A hand cupped her face.

Alex felt the blackness creeping in around the edge of her thoughts once more. As her surroundings faded, she cast a final glance toward her savior.

A familiar pair of dark brown eyes stared back at her from a bearded face.

Just before she passed out, she managed to whisper his name in confusion.

CKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

This book might never have been written without the incredible support and encouragement I received from a lot of truly wonderful people. I owe each of you a tremendous amount of thanks.

Thank you to my family. To Mom and Dad for all your love, encouragement, and for your unwavering faith in my ability to overcome anything. To Mimi, for all of your support these last few years, and for making sure that everyone you knew in Mobile, Alabama had a copy of my first book. And to my family in Florida, for the laughter, the love, and the home-cooked meals. You all mean more to me than you could ever know!

Thank you to Carrie Gambill and Jinnie Brown, for the hours of conversation spent hammering out plot points and filling in plot holes, and for never giving up on this story, even when I was ready to. Without your patience and encouragement during those early attempts at a first draft, I never could have finished this book. You guys rock.

Thank you to my editor (and full-time miracle worker), Rana Williamson, for helping me whip this story into shape.

To all my friends at Crescent: thank you for the dark roast coffee and the conversation during my writing breaks.

And last, but certainly not least, thank you to every reader, blogger, and fellow writer that has shown their support for The Variant Series. I never could have done this without you!
Thank you
!
