My favorite part, to read and to write. Because it takes a village to create a book—from the first idea, to writing, to publishing. And I have an army of people who have made releasing this fourth book possible.
First and foremost, to the love of my life. There’s nobody I’d rather spend forever with. Nobody I’d rather fight for. And fight we have. But we’ve always come out on top, together. They didn’t think we’d make it, but here we are going on fourteen years and I’ve loved you every second of each one and will forever and always. It hasn’t always been easy, but nothing worth having and loving and wanting ever is. Thank you, baby. For loving me through every day, even when I make it near impossible. For standing by me even on my darkest days. For supporting me on this journey I never planned to take. You’re my everything. And in case you didn’t know…I love you, Bunny. I’ll always choose you.
To my parents for always putting me first, to my siblings for being the light of my life, and to the rest of my family for being my backbone. I could never be me without all of you. Thank you, I love you. And specifically, to my Momma, thank you for always being my biggest cheerleader in all I do.
Kari Stratton March, this cover is FIRE. You slayed the heck out of my idea and created my vision. Thank you, pretty lady! I’m so glad we connected and I can’t wait to work with you again :) XO
Stacey Ryan Blake. You’ve done it again, pure magic I swear! Thank you for always making my books look so pretty. As always, I look forward to working with you in the future. Because as I always say, you’re stuck with me! LOL Thanks, lady! XO
Trish. Thank you for taking me on last minute. Your eye for the written word is amazing. I’m so excited that we got to work together on this one! I hope there’s many more to come. Beyond that though—and more importantly—you’re my friend. The sweetest thing that side of the Mississippi. Loyal, trustworthy, and so kindhearted. What can I say? You’re my people. And I’m honored to call you a bestie. Thank you for all you do in my life, for always being there for me, for our daily chats. I’d be lost without you. I love you!
My betas: Sian, Jade, Nina, and GiGi. You ladies are my rock. Your encouragement keeps me going and your constant support warms my heart beyond measure. I can always turn to each of you and you’ll be there, without question, offering up your feels and feedback and most importantly your friendship. Thank you for that. All of you. I cherish and adore each and every one of you for so many reasons.
Sian and Jade—Despite everything the two of you have had going on in your every day lives, you’ve still been there for me. To chat, to talk shop, to vent. That means more than you know. Sian, congrats on your gorgeous baby girl, I am so so happy for you! Jade, I’m beyond proud of you for conquering every day. XXOO
Nina and GiGi—Thank you both for taking the time to read my words so quickly and offering feedback when you saw fit. And more than that, thank you for making me feel like a rock star! Knowing my words affect you like they do makes me smile so darn big! Nina, I’m so glad you found me and a friendship was born! GiGi, you rock my socks on the daily, girl! Thanks for supporting me with everything you’ve got! XXOO
Babycakes. I don’t know what I would do in this life without you. I really don’t. Just over two years, but it feels like I’ve known you for a lifetime. We laugh together, we’ve cried together, we brainstorm and dream and hope together. I’m so thankful and grateful that this indie book world led me to you. Your friendship is one of the greatest things in my life and you’ll never know how much you truly mean to me. Not ever. Thank you, babycakes. For simply being the loving, kind, as beautiful on the inside as the outside, good-hearted, and soulful person and friend that you are. I love you. More than the moon and the stars.
Annie Bananie. My Buttercup. You’re fierce and gorgeous and beyond talented. Your words poetry. Your heart fire. Your soul magic. I’m so blessed to have you in my life, to get to call you a best friend. Thank you for always cheering me on, for being in my corner, for encouraging me to be me. I love you for that, and I love you for YOU! Stay wild and free, and always follow your heart. It’s beautiful, babe. Just like you. xo
Eshia Baby. Thank you for pushing me to do better, to think harder, and to write from the depths of my soul. Your friendship is fierce and beyond loyal, and I can’t thank you enough for always making time for me. For always encouraging me to be my best. I appreciate you more than I could ever say. I love you, girl. More than bacon!
Chlo. Your support is endless. Your kindness knows no bounds. You always read my words with such enthusiasm and make me feel like I can actually do this writing thing! Thank you for allowing me into your world. I’m so grateful to call you a friend. I love the bones of ya, girlie. xx
To book friends turned friend-friends. T, Ambie, Megan, Cali, Rachel, Crys, Tillie, and Sam. It doesn’t matter how much times passes, we can always pick up right where we left off, laughing and chatting as if we spoke just yesterday. Thank you for your constant friendship and support. It means more than words could ever say! XOXO
To my Lovelies. Thank you for the support and kindness. For being my safe place. You’re always there to like or comment on my posts and to spread the word about my books. And read my rambley posts LOL It means so much to have a group of readers like y’all behind me. Thank you! xo
And finally, to all the readers who took a chance on me, a girl who loves love and found an outlet with words. Thank you. Quite simply and truly, without you none of this would be possible. I appreciate it more than you know. I truly hope you enjoyed Rhett and Kennedy’s story.

I am a romantic at heart and love all things love. Being an avid reader, my love for reading is what sparked my determination to put pen to paper and write my debut novel. Becoming an author is something I never planned. Writing is a dream I never knew I had. But now that I’ve started I can’t imagine doing anything else. When I’m not getting lost between the pages of my favorite books, or cheering on my favorite sports teams, I can be found spending time in my coastal New England town with my fiancé and our furbabies.
