rebecca George, Jill Hunter, Amanda Jay,
and Phoebe Stell
For always being there for me.

And for Shelley Darmon, who never lost faith
in Damien's and Bonnie's story,
though occasionally I did.
