Last Guard (Psy-Changeling Trinity #5) by Nalini Singh







Acknowledgments



A very special thank-you to Hasna Saadani for reading a draft of this book and taking the time to provide honest and in-depth feedback. You are incredibly kind and generous, and Last Guard is a better book because of you.

My thanks also to Karen Lamming and Vladimir Samozvanov, for coming to my rescue once again on a Russian question.

Any errors are mine.
