Author's Note

For the purposes of this series, I have created fictional Fairfield County, Indiana. All of the cities, towns, events, and people therein are products of my imagination.

Also, although I have made every attempt at accuracy in writing this story, there may be times when I had to bend the rules of police procedure or when I needed to make a judgment call when said procedures varied or sources conflicted.

Acknowledgments

It is with great respect and gratitude for those in law enforcement that I write the Protect & Serve series. In particular, I owe a special debt of gratitude to my technical advisors: Deputy S., Detective L., and Sheriff B. Thank you for answering all of my questions and for giving me a small glimpse into your world.

In addition, I would be remiss if I didn't thank my incredible team at Sourcebooks, especially my amazing editor, Cat Clyne. And this series never would have come to be without my dear friend and tireless agent, Nicole Resciniti, whose faith in me never wavers. Love you, Nic. Also, huge hugs to my amazingly talented BFF, Cecy Robson, who keeps me sane.

And, as always, thank you to my husband and our darling boys. There's no way I could do this without your love and support. You are my sun, moon, stars.

About the Author

Kate SeRine (pronounced “serene”) has been telling stories since before she could hold a pen. When she's not writing, you'll find Kate watching low-budget horror movies or geeking out over pretty much any movie adaptation of a comic book. As long as action and suspense are involved, she's in!

Kate lives in a smallish, quintessentially Midwestern town with her husband and two sons, who share her love of storytelling. She never tires of creating new worlds to share, and is even now working on her next project—probably while consuming way too much coffee. Kate is also the author of the award-winning Transplanted Tales paranormal romance series and the Dark Alliance romantic suspense series.
