Intimate 02 - Intimate Surrender (35 page)

A
special thank-you to my editor, Eleni Caminis, and the Montlake author team for their help and support.

And to Mary Schwaner for her incredible computer ability, and for not hanging up on me when I keep her on the phone after midnight.

You are all the best!

L
aura Landon taught high school for ten years before leaving the classroom to open her own ice-cream shop. As much as she loved serving up sundaes and malts from behind the counter, she closed up shop after penning her first novel. Now she spends nearly every waking minute writing, guiding her heroes and heroines to happily ever after. She is the author of more than a dozen historical novels, including
Silent Revenge, The Most to Lose,
and
Intimate Deception
from Montlake Romance. Her books are enjoyed by readers around the world. She lives with her family in the rural Midwest, where she devotes her free time to volunteering in her community.
