She nibbled on her bottom lip and wondered if she should say something.
Nah, what were the odds? It was a silly little thing, and Carina would probably read it, get a laugh, and throw it away.

Acknowledgments
Since The Marriage Bargain hit the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, I have been overwhelmed by the amazing support of readers and my fellow writers. There are just too many to thank here, but every time I need a laugh, or to share a good or bad moment, you are there. Here’s the short list: Wendy S. Marcus, Aimee Carson, Megan Mulry, Janet Lane Walters, Liz Matis, Barbara T. Wallace, Abbi Wilder, and Julia Brooks. Shout-out to Tiffany Reisz for being my deadline buddy!
To the fabulous crew I met and celebrated with at RT and RWA 2012. All the Harlequin authors were amazing and fun and there are too many to name here personally! Special shout-out goes to Megan Mulry for drinking champagne with me when I discovered I hit the Times; Cat Schield and Barbara Longley for hanging with us at the gangster ball; Katee Roberts for her energy and humor; Caridad Pinerio for being so sweet at the book signing; and Catherine Bybee for talking shop. I can’t wait to do it again!
Finally, to the amazing Entangled crew who blow me away with their talent and efficiency, and my new Gallery Books team who welcomed me with open arms and amazed me with their skills—you rock!
