       I’ll always be grateful to my wonderful editor, Kathryn Cheshire, for giving me this opportunity and for helping me bring Julian and Katrina into the world. Thanks for your guidance and support. You’re the best! And thank you to everyone at Mills & Boon Historical, especially Linda Fildew, Nic Caws, and Krista Oliver for all that you’ve done for me.

       Thanks Courtney Miller-Callihan, for having my back and for just being you.

       To the history bloggers and the people who answered my historical questions, thanks for making research fun.

       Lori V. and Lisa D., this book might not have been written if it weren’t for the two of you. Thanks for encouraging me to put this story to paper and for not running the other way when I asked you to read it—a number of times. I love you both!

      To Jen, Mia, Marnee, and Teri, thanks for riding this roller coaster with me and for being such great friends.

       Thanks, Mom, for teaching me that I could do anything if I put my mind to it. To my boys, you mean the world to me. Thanks for never complaining when deadlines have me ordering takeout for dinner. And thank you to my husband for always believing in me and for proving that love at first sight really is possible.

       Finally, thank you kind reader for picking up this book. I hope this story makes you smile, and you enjoy this brief armchair vacation in Regency-era London.
