Okay, I’m going to get a little sappy for a moment. I have so many amazing people to thank, but I don’t want to forget anyone. Instead, I’m making this thank you for all of you. Firstly, I would not be here, doing what I love, if it were not for you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on me, a still fairly new author. Thank you for taking a chance on Carter, as this book is by far my favorite. I honestly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for you wanting to read my books, this one in particular. I hope you love it as much as I did while writing it, and thank you again from the bottom of my heart for reading.

Secondly, to the wonderful ladies in my fan group. Thank you for sticking by me when things weren’t going so well. Thank you for keeping me sane, and for all the laughs. Thank you for the naughty posts, as they were highly appreciated. You guys are absolutely amazing, and the love and support each, and every one of you show me, is awesome. Ladies, you keep me going and for that, I cannot thank you enough.

Thirdly, to my wonderful street team. We may be small, but size doesn’t matter. You babes rock it and pimp your hearts out. I cannot thank you enough for all the support, and pimping you do. I really do appreciate all the help in getting Carter out there, and making sure to enter in contests. You babes are the best.

To my beta team, thank you for reading and giving me the wonderful feedback. Y’all know how nervous I was about Carter, and hearing how much you loved it, gave me the courage and reassurance it would be great. Thank you for your honesty and wanting to help make Carter the best. To my review team, you ladies rock it. I’m so glad to have such an amazing group willing to read and review for me. It really means the world to me.

I can’t forget about my lovely ladies from Saints and Sinners Books. Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make Carter’s cover reveal and release day such a success. From all the hard work y’all did, down to tagging me in each post, I can’t thank you enough. You ladies are the best. To the amazing team with Give Me Books, thank you so much for helping me promote and get Carter to new readers. You have a wonderful team, and I cannot wait to work with you again.

Thank you to my amazingly talented cover designer. I’m really sorry it took us so long to come up with the perfect cover, BUT, it came out truly beautiful and stunning. As always, you rocked it. You have some serious skills, and I cannot wait to see what you come up with next.

A big thank you to Christopher Correia for capturing the perfect photo for the cover. You’re so talented, and I cannot express how thankful I am for everything you did to make sure I had the right picture. You’re amazing to work with, so kind and sweet, and I can’t wait to work with you again. To the models, BT Urruela and Jessie Reis, both of you are such an inspiration. I couldn’t have picked anyone else to fit the characters so perfectly. A huge thank you for both of you for inspiring Carter and Shelby. It was a pleasure working with both of you, and I can’t wait to plan more books with you.

To my brilliant and ever patient editor, thank you for helping me polish and make Carter the best it can be. As always, your suggestions were great. You’ve helped me with so much, and of course, helped me learn what to do and what not to do. It’s always a pleasure working with you.

I know I said I wouldn’t name anyone, but it’s needed with this thank you. Nikki, thank you so very much for supporting me and helping me so much when I needed it. You always cheer me on, giving me the courage to step out of my comfort zone, and I really have no way of thanking you enough. You’ve been there for me from the very beginning, and I’m so glad I have you on my team. Thank you again for everything you do, no matter how small it may seem.

Last but not least, thank you to my husband. Thank you for your support and telling me more than once how proud of me you are. The support and love you give me every single step of the way means more to me than you know. Thank you for understanding when I disappear for days, and the housework slips. You’ve always understood me, and I love you for that. Thank you, babe, for being everything I need.
