To my husband, Patrick, thank you for always answering, “No,” when I ask you, “Is this weird?” I’m usually referencing something sexual that I’m writing and your denials have probably led to some of my best creative moments!
To my daughter, Mackenzie, if fifteen years has passed and you’ve just finished reading this book, let’s have a talk.
To my editor, Heather Howland, for being open to this radical pairing of characters and giving me some great feedback, thank you.
To my series mate, Katee Robert, for writing some fabulous books (MISTAKEN BY FATE and BETTING ON FATE) within the Serve world. As always, working with you has been a dream.
To Christine Smith for giving me a great talk over fondue one night that really helped shape Porter Evans as a character. Thank you, milady.
To Bailey’s Babes, as always, for keeping me encouraged and typing away day in and day out, thank you. And to all the reviewers and bloggers who spread the word about my releases, you’re the bee’s knees. Thank you.
