The Unconventional Governess. Jessica Nelson

      I would like to dedicate this book to Denise Petrovich, my very unconventional mother. Life would be quite boring without you. I love you and thank you for all of the creative ways you support my writing.

      Many thanks to all of my fabulous writing friends, including the members of my Sunshine State Romance Authors group (Loretta Rogers, Darlene Corcoran, Barbara Cairns, Michael Ditchfield and many others), who one October Retreat night helped me brainstorm my hero into the unique and fabulous guy that he is.

      Thank you to Emily Rodmell, editor extraordinaire, who is both kind and wise with her advice.

      Final thanks to Jesus, my main squeeze. He is a God who is constantly teaching me in unconventional ways.
