  “In death,” Emily says sadly. “Seems like a long time he’s had to wait to be with her.”

  “Your soulmate is worth waiting for,” I murmur, locking eyes with Emily. “No matter how long you have to wait.”

  Everyone around the table smiles at me.

  They get it.

  Heath

  The Dark Place…

  “CATRINA!”

  Dark. Dark. So dark.

  “Catrina!”

  Frantically, I search for her. I can feel her. I can smell her.

  So close…

  “Catrina!”

  Why the fuck is it so cold here?

  I fumble through the darkness, seeking a bit of warmth. A dull glimmer of light. I can really feel her now. Closer. So close.

  “Catrina, my love!”

  Heath.

  Was that whisper my imagination or was it real?

  “Heath…”

  Warmer and warmer and warmer.

  I can feel her smile. It’s sunshine and happiness and delight.

  “Catrina!”

  “Heath!”

  Hot. So hot. So close. And fuck, it’s bright.

  I’m knocked over by love. It saturates my soul. It puts me back together again.

  “You came for me,” she whispers. “It took so long, but you came for me.”

  “I’m here now, my heart.”

  I hold her close and don’t let her go.

  Not ever again.

  “Where are we going?” she asks.

  “We’re going home.”

  “And where’s that?”

  “Together.”

  Kristi, without you giving Wuthering Heights a chance, this book wouldn�
�t even exist. Thank you for falling in love with Heathcliff and showing me even the blackest of hearts are capable of loving and breaking. To everybody who contributed to this book in some way, whether it was beta reading, editing, proofreading, formatting, making teasers, or simply posting about this book, thank you! To the bloggers, thank you for sharing and taking a chance on Heath. To my children, thank you for simply being you. And to the readers, you are the reason why I’m able to continue to write. Your love and passion for my books never seizes to amaze me. Thank you.

  A big, happy thank you to Nikki Ash. Thank you for making me read Wuthering Heights. Had you not expressed your undying love for that book, I may never have picked it up. I enjoyed nerding out with you late into the night over that story. And what was even better than that was when you didn’t call me crazy when I suggested we do a modern retelling. Our mutual love for Heathcliff and Cathy drove us to tell our own tale, and I’ll be forever grateful you went along that path with me. It was a blast…and for that, I dedicate this book to you, Nikki Ash. Until next time, friend. There will definitely be a next time! Love ya bunches, even when you try to micromanage me!

  Thank you to my husband. You’ll always be my Heath and I’ll be better than your Catrina! I love you bunches!

  A huge thank you to my Krazy for K Webster’s Books reader group. You all are insanely supportive and I can’t thank you enough.

  A gigantic thank you to those who always help me out. Elizabeth Clinton, Ella Stewart, Misty Walker, Holly Sparks, Jillian Ruize, and Gina Behrends—you ladies are my rock!

  Thanks so much to Misty. You go THERE with me all the time, no matter where THERE is. Even if it’s far out into space, or under the sea with mermaids, or in fairy lands, or the barn, or the 1800s. No matter where THERE is, THERE you are. I absolutely love the fact that you go out of your comfort zones for me. You’re a dedicated friend and I love you to pieces….totally in the creepiest way imaginable.

  A big thank you to my author friends who have given me your friendship and your support. You have no idea how much that means to me.

  Thank you to all of my blogger friends both big and small that go above and beyond to always share my stuff. You all rock! #AllBlogsMatter

  Emily A. Lawrence, thank you SO much for editing this book. You’re amazing and I can’t thank you enough! Love you!

  Thank you Stacey Blake for being amazing as always when formatting my books and in general. I love you! I love you! I love you!

  A big thanks to my PR gal, Nicole Blanchard. You are fabulous at what you do and keep me on track!

  Lastly but certainly not least of all, thank you to all of the wonderful readers out there who are willing to hear my story and enjoy my characters like I do. It means the world to me!
