About the Author

I live in Morgan Utah with my husband, daughter, and dogs,
Kolo and Keena. I write as often as my active daughter will let me and my
husband has the patience of a saint. I find inspiration from dreams, people I
meet, and life experiences. When I write, I usually end up drinking one too
many cans of Peace Tea, eating three too many Fruit by the Foot fruit snacks,
and accidently kicking my pup and best buddy, Kolo, too many times since he
loves to sleep under my desk at my feet.

I started writing as a teen, but my fear of the unknown won
out every time and I threw everything out. After becoming a mother and deciding
to stay at home to raise my beautiful little girl, I tried again when I
couldn't stop thinking of ideas. I loved every minute, every hour of sleep
lost, and every character that came to life in my mind.

It's strange, but my favorite moments are when I have
writer's block because I can turn to my husband and find inspiration through
him by just doing what we do best together. Talking, laughing, and just being
in love. He doesn't like to read, but he never stops encouraging me to keep
going.

Writing has become an important part of my life and every
book has a special place in my heart.

Acknowledgements

The journey with the Brannock family has been so incredible
and there are so many people that have been with me from the very beginning.

Lucas, Ash, Con, Emily, Gus, Aiden, and now Liam and Izzy!
This family... well, you know what I'm talking about, don't you?

I cried many nights while writing this story because I just
can't handle seeing this beautiful family go. So, I'll share a secret to those
of you reading this right now.

There WILL be more! Maybe not very soon and maybe after this
series has slowly faded from your mind and endless reading list, but it WILL
happen. You got the cops, the good guys... well, I have some bad boys up my
sleeve! *wink wink*

Okay, now on to thanking all of the amazing people in my
life that have been with me on this journey. I can't thank you enough, but I
will certainly try.

To my husband - This one was a doozy. Thank you so much for
being patient with my endless nights and my absent mind. Your ability to calm
any situation and distract our baby girl is miraculous! I love you! Your
support is endless and my love for you, even more so. You have made me the
happiest woman in the world!

To my beautiful baby girl - I am lost without you. One day,
when you read this, you will understand some of my love for you, but these
words won't be enough to tell you completely. So I'll show you. Every single
day for the rest of my life, I'll show you how much I love you and cherish you.

To my family - What can I say? Your support on this journey
has been so freaking amazing! Thank you for telling me you are proud of me, for
always sharing a positive thought, and for the endless amount of love.

To Erica - God, there are honestly no words that would do
justice to how grateful I am for you. You have changed my life! Never in a
million years did I expect to have a friend like you! You push me to be better,
to
do
better, and I envy your ability to freaking DO EVERYTHING!! I love
you a billion times over! I wouldn't have been able to write this without your
amazing support. I just... I don't even know how to say it! Thank you! For a
cherished friendship and a million laughs. For the late night Skype
conversations and for being the person I can turn to for anything. You mean the
world to me! And I'm going to shout out to your beautiful blog, Always Behind a
Book! Always ready to spread the word and set something up that blows my mind!
Thank you!

To Jess - You are one of the biggest reasons why I wrote
this book! Your love for the Brannocks has been such an amazing gift to me, if
that makes sense. Your enthusiasm makes me want to write faster :) I can't
thank you enough for the late night laughs when I was feeling anxious and the
amazing support you have given me from the very beginning! I love you to
pieces! Thank you so much!

To Keara - There is just so much I want to say to you, but
like so often, I find that words are just not enough. Your friendship is so
immensely important to me! You have been there for me through so much and I
just want you to know that I will FOREVER cherish this friendship! You and your
beautiful family are now a part of my own family! Thank you for the amazing
support, the listening ear, and for always spreading the word. I love you! So
excited for what's coming next!

To Tracie - I CAN'T WAIT FOR JULY! You, my friend, are
probably going to get hurt from the tackle hug I will be giving you! Thank you
for EVERYTHING! I can't freaking wait to write with you and not just because
this idea kicks ass, but because you are an incredible writer and the places
your mind can take readers to just blows me away. You have the gift! Please,
don't let anyone convince you otherwise!

To Loraine, Blythe, Amie, Jamie, Amy A., Amy S., my Wilde
Ones Street Team (you know who you are, my lovelies), to anyone that I have
chatted with even if it was just for a minute, and all the beautiful bloggers
out there that have stuck with me through it all - I just can't thank you
enough! Thank you thank you thank you! Your shares, your pimping, the amazing
support and enthusiasm, the messages of encouragement, and the reviews. I hope
you know how grateful I am! I always try to say it right away, but it just
isn't enough. So, thank you for being the difference this book world is all
about.

There are just so many others that I have met along the way
that have either inspired me or seriously made my day! Thank you for your
messages and your love.

And to the best for last...

My beautiful, extraordinary, spectacular readers!

Each and every one of you holds a special place in my heart.
Thank you for the messages, the questions, the reviews, your incredible
support, the comments that make me smile every day, the messages that you loved
one of my books and can't wait for more. I have the best readers in the world!!
I know a lot of authors say that, but we honestly believe it. You are the best
readers I could ever ask for and thank you so much for sticking with me. For
taking a chance on me when you didn't know what to expect. For being the reason
I do this! Thank you! I love you!

