:

My amazingly talented critique partner and friend, P.T. Michelle, for reading so quickly, giving me the much needed pep talks and advice, wonderful notes, and for your friendship.

My super human beta readers, I could not write books without your brilliance. Honestly, you are my girls! Katrina Tinnon, Naomi Hopkins, Amy Bosica, Kayleigh-Marie Gore, Pavan Hansra, and Jessica Mangicaro.

A special shout out to the best street team ever, the Tuff Girl Legion! You guys keep me sane, make me laugh, and offer so much support. I couldn’t do this without your unflappable faith in my work and your cheerleading. Thank you!

My awesome PR, Valerie Fink, and assistant, Naomi Hopkins. You girls are more than my promotional team, you’re my sanity. I know that Stuck in Books PA is going to take the book world by storm, and I’m so honored that you took me under your wing, guiding my efforts with your creative and knowledgable marketing. And I could not get through one book without your insightful input, Naomi. You go above and beyond an assistant’s duties to help me sort through my chaotic life. Thank you so much.

To my family. My son, Blue, who is my inspiration, thank you for being you. I love you. And my husband, Daniel, for your support and owning your title as “the husband” at every book event. I love you, too. To my parents, Debbie and Al, for the emotional support, chocolate, and unconditional love—I love you guys right back.

Arijana Karčić of CoverIt! Designs, thank you for so much. Not for just creating a stunning and striking cover, but for also all your encouragement and belief in this series. I had a blast working with you, and was in awe of your talent. Truly, the covers for this series are perfect.

A special acknowledgement to Nereyda for being a loyal friend. Thank you for the emails, the support, and for always listening to my rants when I need to vent. And to Damaris, thank you for being not only a wonderful friend, who’s there when I just need to call someone, but also a huge support of my career. Both you ladies mean the world to me.

Another special shout out to Walker and Stacey O’Neale, who were there with the knowledge I needed to help bring this story to life—my go-to guy and gal for all things football. And Stacey, you rock! Can’t wait to hang with you again.

There are many, oh, so many people who I have to thank, who have been right beside me during this journey, and who will continue to be there, but I know I can’t thank everyone here, the list would go on and on! So just know that I love you dearly. You know who you are, and I wouldn’t be here without your support. Thank you so much.

To my readers, you have no idea how much I value and love each and every one of you. If it wasn’t for you, none of this could be possible. As cliché as that sounds, I mean it from the bottom of my heart; I adore you, and hope to always put out books that make you laugh, swoon, and cry.

I owe everything to God, thank you for
everything
