Queen of Hearts
Page 23
I’d beaten the system. I was out. Done. I was Janie, free to be whatever the fuck I wanted to be. Free to love, to be in love, and to be loved.
Most of all, I had a home. A family. It was my own, and no one could take it away from me.
I’d paid my dues. I’d been a sinner and a whore. A fraud and a coward. My retribution was in the heart and arms of a bad man with a solid soul, a good heart, and a smile that took my breath away. In the end, we’d saved each other.
We’d save each other till the end.
Part #3 Coming Winter 2014
FROM MY HEART
It’s hard to express the gratitude I have for my friends and family for the support and encouragement they continually give me. My team of Editors and Pre-readers are first and foremost dear friends, people I can rely and lean on and I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, be able to do this without each and every one of them. Every comma and awkward sentence is redlined with love, and for that, I will be forever in their debt.
Erin, Lynda, Kat, Mary and Andrea—thank you for spending so much time on this story to make it just right. Thank you, most of all, for lending your advice, ear, hearts and hands. I’m so very blessed to have each and every one of you in my life.
To my wonderfully supportive friends for pimping, cheering and reading my writing, I am so lucky to have you in my life! Casey, Maryann, Misty, Wendy, Beth, Kelli, Jo, Sue, and everyone else I’m missing.
L.J. Anderson—you rock. You forever amaze me with your talent, and I’m grateful to have you lend those talents to me and my books with your amazing book covers!
To my fellow authors of Romance Weekly #lovewritechat—I’m so honored to be a part of such a talented and supportive pool of writers. I’ve learned so much from you all, and wish you all the greatest of success!
To all the bloggers and reviewers—you are all truly angels. I have met so many wonderful people and I’m always amazed at the time and effort you all put in to support authors.
A special thanks to The Rock Stars of Romance for giving my story a chance, for loving it, and for aiding and supporting the release of this book. There truly is a special place in heaven for you!
And last, but definitely not least, my wonderful readers. Thank you for reading and enjoying my little story. I hope you enjoyed Queen of Hearts as much as I enjoyed writing it for you to read.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jami Denise is an up and coming writer from Southern California.
She writes Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense, and Erotica.
She’s always had a strong desire to write. She fell in love with books at a very young age. She loves the freedom to express herself through her stories and share them with others.
Her books are always on the spicy side with a little bit of sweet to make you swoon. Her feisty kittens always give the bad boys a run for their money. She likes taking risks, pushing her characters into directions that challenge the reader and take them out of their element. You'll usually find the unexpected to happen in her stories. Life isn't always pretty, and she likes to layer her words with true grit.
She is a self professed cat lady, addicted to coffee and Monster, cupcake lip balm, and loves all things old, grungy, and fast. She's well versed in sarcasm, and the F-word is her favorite adjective.
When she doesn't have her nose in a book, or fingers on a keyboard, she's spending time with family and friends, watching old movies, sitting at the beach, and waiting for the next felon to come sweep her off her feet.
Jami loves interacting with her readers and meeting new friends. You can connect with Jami here:
