ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Massive thanks to the fabulous team at Bookouture without whose expertise, dedication and patience The Marriage Trap would never have made it onto paper. Huge thanks, too, to the cover designer. Bookouture covers are simply divine. I’ve totally adored all of mine. Special thanks to Helen Jenner for her faith in the book and loving it from outset. Without her amazing editing skills, I suspect I might have got a little lost along the way. Special thanks also to Kim Nash and Noelle Holten, the dynamic Bookouture Publicity Managers, for their hard work and unstinting support. You two are phenomenal. We would definitely be lost without you. To all the other super-supportive authors at Bookouture, I love you. Thanks for your ears when I needed them and the cheers every step of the way.
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the fantastically hardworking bloggers and reviewers who have taken time to read and review my books and shout them out to the world. Your passion simply leaves me in awe. I think all authors would agree we could not do this without you. Thank you!
Final thanks to every single reader out there for buying and reading my books. Authors write with you in mind. Knowing you have enjoyed our stories and care enough about our characters to want to share them with other readers is the best incentive ever for us to keep writing.
