Perfect Secret by Molly McLain

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I want to thank C.A. Harms for inviting me to participate in this incredible series! I had just announced that I was writing again after a couple of years away and being involved in the Mason Creek project has definitely helped me get back into the swing of things!

I want to thank the other Mason Creek authors, as well. Lauren Runow, A.M. Hargrove, Terri E. Laine, Jennifer Miller, Cary Hart, Bethany Lopez, Kaylee Ryan, Lacey Black, Fabiola Francisco, and A.D. Justice… You have all been a treat to work with, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know you all tremendously!

To Sarah Paige at Opium House Creatives… You nailed these covers and really helped us brand Mason Creek in the way it deserves. Thank you!

Much thanks to Ellie and Rosa at My Brother’s Editor for their editing and proofing magic.

To Trevor Brachtenbach for his bull rider expertise. I’m so glad I didn’t annoy the crap out of you, and I promise to give you more to do next time.

Huge thanks to Brittany Holland aka the Blurb Whisperer for her voodoo magic on my paltry blurb.

To Deb and Sandra for being my first Perfect Secret readers, and for giving me your ever-valuable feedback. Sandra, thank you for the ranch, cattle, and bull rider info, too!

To my bestie/sister wife Rhonda for always listening to my writing woes and for talking me off the ledge more often than I’d like to admit.

To my reader group, the Misfits. Your support along this journey means the world to me. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—you’re not just readers; you are friends, too.

Finally, to my husband and kiddos for your patience and love and support. We’ve come a long way and to think we’ve only just started again. I love you so, so much.
