Love on a Summer Night (31 page)
Dean Foster has nearly two decades experience being calm, cool, and collected. His first gig in his new private security contractor role should be more of the same, but Nashville superstar Liana Hansen blows all that out of the water in one breathy hello.
Liana doesn’t want the straight-laced cop to shadow her everywhere she goes. Not if he insists on keeping his clothes on. Even worse, he stops her from sneaking out of every hotel they stay in on her concert tour.
With only a dozen stops left in the tour, one of them is going to have to bend. Or the other is going to wind up breaking something.

— ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS —
As all my books have been lately, I have to start by thanking my fellow writers in Chatzy, because not only did I plough through the first draft of this book in chat, but then I revised it significantly there as well. They got a
lot
of Zander and Faith. And especially the parts about Faith as a writer—she isn’t me, but she is an amalgam of the beautiful women that I have the joy to write with day in, day out. This book isn’t particularly autobiographical, I promise, except for maybe the online debates when Faith should have been writing. I recognize myself in that!
And since we’re talking about borrowed identities: to the lovely residents of the Bruce Peninsula, especially the very real town of Tobermory, I apologize for any liberties I took in manipulating the geography of your beautiful region to suit my story’s purposes.
Thanks also to:
The Wardham Ambassadors, my Facebook reader group, who helped by naming Rafe and Olivia’s daughter, pointing out a better name for Zander’s book, and just by asking for this book as soon as Ryan’s released. Really, thank you for that—writers never tire of hearing that you want more of their work.
Kristi Yanta, who did the first editorial pass on this book and thanks to her, the last quarter of this book is different and better. She saw Faith and Zander so clearly and pushed me to dig deeper where it counted. I’m so lucky to have her trusted eyes be the first to see Pine Harbour books.
Shelly Small and Dana Waganer for tightening my prose and catching the tiny mistakes.
Lynn, Elizabeth, Jaycee, Jessica, Marlene, Bev and a few other ARC readers who caught little inconsistencies here and there—I appreciate that you took the time to send me a note!
Lori, Pine Harbour’s biggest fan, for keeping track of the cast of secondary characters better than I can, and helping me with all of the admin tasks so I can focus on writing.
Lee Brice for all of his ballads, but particularly “I Don’t Dance” and “Stealing Innocence”.
And finally to my family, who are the most understanding and supportive crew a girl could ever want.
Thank you all.
Zoe
