This Weakness For You (Entangled Select Otherworld) (Taming the Pack) (30 page)

Acknowledgments

It seems odd to acknowledge a fictional character, let alone one of my own making, but this story wouldn’t exist if not for Jordan. I began writing this sequel before I’d completed its predecessor. He insisted. Thank you to all the readers who asked for Jordan’s story—letting me know it wasn’t just me he was tormenting. Some stories must be told.

Many years ago, it became a foregone conclusion with my doctors that I had MS. When one test came back negative, they ran another because it was the only single condition that accounted for my symptoms. I buried myself in studies of my assumed diagnosis and I lurked in support forums and talked with people with MS. In the end, I had several immune deficiency conditions contributing to my symptoms, but not MS. I have the utmost respect for those who do battle MS—you belong as heroines and heroes of stories. Thank you for inspiring me and for giving me support when I thought I’d be joining you.

The universe had it out for me with the timing of this book. Special thanks to my husband for hugging me when I fell apart; to my best friend, Stephanie Summers, for taking me out to lunch when I got all screechy; and to Jay Donavon, Amalia Dillin, Kait Nolan, Heidi Ludwig, Sarah Simonsen, and Jaime Dix for assuring me I wasn’t going mad when you knew I really was.

Twitter, you are my rock. Thank you. *lifts up lighter*

Thank you to everyone at Entangled for your support and brilliance—especially Lewis Pollak, Terese Ramin, and the other editors and staff who contributed to helping me get it right. You were patient with someone whose health and life intruded.

To my agent, Sarah Yake—onward!

Finally, my family and friends were wonderful during this. They tiptoed around me when I needed space and supported me when I wanted to scream. Thank you.

About the Author

Writing is in
Wendy’s
blood…which is also about thirty percent Mountain Dew and twenty percent chocolate brownies. Wendy has been telling tales since she was a child with varying amounts of success. Her parents clearly anticipated her forays into the paranormal because she heard “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” so many times she could have written the screenplay at age five. She lives with a wonderful husband and two quirky kids and is active in Autism and OCD support networks. She can usually be found on Twitter where she’ll talk to anyone who talks to her and occasionally just to herself.

Past My Defenses

Vanessa is the fastest Lycan around. In wolf form, the only threat she can’t outrun is her allergies. After a feline dander-bomb takes her down, she wakes up naked and in a cage, staring at a hot park ranger who had no idea what he’d trapped. When they learn that Lycans are being poached, and Vanessa is targeted, Dane will have to keep her close to protect her. But with Vanessa in heat and mad to mate, who will protect him?
