Surrender (Surrender #1)
Page 26
Thoughts from the basement flashed through her mind. He mentioned four sixteen several times, but she never gave a moment's thought about it. Yes, it was his birthday and his parents’ anniversary, but never in a million years did she think he would be here waiting. Now, all the pieces were coming together. He knew he was going to get out and she would be here waiting.
“How? How did you know?”
Tony kissed the tip of her nose before lighting her up with his eyes. “I didn’t know. I hoped. I hoped you would figure out the clues I was providing. I hoped that I would make it out of there alive. Most of all, I knew the connection between us was so strong. Nothing could keep me away from you. Nothing. I would’ve moved heaven and earth to get to you.” He brushed his lips against her.
“How did you get out?”
He put his finger to her lips. “Shhh. My beautiful Kate. We have all the time in the world to talk about the past. Right now, I want to get you some place private and make up for lost time.” Tony rubbed the back of his hand against her cheek before pressing his lips softly to hers.
She succumbed to the passion in his words, the heat from his body, and the electricity of his touch. Her body turned into Jello-O as her knees grew weak, threatening to give out. Without hesitation, she surrendered herself to him.
Tony pulled his lips from her, releasing the emotional vise grip he had on her. “Shall we go?” He extended a hand.
Kate grasped his hand without hesitation. “Where are we going?”
“Have you forgotten everything so quickly?” He chuckled. “The Waldorf, of course.” He led her to the elevators. Kate took a deep breath and prepared for the ride as the doors closed behind them.

Acknowledgements
A book’s success is not based solely on the author. There are so many people who help it come to fruition. On that note, I’d like to start the drum roll. First, I’d like to thank my editor, Laura. You truly are amazing and I love working with you. Jennifer Anne Davis for giving me much needed advice, resources, an extra set of eyes, and friendship. You’re awesome!
Thank you to my street team: Akeisha, Stacy, Belinda, Linda, and Kristy. We are small but mighty. Thanks for sticking with me. To my sister Nicole for reading and reviewing all of my books and thinking that I’m a “proliphic writer.” My brother, Ethan thank you for your legal advice and support and for taking such good care of Nicole. Amber, John, Thomas, and Katie, thank you for your continued support. Uncle Jim, I’ll always be your Scoober. To my mom, Brenda for always giving me sound advice. To my dad. I miss you like crazy and I hope you’re looking down smiling.
I have the most amazing and supportive husband. He’s sure every one of my books is going to become a best seller. Thank you for believing in me and here’s to dreaming. Hopefully one day I can support you!
Trever, Conner, and Jacob; I’m sorry you can’t read mommy’s books, but just know every one of them has a piece of you in it. You are always on my mind, and I love you more than life itself.
To my readers: I can’t put into words how much your support means to me. I really appreciate the Facebook messages and emails asking questions or telling me what you liked about the book. Without you, there is no success. I’m so honored to be able to share my stories with you.
As always, my final dedication goes to my writing companion Riley Bear. Thank you for spending countless hours and years by my side. May you rest in peace.
About the Author
JG Sumner was born and raised in Southern California, and went to Nursing School in San Diego, where she earned her RN. She then began working as an ICU nurse. While working full-time, she went back to school to earn her bachelor’s degree in Nursing as well as her master’s degree in Nursing at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Most recently, she worked as a supervisor in a major trauma center in the San Diego area. JG made the decision to leave her position at the end of 2012 to be at home with her three boys, dogs, and to pursue her writing career—a dream that was born long before she ever thought about being a nurse.
She loves snowboarding, traveling, reading, hiking, kickboxing, spending time with her family and her dogs, and pretty much anything outdoors.
JG has a very dry sense of humor, and should never be taken too seriously. She loves to hear from her fans and even those who aren't and would love to hear your opinion on her books.
She is also the author of A Shot in the Dark the prequel to Into the Light, and the Surrender Trilogy coming this summer.
I love to hear from my readers.
