I would like to say thanks to so many people who made this novel

possible. First I would like to thank the woman who encouraged me to

write again. I wrote a story before, got mixed reviews, and like so many

other things that don’t come easily to me, I gave up. It was with gentle

encouragement that I gave writing another shot. Thank you, Jill, for

believing in me. You have no idea what that means to me.

Jill wasn’t all alone in her cheerleading. She had help from a lovely

woman named Nancy. Nancy looked over every chapter, giving

encouragement and kind words along the way. So thank you Nancy;

don’t think that your kindness goes unappreciated.

I also need to thank a woman who allowed me to corrupt her

sensibilities and broaden her views of romance. Jan, I want to thank

you for editing, laughing, and cheering me on all the way. Your support

means a lot to me.

Of course I have to acknowledge my friends and family as without

them, I would not have the stories to write or the strength to share

them. My poor friends have to put up with my airheadedness as I drift

from plot to plot creating characters out of scraps of inspiration that

seem to pop out of nowhere.

But most of all, I give my thanks to my husband. Cameron, you are my

best friend, my lover, and my heart. I thank you for supporting me, my

crazy dream to write stories and for so many things that I can’t even

begin to list here. Please always remember that you are everything to

me and more.

G OD , I hated filling these things out. They were all the same. “Tell

us about yourself; be honest.” I felt like I couldn’t be honest,

because if I were, this line, the hobby line, would be left blank.

Perpetually blank. I could tell you what I used to like to do, before

med school and then the hospital took all of my time. I could tell you

what I would like to do again one day. As for now, I couldn’t

exactly put sleep as a hobby, now could I? That was, in fact, all I did

in my spare time. I slept. Sometimes, I slept for daysor so it

seemed. I also went to the gym, but that was not a hobby, it was a

necessity. Of late, it was the only way to take my mind off work and

the patients I failed. Fuck it. I’d just list my old hobbies and see who

was interested. I listed reading, hiking, and kayaking in my

“hobbies” line.
