Highland Thief by Alyson McLayne

Acknowledgments

Well, we’re here…finally. Officially, Kerr is the last foster brother to find love and get his Happily Ever After, the conspiracy has been revealed, and peace has been restored to the Highlands. The series is over. Unofficially…we’ll see!

(I’m looking at you, Gregor MacLeod.)

I’d like to thank my editor, Christa Désir, for her insight into this particular story and her help in honing the various characters and story lines and bringing the manuscript together so perfectly. Much appreciation, Christa, for helping to make Highland Thief the best book possible. And to the design team, led by Dawn Adams, who have once again hit this cover out of the park. Big kisses to you all—I love it!

I also want to thank my previous editor, Cat Clyne, who discovered The Sons Of Gregor MacLeod in the Wattpad “slush pile” five years ago and offered me a contract for all five books. Thank you, Cat, for believing in me and in these stories, and for putting this series into the hands of readers. I’m sure my fans thank you, too!

As usual, much love and appreciation go out to my writing tribe, most importantly my fellow Mermaids—in particular Carol, Elizabeth, Jaycee, Kari, Layla, and Melonie. Thank you, ladies, for the chats, shared knowledge, and support. You da best!

And of course, to my family. It’s been a tough one. You all are rock stars, and I’m so glad that you’re the ones I get to isolate with—my happy little bubble.

Lastly, I want to thank my readers who so joyously embraced Gregor MacLeod, his foster sons, and the amazing women who brought these Highland lairds to their knees. Your enthusiasm and love for their stories fill my heart. I’d hug you all if I could.

It’s been a blast.
