To my wonderful readers, thank you for taking this journey with Bourne, Cross, Temple, and Chase, for loving them as much as I do, and for the endless encouragement online and by mail. To every single reader who gasped when you discovered that Chase was a woman, and took a chance on her story nonetheless, you will never know how much your faith meant to me.

And finally, to the woman who accosted me in a bathroom in Texas in early 2012 and announced, “I think Chase is a woman!,” I’m very sorry I lied to you.