Like I always say, without you, I am just a woman with a lot
of voices in her head! :)

Here's to many more books! Bring on the sleepless nights and
the blurry vision from staring at the computer for too long. I'M READY! And I
have so much more to give!

THANK YOU!!!

Adventure. That's all Aislinn 'Ash' Brannock wanted in her
life. Her dad and two brothers - all cops - got to see it all, but their
over-protectiveness made her feel like she had been locked away in a tower with
three fire breathing dragons watching her every move. Yes, it was that bad. The
only silver lining? Lucas Shade. Her brothers' best friend growing up, and
apparently the only man she will ever love because let's face it, none of the
others even come close. After an unfortunate mistake lands her back in her
father's home, her world is turned upside down and Lucas is there in a tightly
wrapped package of serious with a big red bow on top. Life just got
interesting, but it comes with a price, one she never wanted to pay.

 Detective Lucas Shade never had a real family, but the
Brannocks took him in as one of their own and he never took it for granted. Ash
was a big reason for why he stuck around, but in order to save himself the
beating of a lifetime from her two older brothers, he kept his feelings for her
hidden. When the case he has been working on for months takes a turn, Ash could
become the leverage the bad guys have been waiting for, but keeping her
invisible may destroy everything Lucas has worked so hard for. Good thing Ash
is the only person he would give up everything to protect.

Conall Brannock takes his job seriously. He doesn't get attached,
he doesn't ask questions, and he protects his family at all costs. Nothing will
change that. Not even the sweet, green eyed witness that just burst into his
life and shifted his world. He has one job to do; protect Emily until she can
testify. He can't let his interest in her get in the way, but the more he finds
out about her, the more he can't help but wonder how the beautiful broken girl
got into this mess in the first place. And the longer he takes to learn the
truth, the deeper he falls for her.

 Emily Dawson has a job to do. Stay off the grid, testify,
and hopefully get her brother back. He's all she has left of the family she
struggled so hard to hold together and she would do anything to keep him safe.
Even if it means she has put herself in harm's way or that she has conned
everyone into believing she saw something she didn't. She knows where her
loyalties lie, but her stoic yet gentle protector and his crazy family makes
her question everything she once knew.

Loyalty can be one sided.

Family isn't always blood.

And honesty can destroy everything she has come to love.

There are two things in this life that Gus Brannock truly
loves; his family and his job. His family is growing and he wants what his
brother and sister have before the job he's worked so hard for takes its toll.
The woman he's got his eye on, however, isn't interested in being with a man
who risks his life every day. When the unexpected friendship with the sassy red
head he used to hate turns into something Gus just doesn't want to live
without, he will do whatever it takes to have her. The hazards of his job as a
detective for missing children may end up proving to be too much, but there's a
reason Aiden was brought into his life and nothing will stand in his way to
keep her there.

Aiden Murphy used to hate the handsome jerk next door until
a surprising discovery spun her world in another direction. Her life of devotion
to her sister and niece has been her biggest strength with the exception of her
art. That is, until Gus turns out to be the one thing that has been missing
from that life all along. Aiden must decide if the unknown is worth the risk of
loving the dedicated detective or if being pulled into his world is more than
she can handle. When Gus becomes the only way for her to keep the people she
loves most safe, will she understand why he treasures her untried strength or
will she let her fear of the unknown decide
for
her?

Fear.

It's the last thing I remembered.

I was afraid.

Afraid to fight, afraid to run… afraid to breathe.

Then, everything had gone dark. As if life was finally
hearing my pleas, my cries to end the torment. To end the fear.

But even in the dark, I still felt it.

I always felt it.

My life had been a ricochet of one event leading to the
next. Bouncing back and forth from good to bad. Happiness to despair. Hope to
fear.

My name is Arianna West. I'm stronger now. Steady. Alive.

I can find a way to survive on my own. I can see what is
coming for me. I can channel my fear into strength.

Except… I didn't see Jack.

And Jack changed everything.

eyed neighbor turning out to be the one thing her and Olivia have been missing.

Andrew Carter has been waiting his whole life for a woman
like Jocelyn. After his parents died years before, leaving him to care for his
little sister, Madison, he spent years patiently waiting for a family of his
own. When Jocelyn and Olivia completely steal his heart, he knows his patience
has finally paid off and it's time for his life to finally start.

What he doesn't know is that Jocelyn is keeping something
from him. Something she learned a few years ago.

Life is short and sometimes, time isn't on your side.

Five years ago, Tessa Marshall turned her back on everything
she once knew. She left behind her friends and family hoping they would be
better off without her in the way. Now, after being diagnosed with dissociative
identity disorder and determined to set her life straight, she is going back.
She doesn't expect her best friend growing up, and the only man she has ever
loved, to be waiting for her.

Charlie Mackenzie never knew the real reasons why Tessa
left, but because of the promises he swore to keep, he feels responsible. He
has spent the last five years staying distracted, and trying not to chase after
her and drag her back to him. Now that she is finally back, he won't allow her
to push him away without knowing how he has felt about her all along. The only
problem? He's not just dealing with Tessa anymore.

The two of them must decide if their love is worth fighting
for and Tess has to learn to just let go, because Charlie won't let
her
go. He won't let any one of her go.
