Special thanks go to Lieutenant Vernon Gladney for
putting a gun in my hands. He said I couldn’t write
about an FBI agent without knowing what it feels
like to shoot the guns they use every day. He was right.
Knowledge is power. And guns … are still scary.
To Sally Grigg, the mistress of the Howard Creek Ranch
in Westport, California. Thank you for sharing your
knowledge of local flora and fauna and your delicious
cooking. I’m still pining for more of your fresh
mint tea and homemade biscuits. To “that guy” in Shelter
Cove who filled me in on the “Emerald Triangle” of the
northern California coast. Your candid comments were
priceless. Lastly, to John. My traveling partner, friend,
husband and lover. Every day you help remind me
why love is worth fighting for. Thank you.

Dear Reader,
Sometimes a story comes out of nowhere and the characters grab you by the throat, demanding that you put words to paper. That’s what happened with this book. Kara Thistle and Matthew Beauchamp materialised in my mind and wouldn’t let go. Theirs is a dark story, but the light of their love ultimately illuminates the path to happiness and joy.
This is my first M&B Intrigue novel, and I’m proud of the way it turned out, even if the writing of it was incredibly difficult. I shudder at the places I took my characters, but their strength helped me as well as them as they raced to save a child from a killer.
I hope you enjoy this roller coaster of a read as much as I enjoyed writing it. Hearing from readers is one of my greatest joys (aside from really good chocolate), so don’t be shy.

Happy Reading,
Kimberly Van Meter
