Tycoon Takedown (22 page)

Acknowledgments

I
am so grateful to everyone who was part of the process of creating
Tycoon Takedown.
Thank you to:

My very patient beta readers for reading multiple versions of the same chapters until I felt they were right.

Shannon Godwin, for helping me polish the story.

My Roadies, whose continued kindness and support often bring out my sloppily grateful and sometimes tearful side.

My readers, many of whom have come out to meet me at conferences. Meeting each of you is an incredible experience.

As always, thank you to my husband, Tony, who listens to the story so many times he dreams about the characters. I love you, hon.

And to my family, which supports me in this adventure and is the reason I do what I do every day. Love you!
