Dedication
As always, I have to thank my amazing husband. MrLaurann is
my rock, my inspiration, and he makes life a pretty fantastic experi-
ence to share. On Christmas 2013, I suffered a stroke. Life can be full
of surprises, some wonderful…some not. I want to give a HUGE thank
you to everyone for being so supportive. It was a very scary time at
first but the many wonderful messages motivated me to keep my sense
of humor and to push to get my life back on track. You guys rock!
I’d also like to say a very special thank you to Kele Moon. She’s
an awesome best friend and the best critique partner I could ask for.
To my mother, Donna, who pitched in to help with the kids after my
stroke—thank you! My editor, Pamela Campbell, is worth her weight
in gold. Thank you. Last but not least, I want to extend my gratitude to
Ellora’s Cave. Five years ago you took a chance on me by offering a
housewife with a dream of getting her stories published a book con-
tract. I’m so glad that you did!

to make sure he couldn’t be overheard by anyone except his target.
“My father said you’re surly. It reflects badly on him. I just got my ass

to a journalist.”
“Did you hear what he preached up there?” She was angry too. “I
agreed to put on this long skirt because your father has a problem with
women wearing pants. I didn’t say I’d talk with reporters and repeat
the hatred he spews.”
“You’re not supposed to talk at all. I know he’s old school but he
is my father. We’re here to represent him.”
“Old school? I’d use way harsher words for what he is. No, I only
came because I thought we were having a romantic weekend at a nice
hotel. Instead, I discover you’re sharing a suite with your father and
I’m stuck rooming with his insane assistant. You waited to spring this
on me once we arrived because we both know I wouldn’t have come
otherwise.”
He stepped closer and wrapped his fingers around her upper
arm, glancing around again. “This is important to him. It’s two more
days. Just smile and keep your lips sealed. That’s all.”
“You told me you have nothing to do with your father’s church.
Why are we even here, Carl? I don’t understand.”
“He never asks me for anything but some of the press have been
questioning his family values. He needed us here to show support. It’s
