For Dad, who put up with an awful lot of strangeness
from the author

I
N JANUARY 2009, WE
had a huge ice storm in Kentucky. I spent a week camping out in my in-laws’ living room, in front of their fireplace, with two children under the age of five.

It was a looooong week.

Fortunately, I used being trapped by frigid, icy weather, in the dark, to get in the right frame of mind to write twenty (longhand) pages of a werewolf romance set in Alaska. That eventually became
How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf.
And one year later, just as I started writing this manuscript, it started snowing heavily.

My first thought: if I have to sleep in someone else’s living room again, one of us isn’t getting out alive. Although it snowed for two days the power stayed on, giving me time to get back to that cold, claustrophobic place. So thank you to my husband,
David, for keeping me supplied with hot cocoa, mini-marshmallows, and sanity.

I feel the need to thank some of the important gals in my life, including agent extraordinaire Stephany Evans; the ever-patient Jennifer Heddle; and super-publicist Ayelet Gruensphect. Thanks go to my niece Carrington, whose unprecedented hair inspired Baby Eva. And to her mother, Manda, who lovingly accepts my inability to operate voice mail. To my sister-inlaw, Cassie, the level-headed Mo to my loud, occasionally vulgar Maggie: It’s not easy being the nice one. And to Brandi and Caroline, who might as well be my sisters, for all that they’ve seen, heard, and dutifully ignored. To Darcy, the best miniature publicist a mom could ask for. And to my mom—yes, I ended up with a little girl just like me. Please, stop laughing.
