Not Quite A Gentleman

This book is dedicated with my love and gratitude to my sister-in-law Brenda D‘Alessandro, who is not only World’s Greatest Shopper, but also World’s Greatest Hairdresser. Thanks for making me laugh and for wielding your magic scissors.

And to Erika Tsang, for being such a great editor. Thank you for helping me bring this story to life and for loving it so much. And for forcing me to clean my house by coming to visit (my family thanks you for this as well).

And as always, to my wonderful, encouraging husband Joe, for always being my perfect gentleman, and my makes-me-so-proud son Chris, aka Perfect Gentleman, Jr., who I know will grow up to be the same sort of terrific gentleman as his dad.
