Soul (22 page)

With a deep breath I stood and put out my hand to my aunt. Her smile was wicked, yet still sexy. She was very good at her job. “Alright,
Ms. Milan
,” I emphasized her fake name so she’d understand my commitment. “Looks like I’m your new Calendar Girl.”

or this one
, I don’t have to dig deep. It’s important that I give credit to my real life soul sisters without whom I wouldn’t have Maria, Kathleen, or Bree. Dyani Gingerich, Nikki Chiverrell, and Carolyn Beasley I love you. That deep, really intense kind of love, the kind that if I ever lost you my heart would break and my soul would shatter. This trilogy has been so much fun because the three of you allowed me to loosely base characters off of you and I think the readers connected with the story more because of them. Thank you for being you so I could be me. BESOS.

To my critique partner, Sarah Saunders, for all the endless conversations about where the characters were going, letting me work the plot out with you, loving it maybe even more than me…I can only say I appreciate you more than I can ever give you credit for within these pages. If every author had a critique partner like you, we’d all be best sellers!

To my editor Ekatarina Sayanova with Red Quill Editing, LLC, I like to joke that you’re smarter than a dictionary but I honestly believe it. You’re FREAKY smart. I like freaky. All joking aside I came to you with this book knowing I was begging for your team to do it in one week. Three to four times less than the norm. I applaud YOU for meeting that challenge and doing a damn fine job. Also thank you to Tracy Roelle for aiding in the editing process. I lucked out not having one but TWO bad asses to make sure I didn’t look like a lousy writer. I look forward to many more books to come…and I promise this next time it won’t be a miniscule deadline.

Any author knows they aren’t worth their weight unless their story is backed by badass betas. I have the best!

Ginelle Blanch - I always say it, but I mean it with my whole heart…you prevent me from looking like an idiot. That alone makes you a rock star! Your beta’s are incredible, thoughtful, and right on point. Always. You’re someone I have come to count on and have become instrumental to my review process. I hope it always stays that way because I love you lady!

Jeananna Goodall - My number one fan, my pre-reader, my beta reader, my friend. So many titles for one lovely lady. It must be tiring being superwoman. You always cry over my characters because you live them the way I do and that is something very hard to define. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to my work. I love you more than you know.

Anita Shofner - I shall bow down to the queen of tenses and pass over the crown. You blow me away Anita. I don’t know how I got so damned lucky to score a chick with an uncanny ability to find such unique errors but I did, and you do, and I’m thankful. So humbled to have your talent on my team. Love you.

Lindsay Bzoza - My wicked fast beta girl. I bet if there was a race between you and speedy Gonzales, you’d win. My money is on you girl. Thank you for taking this on last minute.

udrey Carlan lives
in the sunny California Valley two hours away from the city, the beach, the mountains and the precious … the vineyards. She has been married to the love of her life for over a decade and has two young children that live up to their title of “Monster Madness” on daily basis. When she’s not writing wickedly hot romances, doing yoga, or sipping wine with her “soul sisters”, three incredibly different and unique voices in her life, she can be found with her nose stuck in book or her Kindle. A hot, smutty, romantic book to be exact!
