Acknowledgments

T
he
Temptation Saga
is very special to me, and I’m grateful to Waterhouse Press for acquiring it and taking it to this new level. Formerly my
Bakersville Saga
, this series has had several incarnations, and the first four books in the series are award winners and/or finalists.

Tempting Dusty
(formerly Ivy League Cowboy) is especially important to me, not only because it’s the first book in the series and the most decorated—most notably winning the RomCon Readers’ Crown Award in 2012—but also because the two main characters are named after the first two dogs I had as an adult. Dusty was a golden retriever, and Zach was half German Shepherd and half Husky…and yes, he had black hair and one brown eye and one blue eye!

So many people helped along the way in bringing this book to you. Celina Summers, Michele Hamner Moore, Jenny Rarden, Coreen Montagna, Kelly Shorten, David Grishman, Meredith Wild, Jonathan Mac, Kurt Vachon, Yvonne Ellis, Shayla Fereshetian—thank you all for your expertise and guidance.

And thanks most of all to you, the readers. I hope you love Zach and Dusty’s story. Up next is Zach’s brother Dallas, who meets his match in a feisty veterinarian from New Jersey. Don’t miss
Teasing Annie
