What my nation has asked of its military service members and their families is monumental andwe need to reach out to them every chance we get to make sure they know we appreciate theirsacrifices and are willing to help in any way we can. God bless you all. And, Sue, thanks for sharingyour son with me—and for keeping his memory alive on Facebook and elsewhere so we will neverforget his sacrifice, and yours.Also, to my Dad, who suffered most of this adult life with PTSD from the horrors of his servicein Korea. He's in heaven now, his battle over, but he'll always be in my heart and is the inspiration forthe character of Damián Orlando. Love and miss you, Dad.And to all my fellow survivors of incest and child sexual abuse—it wasn't your fault. I hope byreading about Savannah's journey and courage you will see there is no one so wounded she or he can'tfind a happy ending, too. Believe me, if we can, so can you. Judging from the numbers of you whohave shared your pain (sometimes for the first time), through private messages and e-mails, know thatyou are not alone. Big virtual hugs to you all!AcknowledgementsTo the awesome beta readers who were tortured for months not knowing how the book wouldend (and were often left needing Xanax or serious aftercare after reading a particularly challengingchapter cliffhanger and not getting more of the story for days or months). They are Khriste Close, KrisHarris, Kathy Holtsclaw, Kellie Hunter, Pix.E.Lee, Kelly Mueller, Ekatarina Sayanova, and KathyTreadway.To Toymaker and his sub, eirocawakening (their FetLife names) for helping me map out theBDSM scenes for the book and then helping me get inside the heads of Damián and Savannah to takethem even deeper into the scene. Knowing at least one scene even brought rare tears to the eyes of aDom? Priceless.To Jennifer P. Ekatarina Sayanova, and Jacy Mackin for helping me understand thepsychological aspects of Damián and Savi's relationship and for advice on how this lifestyle mighthelp them gain control over their PTSD triggers.To Kathy Holtsclaw, Kellie Hunter, Ofelia Romero, eirocawakening (FetLife), and EkatarinaSayanova, who helped me understand Savi's triggers and the ways to help her overcome them.To Top Griz, who always helps me get my Marine sayings I ask about correct, and even wentbeyond regs to help with some righteous retribution for Savi. After reading this, I'll bet you'll see FragOrders in a whole new light. Thank you, sir.To Kelly Timm and her mother-in-law, who helped me get the factual parts of Solana Beach andRancho Santa Fe correct. (Please note that San Miguel's, Savi's childhood mansion, and many otheraspects of these communities are completely figments of my imagination.)To my Facebook friends and fans who chimed in on countless questions I asked on my FacebookAuthor Page and Facebook personal timeline, you always are there to help me out when I just don'thave one more brain cell left! With more than 2,700 Facebook friends, plus the author page followers,there are way too many to name here without leaving some out, but thanks for joining me on thisamazing journey and for helping me whenever I got stuck on something.To Kathy Holtsclaw for inspiration and suggestions. It was so nice to meet you in Denver thispast summer.To Rosie Moewe for keeping track of my series timeline and researching topics for me.To the Kallypso's Street Brats who continue to pimp my books to anyone who will listen, andeven some who'd probably rather not know about your reading preferences. My career took off as aresult of incredible word of mouth and you continue to bring the Rescue Me series and the membersof the Masters at Arms Club to the attention of new readers every day.To my editorial staff, both paid and volunteer (but all professional)—Liz, Borino, Jacy Mackin,Ekatarina Sayanova, and last, but not least, Jeri Smith who has cheered me on and helped bring outthe best book I have in me since the very first one in this series—thanks for helping me make this whatI hope will be my "cleanest" first edition ever.Of course, it's those things I change after my editorial staff and subject experts sign off on themthat usually lead to the need for later corrected versions, so, as always, all typos and errors are solelymy responsibility, but just know that the all of the above-mentioned people have prevented muchembarrassment for me—and much frustration for you.And to my awesome personal assistant, Leagh Christensen, for her help in taking care of thebusiness matters, promos, and marketing—such as getting me ready for the Romantic Timesconvention, starting my Web site, newsletter, Kallypso's Street Brats, and other matters like handling [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
