My Skylar (42 page)

wasn’t betting on was becoming addicted to her.

But I was living a double life on weekends, and once she found out about it, she’d be gone.

I had to protect myself and that meant one thing: I couldn’t fall in love.

**In Jake Understood, pivotal scenes from Jake Undone are retold from Jake’s point of view,

combined with all-new material that will give readers a never-before-seen glimpse into Jake’s

past, present and future. It can standalone but if both books are read, should follow Jake Undone.

Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers

age 18+.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First and foremost, thank you to my loving parents for continuing to support me every day in

every way.

To my husband, who puts up with a lot of crap so I can live out this new dream …thank you for

your love and patience.

To Allison, who always believed in me back when all of this was simply about telling stories

and to Harpo, my agent in heaven: love you both.

To my editor, Kim York, thank you for your undivided attention chapter by chapter and for

your invaluable facebook chats.

To my besties: Angela, Tarah and Sonia…love you all so much!

To all the bloggers who help and support me: you are the reason for my success. I’m afraid to

list everyone here because I will undoubtedly forget someone unintentionally. You know who you

are and do not hesitate to contact me if I can return the favor.

To Penelope’s Peeps, my facebook fan group: I adore you!

To Donna Soluri of Soluri Public Relations who organized my book blitz and who always

dishes out sound advice: Thank you!

To Hetty Rasmussen: for your support and for being my awesome Book Bash assistant!

To my readers: nothing makes me happier than knowing I’ve provided you with an escape

from the daily stresses of life. That same escape was why I started writing. There is no greater joy in this business than to hear from you directly and to know that something I wrote touched you in

some way.

To the autism moms (and dads): you rock!

Last but not least, to my daughter and son: Mommy loves you. You are my motivation and

inspiration!
