To my dear husband, Travis—A special thanks for taking the time to read my manuscript at a moment’s notice, for giving me sincere words of affirmation when I need them the most, and for always being my rock. You were my high school sweetheart who has made all my dreams come true. Love you, always. ♥
To Tammie Lee—Thank you for all your heartfelt thoughts and suggestions for my manuscripts, the way you always go above and beyond for me and my books, our late-night messaging filled with laughter, and most of all, for being such a dear friend. Many, many hugs.
To my dear friend across the pond, Felicity—Words can never express my thanks to you, not only for reading my novels and helping me perfect them, but also for being such an incredible friend to me. Our friendship has only blossomed with time. I’ll always cherish it. Your beautiful card sits proudly on my bookshelf, and I smile every time I see it.
To Elle—I just adore you, lady. You and I are kindred souls who share a love for the country and anything with wheels and a motor. I can picture us on our ATVs, doing burnouts and racing through open fields—all the while, not giving a damn that we have mud on our jeans or caked in our hair. Someday, we are going to meet, and I truly can’t wait to squeeze you.
To Athena—You are truly an amazing woman. It always brings a smile to my face when I see that I have a message from you. I adore our friendship and our shared love for writing, and I love your insight on my stories. You have a wonderful talent.
To my beta readers—Thank you for your countless hours of reading my novels and for giving me the push I need with your kind and encouraging words. You all help me perfect my work and make it the best it can be, and I’m extremely thankful to each of you.
To the many bloggers who put their hearts and precious time into reading and promoting my book—Many, many thanks to you all! Truly, I’m deeply humbled and grateful for all that you do for us authors and, even more importantly, for the many friendships I’ve made along the way.
To all the ladies at InkSlinger PR—Thank you for your guidance and hard work in organizing my blog tours, cover reveals, giveaways, and so much more. Without you, I never would have known what steps to take.
To all fellow authors who have become friends—Thank you for writing books where I can lose myself for hours and for inspiring me to write love stories of my own. You have all welcomed me with open arms, and I’m extremely thankful.
And especially to my readers—I can never thank you enough for reading my books. All your support means the world to me. ♥
