To my parents: Kathy, Tim, Gehrig, and Janet—Each and every one of you has been so wonderful through this entire process. I’m so blessed to have four incredible parents in my life.
To Sarah Harper—What would I do without you? Seriously, what would I do? You are always there for me. You’ve been with me through this since the beginning, and I will treasure those memories forever. I can’t remember which vegetable I am in our vegetable medley, but I heart you so hard! We will be Momo sock sisters for life. You have no idea how much fun I had conspiring for your special gift on Christmas Eve.
To Kelly Elliott—Um…um…um…do you feel me channeling my inner um, my fellow Special K friend? You are so very dear to me on so many levels. OMG, the laughs we have had make my chortle box go off all the time. Girl, you’re always picking up what I’m putting down. Thanks for being there for me. The Prime Sisterhood is so elated that you finally joined. Keep one-clicking my friend. You can never go wrong with Prime. Love ya, my sister from another mother! P.S. Scott was totally worth the trade!
To Jovana Shirley—You are still my Fairy Edit Godmother. Thank you for all you did on Love Me. I’m convinced you have a magic wand that you use as you go through the story. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I still stand by my last comment in Trust Me—you are totally worth the wait.
To My Beta Readers:
Maren—Thank you for taking the time and giving me such detailed notes. I’m going to miss you when you move to Switzerland. You better believe that I’ll be coming to see you! I still love that Frozen song, and I so badly want to be able to create snow. Ha-ha!
Nikola (You’ll still never be Nikki to me)—Thank you for being one of those last eyes that reads the story before the infamous publish button is hit. That attention to detail is so important. Here’s to hoping that when you come into town next time, you’re able to stay a little longer. I miss you so much!
Brandy—Thank you for all your feedback. I love all of our chats as we bounce ideas off of each other. We are going to meet one day, I’m convinced of it! Girl, you seriously rock. Oh, and P.S. Please put more Slater in your books. I’m begging you.
Heather—You are one of my biggest cheerleaders! Thank you for all your feedback and for your love of the story. Most importantly, thank you so much for my ketchup-flavored Chapstick. Your messages telling me to hurry up and start writing the next story always bring a smile to my face.
Kendall—To my favorite gal across the pond. Thank you for all that you’ve done for me and for giving me the idea to add Damien POVs to the back of the book. I’m still confused. Is it gale or gail? Ha-ha! That still makes me laugh.
