of this one to you. Thanks for always being there. I love
you bunches. To the careers!
To the Medical Corps, led by Stephanie. You’ll never know how much you, Dave, Jodi, Gabe, Keith, and even crazy Lee have meant to me. Just hanging out with you guys gives me strength! Mario Party next week?
To my dancing ladies who’ve never forgotten me.
This is to Shell, Jenn, and Krysti! May we all wiggle in the same space soon.
And to my special ops team. Without these ladies?
There is no book. Frances Black and Jennifer Mishler, my kick-ass agents, and Leah Hultenschmidt, the bestest editor ever. You guys make me want to be a better writer. I can’t tell you how much I value your opinions.
I live in fear of disappointing any of you, and I hope that you’ll allow me to continue bringing smiles, entertain-ment, and spicy scenes into your lives! Thanks for all your wonderfulness!

About the Author Gina Lamm loves geekery, but don’t let that fool you.
She’s also an overly dramatic theatre rat with a penchant for reading scary books too late at night. She belly dances too much, tweets too often, and lives her life with a passion that could be considered foolish. She’s addicted to stories and loves nothing more than penning funny, emotional tales of love, lust, and entertaining mishaps.
Married to a real—
life superhero, she lives with her beloved family in rural North Carolina, surrounded by tobacco farms, possums, and the occasional hurricane.
When not writing, you can usually find her fishing or playing World of Warcraft. Badly. Visit her online at www.
ginalamm.net anytime.
