Crouching Tiger, Forbidden Vampire (Love at Stake) (27 page)
Back when Roman Draganesti lost his fang in
How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire,
I had no idea I had tapped into a world that would last for sixteen books. My heartfelt gratitude goes to all the Love at Stake readers who made the series such a success. Thank you for your notes and e-mails, which give me encouragement. You help me continue to write with joy.
With the end of Russell’s story, I’ll be bringing the series to a close, a temporary one, perhaps, since I still have a few plans. But right now, I have other ideas calling me, ideas that are demanding to be brought to life. I hope you will join me on some new adventures!
I also wish to thank my agent, Michelle Grajkowski of Three Seas, who always gives me joyful support and encouragement. Many thanks to everyone at HarperCollins/Avon Books—my editor, Erika Tsang, who has been with me since book one; her assistant, Chelsey; the publicity experts, Jessie, Caro, and Pam; and the art director, Tom, who has created the most exquisite covers.
My critique partners, M.J., Sandy, and Vicky, have also been with me since book one. I don’t know how I would have survived the writing of sixteen books without them! Over the years, they have become my best friends, and I am ever thankful for their loyalty, kindness, and compassion.
I am also grateful for my children and my husband. They have always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. They are my rock, my shelter, my joy, and my peace. And finally, since I write about love, I cannot forget to thank the source of love, our Heavenly Father. In my attempts to spread joy and hope and reinforce the value of love, I have felt truly blessed. Thank you all for allowing me to be part of your lives.
