Note: I fudged the timing in regards to the hockey team’s holiday schedule. Most Division I teams play through December and January, but I wanted Dean to have a longer stretch of time off, so I cheated with the timing of it. But I loved every second that Dean and Allie spent together in New York. So…I regret nothing! Nothing, I tell ya!
As always, I want to thank my early readers/cheerleaders/besties for helping me whip this book into shape: Viv, Jen, Sarina, Katy, Monica, Nicole, and Sophie. I love you guys.
On the business end, I couldn’t survive without Nic and Natasha （friends and assistants extraordinaire!） Gwen （don’t ever leave me!）， Sharon （we still need to plan the wedding） and the person who keeps me sane: Nina Bocci.
Special thanks to Sarah Hansen （Okay Creations） for the gorgeous cover.
To all the bloggers and reviewers who helped with cover reveals, posted reviews, and pretty much talked up the series to anyone who would listen—you are rock stars. Rock. Stars.
And to all my readers—you have no idea how honored I am that you continue to support/love/gush over this series. You guys are awesomesauce to the degree of amazeballs!
