Avery starts to cry harder and then shouts, “Yes! Yes! Yes, a million times. Yes, I will marry you Jackson. I love you.” I put the ring on her finger and kiss her with everything I have in me. I have a son I love very much, family that I didn’t ask for, but love just as much as if they were blood. I have another son on the way and I have a beautiful fiancée. Life couldn’t get better than this. This is my life and I plan on living it to the fullest.

Acknowledgments
To my family and friends who were there for me- Thank you for all the love and support throughout this entire process, it means the world to me. I love each and every one of you.
Ma- Thank you for not only your encouraging words, but for standing by me the entire time and for telling me to follow my dreams. You’re not just my mom, but one of my best friends. You believe in me, always. You are my biggest fan! You once said to me, “If this is what you want to do, you do it and don’t let anyone stand in your way.” Well, I did it and I did it for ME! Thank you for that extra push. No words I say to you will EVER be enough, but thank you soooooo much, for everything! I love you to infinity and beyond!
To my Sissy’s- I cannot even count the number of times y’all made me laugh! It was much needed and always welcome...as were the pics! Lol. Thank you all so much! I love y’all to death! #SissysRule
Jeff- My baby brother(I still don’t care that you are older lol), my only brother, one of my best friends and my protector. Thank you for standing by me as we were growing up and continued to do so as I got older. Thanks for always telling me to do what I think is best. Thank you for saying you are proud of me and sharing this amazing journey with me as I wrote my “Book Porn”. Lol. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you!!
Auntie Roe- Thank you for making sure I didn’t sound like a complete dummy and helping me with medical terms. Beats Google any day! Thanks for encouraging me to continue to write! I love you!
Renee Dyer- You lady, are fucking awesome! (And yes I had to use the “F” word!!) Since day one, you told me, “Have fun with it” and I did! I had an great time writing this book! You have stood by me even with your own writing and other things going on. I still think back to my bday when I chose an ARC of “Waking Up” instead of a book of my choice. After I was done reading, I thought, “Man, this woman is talented as fuck”,and I pimped you out like a hooker on a street corner, never even thinking twice about it!! Ever since then, we became good friends without ever meeting. You have been a huge support for me, even long before I wrote this book. I love not only being apart of your team, but also your life. We were somehow put into each others lives.. It may have something to do with the sexy pics or the use of the word “fuck”, but whatever the reason is, I’ll never question it and always be grateful. Thank you for allowing me to put your name and use of a certain logo in my book! I love you for life lady!! #ProudTuckerSlut
Tucker’s Sluts- This team, y’all are fucking crazy, plain and simple! I may be an admin on this team, but that’s not the only thing.. We are a fucking crazy as shit fam! We have all pimped just about everyone in that team out..guess it’s good to be #Sluts!! Y’all are amazing and I love being on this team! Love you all!!
Suzanne Morris-Donaldson- You, my love, rock! I have been a huge fan of yours since I first read “Lying with Temptation.” I remember telling my bff that she had to read it, it was a must! Ever since then, I have loved your books! Winning an ARC for SBTE, was a great day! I helped when I could and we quickly became friends. Now, when you read an ARC of my book, one sentence on particular stuck out, “Great story, although you tried to kill me there at the end”, those were your words, I couldn’t help but laugh! Thank you for all the inspiration you have given me! I love you girl!
Robin Harper/Wicked by Design- My cover lady, I absolutely LOVE my cover!! I had no idea what I wanted it to look like, but you nailed it! It’s beautiful and I’ll never forget all that you’ve done! Thank you a million times!!
My Team-Harper’s Hoes:
Betsy Whitley- My Twinn- Thank you for taking the time out to be apart of everything. Thank you for the never ending pics of hot guys, especially the naked ones, those are the best! Thanks for being there when I needed an opinion or talking in general! You are a girls best friend! I love you always Twinn! #TwinnsForLife
Lisa Ravenscroft- My Love Doll- Between helping with the pic, fb, drunk texts(yours), oh and the bruised thumb(laughing out loud right now), just know that I thank you, for everything!! You are an amazing person. I will be forever grateful for the surprise mail of the signed books by RVD!!! Best. Mail. Ever. I love you always you crazy Bitch!!
Cheryl Faumuina- Twinny- To say we love “our” men, would be an understatement!! Let’s see... There’s Colin, Donald, Andrew, Shawn, Paul... Shit, I could go on for days!! Thanks for sharing my love for “candy”. Thanks for falling in love with #Jackson. I am sorry that I made you cry. Wait, no I’m not!! :) Thank you for every damn thing you’ve done!

Thank you for believing in me and everything that you’ve done. I will be forever grateful!! I love you bunches!! #Twinning
Ashley Johnson- WENCH- You are my sister from another mister, my soul sister! We share love for just about everything! You are the jelly to my peanut butter, the pen to my paper and the French vanilla to my coffee!! You seriously are the best. You have been such a HUGE help in my life, especially with this book stuff. Thank you for always “telling me what to do” and the use of the word “fuckering.” In “God” we trust, huh wench?! Hehehe. Thanks for pushing me to do the best I can, along with the support, encouragement and inspiration. Thanks for allowing me to name drop you in my debut!! Saying “thanks”, doesn’t really do any justice to the friend that you have been to me. I love you wench and don’t you ever forget it!! #ThankYouForBeingAFriend #GoldenBesties #SophiaLovesRose #HagLovesWench #TheyCantHandleOurCrazy #ThrowTheFuckeringJar #CutABitch #WeCanHashForDays #DontJudge
Ashley Grimes-BFF-”My Lover”- We have been besties for 16 years, (geez, we sound old!) with many more to come! You have always been my rock, my confidant, my “therapist” and a shoulder to lean on when I needed it. Before I even wrote this book, you have always been one of my biggest cheerleaders. No matter what I chose to do in life, you were there and had my back. You aren’t just my best friend, you are my sister by choice and all of my children’s godmother. You treat my children as if they were your own. When i needed you the most(you know what I’m taking about), you dropped everything you were doing to be by my side. Not many people have an amazing person like you in their lives, but I am so glad that you are in mine! Never once did you say that me wanting to write was silly, in fact, your exact words were, “If you don’t publish this, I’m kicking your ass!” I laughed, but I know you were serious! Y
ou always gave me that extra push. Remember “God gave me you” and know that I could not have done this without you by my side! Thank you for always being there. Thank you for being the best friend that I could ever have hoped for, but most of all, thank you for telling me I was good enough and for believing in me. I love you to death, Lover!! #PiecesOfMe
Amie and Maegan- Thank you both so much for handling my Cover Reveal. God knows I would’ve ripped my hair out! Thank you for pimping and sharing my teasers. Thank you, for everything!!! I love you both like crazy!!
To all the Bloggers and Reviewers- There are SO many of you kickass people who joined in to spread the word about “Found by You”. If you were apart of my journey, know that I am thanking each and every one of you for it!! I appreciate all that you have done!!
Lastly- My readers and fans- Thank you all for taking a chance on me and reading this book! I hope you all have enjoyed it as much as I have!! Stay tuned for future books because there will be more of this series! I love you all!!
