  I would like to thank archaeologist Patrick Neary for teaching me the
  differences between Irish ring forts and Norman ring works, and for answering
  numerous questions about medieval Ireland. To MLFF, Tabbwriters, Fiona Lowe,
  Michelle Styles, Anna Campbell, Larissa Ione, Jillian Hart and Subcare at
  eHarlequin—I deeply appreciate your support during this journey. Special
  thanks to Allison Littlehales who helped me see the manuscript with fresh eyes
  and to my agent Carolyn Grayson for her patience. All of you helped me in many
  ways you didn’t realize.
  
  And most of all, thank you to my editor, Joanne, for seeing potential and for
  helping me to become a better writer.
