M
y deepest gratitude to my literary agent and never-fail supporter,
Lissy Peace, of Lissy Peace and Associates. I pray every day that
your unswerving faith in my talent and passion for writing will continue to
reward you long beyond my life on earth.

For Linda Kay of Books Alive, you have become the greatest of all gifts
to me, a dear friend. Thank you for all your organization, advertising and
promotion of our very successful writing seminars over the past year. I look
forward with joy and anticipation to years of book signings, writing and
publishing seminars and planning author/agent conferences.

For Janet McCoy of Reader’s World, my long-time friend and bookseller
guru. How wise and wonderful God is that He moved me back to
Indiana and plunked me down only doors away from you. Keep watching
that back window for the candles that I light for you and your family.

For all my special friends, Dr. David Porter, Cheryl, Debbie, Mary Beth,
Gail, Vicki, Stacy, Laura, Suzanne, Shelley and Kristin for making me laugh
through my tears and sorrow. Thanks for the hugs and the encouragement.
You have all taught me that no one, not even me, is too old to learn an
entirely new world, which has been fascinating and fun to explore.

And for Jed Nolan, my loving husband who has shown me that courage
and unshakeable faith in the talent and gifts that God has deigned to grant
us, is the only choice for those who live in the arts. It is a difficult and
treacherous journey, but it is the ONLY journey and the ONLY life worth
living for us.

T
his love story is dedicated to my sweet, caring and supportive sister,
Nancy Lanigan Porter, who passed away on May 7, 2009. You were the
light in my lantern and the wind beneath the wings I used to fly to worlds
I didn’t know existed. I have never witnessed in real life or in fiction, the
enormous courage that you displayed during your war with cancer. I will
always feel privileged to have known you.

Nan, you were always there for me, unconditionally, totally. You are
more than missed. You were and are still needed in my life. I love you more
than all the words in the world.

Epilogue

“I
nfuriating man!” Shana groaned as three more urgent emails appeared
on her computer screen. All were from her new employer, Justin
Yates.

She banged three quick replies. “I answered all these questions yesterday.
Gees. Can’t this guy read?”

Shana had not yet met Justin in the four weeks she’d been working for
him, but she knew about his billionaire status and the fact that he’d recently
inherited the Lux Hotel Chain upon the death of his father, Peter Yates, who
was rumored to be a tyrant and bully to everyone he met. Shana was beginning
to fear that Justin might have inherited some of his father’s spurious
traits along with the hotels.

She no more than thought the worst of her boss, when another email
shot across her screen. She dropped her face into her hands and splayed
her fingers across her temple in an attempt to hold her temper at bay. “Now
he wants to cut the staff again? I’ve already trimmed the deadwood. Our
problem is that we need competent staff!”

She banged out her reply on the keyboard. “Two days ago I emailed
you precisely the reasons for hiring three managers and those respective
resumes. Did you receive that recommendation?”

She punched the “send” button and within seconds came his reply, “Did
not.”

Shana rolled her eyes and shook a fist at the screen. “You are such a
pain, Justin Yates.” She scrolled through her documents to find the file she
needed to re-attach to her email back to Justin.
