The Escape by Mary Balogh

To Melanie McKay

who bid upon and won the package I donated to the Charity Royale auction in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Proceeds went to My Aunt’s Place, a homeless shelter for women and children.

One item of the package was the right to have her name used as a character in my next book. Melanie asked that the name be her sister’s rather than her own.

My heroine in this book is, therefore, Samantha McKay (nee Saul).
