The Next Wife

easy, but it was always worth it. Your enduring support and belief in me mean everything. To my four kids—Trace, Avery, Shea, and Dylan—you guys amaze me with your creativity, compassion, and team spirit. Not only am I proud to be your mom, I’m so excited to see what the future holds for each one of you. And speaking of building a company, special thanks and love to my team at Real Living, in particular Chris Svec, Alex Butler, and Erin Corrigan. It was real.

Like Best Day Ever and many of my other novels, this story is set in the fictional city of Grandville, which as many of you know is actually the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington. Thanks to my friends there for putting up with another fictional take on our wonderful community.

Readers like you make writing books worthwhile. I hope you enjoyed The Next Wife.
