  # Acknowledgments
  
  
  Thank you to everyone who helped me create this story.
  
  
  Beta readers Janett Gomez, Chantal Gemperle and Chelle Northcutt gave me
  valuable feedback and support when I needed it most. Stephanie Reid helped me
  with plotting when I was lost. Editor Sue Grimshaw helped me plan and execute
  _Hooked_ from the ground up. I’m so grateful for their unfailing support and
  enthusiasm.
  
  
  Behind the scenes, my publicist, Jessica Estep, and my assistant, Pam Million,
  are invaluable. Pam Carrion keeps the momentum high in my Facebook reader
  group, Rothert’s Readers.
  
  
  I also want to thank my readers for encouraging me to return to hockey
  romance. Thanks for believing in me, guys. It means so much.
  
  
  Biggest thanks to my husband for coming to the rescue when my deadline was
  looming and helping with all the other things in our household so I could get
  this book done. And of course, my three boys, who I love to the moon and back.
