Mom, we struggle sometimes, but I want you to know I’m so very proud of everything you’ve accomplished. Thank you for being supportive of this dream and wanting to be apart of it. After some persuasion on your part, I gave you the green light to read this, but I’ll cringe if you ever bring up certain parts of this book. I hope you like it, but there are just some things we don’t need to discuss.
Jen Wildner, GAH! I did it! I’m here! Thank you for more than I could ever articulate. Thank you for taking me under your wing when I was looking for help and for becoming a true friend to me. Thank you for being the first person to read Deceit in Bloom and loving it. I couldn’t ask for more in a BETA or in a friend.
Dottie Fisher, thank you for being my partner in crime. I’m sad to have left my blogging world behind, but the best thing I got out of it was my friendship with you. You’re my support and my ear for venting. Thank you for making it easy to let you read my story when I was so damn nervous. I knew I was safe in your hands.
To my BETAs: Jen, Dottie, Betsy, Angie, and Cheryl, each one of you were pivotal in my journey. You made Deceit in Bloom better and gave me encouragement to share it with the world. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. I’ll forever be grateful for your honesty and advice.
Marni, you’ve fast become someone I look up to and admire. I love that you’ll always be honest with me and I hold high value to your opinion. I couldn’t be more grateful our paths crossed and that I have you in my life. You are what’s good about this book community.
Marni, Betsy, Rebecca, and Tracey, thank you for the words of encouragement and for fielding every single one of my millions of questions. I’ll be okay in this world if I navigate it with one-tenth of your grace.
Lisa and Ashley, thank you for helping me to make Deceit in Bloom the best it can be. I couldn’t have asked for a better start in this world without you both. You push me and help to better me. Ashley, I look forward to what we’ll do in the future.
Bloggers, I came from your world. I know how hard each and every one of you work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. It’s a never-ending job that often doesn’t get enough thanks. You are the backbone of how this indie community survives.
To the readers, I’m writing this before ever having anyone buy my first novel, but if you’re here reading this . . . thank you. It’s strange for me to think that strangers might be reading my book right now, but I’m forever grateful to you for taking a chance on this debut novel. I hope any part of it resonated with you. I hope you enjoyed the journey. I’m sorry for that giant cliffy, but I can tell you more is coming and I’ll tie up those loose ends. Burke and Paisley’s story is two books, and all of the answers will come together in the next installment.
Reviews are crucial to an author’s survival. Each and every word left on book review sites is important and appreciated. If you enjoyed Deceit in Bloom, I would love for you to give me your honest words. Your review can help others discover this story. Thank you.

As a child Jennifer Michael dreamed of being an author. Life and adulting pushed that dream down to a mere fantasy. Then, as a reader, she found the indie romance world, and the dream that was long ago deemed unattainable became a reality. Writing fulfills pieces of her she lost long ago.
Jennifer writes stories that range from sweet and sultry to dark and daring. Behind her computer, she’s constantly dreaming up where she’ll go next, not wanting to be put in a specific romance genre box. Pushing limits and striving to conquer wherever the characters take her is the ultimate method to her madness.
Jennifer resides in southwest Florida where she wishes she spent much more time at the beach. She’s an avid reader of gritty books with deep emotion or dark twisty plot twists and fond of more than a few guilty pleasure television shows. She gets sucked into the world of characters from all mediums.
