While this is the end of Gavin and Corabelle’s story, you will see them again (and witness their wedding!) in Tina’s book —
Forever Sheltered
.
Tina may think she will never trust another man enough to fall in love, but she didn’t count on Dr. Darion Marks, a pediatric oncologist whose emotionally demanding job and personal tragedies have forced him to avoid romantic entanglements. Their relationship turns explosive when Tina learns the secret Darion is keeping from the hospital staff, proving that love can heal even the most shattered hearts.

I have promised my daughter Elizabeth that I will write
Elektra Chaos
next, so I will get it out this spring. It’s the final segment of
my series for 8-12 year olds
featuring children facing challenges. Elizabeth has epilepsy caused by brain damage when her twin sister died while I was pregnant. This will be the story that she wants me to tell. She is on the cover.
Love to all of you,
Deanna

Acknowledgements
A huge thanks to the nurses and patients I talked to who dealt with pneumonia in all its varied states. You kept me straight on how this illness can go — especially
Audrey Coulthurst., Andrea Felsinger, Lynn Kennedy, and my family nurse Aunt Kay
.
A huge shout out to my friends
Valerie Garcia and Irma Kramer
for helping me figure out what a three-year-old from Tijuana would call a lollipop, among other informal Spanish phrases (notably *not* the curse words — the help on that asked to be anonymous!) Google failed me on those things, and my college Spanish textbooks weren’t exactly helpful.
I wish I could travel around the world to kiss the people of
NAS Photography
for digging up all the outtakes from their shoot with the models who were on the cover of
Forever Innocent
. Your work is unbelievable. It was a joy to find a never-before-seen image (SHHHH that I bought a third one — no one can know what it is for!)
I want to give a very special thanks to my little beta group who could have hired an assassin and taken me out before I ever got a chance to write such a controversial story line for a pair of characters that readers insisted should get their star-spangled happily ever after. They knew back in October what I was planning to do with Rosa’s son, and after the initial shock wore off, they were supportive and helpful as I tried to make sure the story was as tight as possible —
Chrissie Room, Meagan Henning, Kristin Hinshaw, Kayla Ann Yow, and Kristin Warner-Longoria
.
Last-minute beta readers
Jammie Cook and Kristin Hinshaw
saved the book from having another cliffhanger. I apparently don’t get the concept! You can thank them for the epilogue, as well as Mimi Strong, who literally talked me down FROM the cliff after I realized I had done it again and didn’t know what to do to make the book end more neatly.
Several people were instrumental in the phenomenal success of
Forever Innocent
: Mimi Strong, HM Ward, Kelly Walker, and Aestas. Early mentions of the book to YOUR fans made all the difference. I am grateful.
