When You Wish Upon a Duke by Charis Michaels

Every author should have an editor as gracious, eagle-eyed, and intuitive as Elle Keck. I’m so grateful for her collaboration on this book and her faith in me.

The Usual Suspects helped me brainstorm throughout the nine months of writing this book. My buddies Lenora Bell and Cheri Allan kept me hitting all the beats. My teenagers made North’s war stories truly heroic and pressed for Isobel to pose as North’s captive instead of his fake wife. When I’m in too deep, it’s such a gift to have outsiders swoop in and elicit an Aha-moment.

Finally, I’d like to thank Captain Ally of Island to Island Charters in Key West, Florida, for sharing with me her experiences camping across Iceland. The backdrop of this book was borne of that conversation.
