Acknowledgments

Bringing a book to life is not easy. Even though there is only an author’s name on the cover, there are many people behind the front line without whose involvement the final product would not be possible.

First and foremost, I would like to thank you, my readers, for your continued support and the love you keep showing for my books. The key reason this book came to be is because you’ve been asking for the 2nd generation series. I’m happy beyond measure that you’ve enjoyed the Perfectly Imperfect Series so much that you’ve been wanting to read the stories about the kids of the main characters from the original books. I hope you love Rafael and Vasilisa as much as I do.

To the best editor in the whole world—thank you, Andie. Your dedication and professionalism blow my mind with every project. Thank you for your amazing insights and valuable advice that help my books be the best they can possibly be. We’ve been working together since I started my writing endeavor, and even though we began as business colleagues, I feel like we became fast friends. Love you so much.

A special thanks to Wesley (Andie’s hubby) who allowed us to pick his brain for all IT-related things and provided suggestions for improvement of those story elements. And a big thanks also to my friend Pedja, who was so kind as to share his extensive experience within the hacking world that helped make the story find its feet.

And to my PA, Caitlen—thank you for your ongoing support, your fierce determination in handling everything thrown your way, and your amazing proficiency. As I keep saying, I would be absolutely lost without you.

And of course, a big thank you to my beta readers—Anka, Shaima, Milica, Jennifer, Tina, and Teodora—for your feedback and ideas that improved the flow of the story. And my wholehearted gratitude to Chiara for all your help with Italian words and phrases.

This book would have been impossible to pull off without your support and dedication.

Love you all,

Neva
