Alluring Promises Box Set (Books 1-3)
Page 125
Although this book is fiction, I completely understand how difficult it is to read about.
If any of these issues are something that you are dealing with personally, please know that you are not alone and do not have to deal with this by yourself.
Please know that there is help out there for you.

JOSIE BORDEAUX
Josie Bordeaux is the author of the Alluring Promises series. Her romance novels revolve around friendships, sizzling attraction and steamy sex scenes. Lust, passion and love are all entwined with a lot of drama and fun-filled friendships. Josie lives in the sunshine state with her best friend (AKA - husband) and two sweet, and very creative daughters.
When she's not driving her kids around town, she's usually clicking her fingernails on her keyboard or down at the beach where her eyes are glued to her kindle app reading.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Whew! Another Alluring Promises book is complete.
I have an amazing support team and this book couldn’t be what it is without them. I am so very grateful for all the help and advice I received in making Clark and Aubrey’s story come to life on paper.
For my readers who were there since the release of Promises, Promises, I know you wanted Clark’s love story much sooner. I tried. This book became more intense than I had intended it to be, but I think it was worth the journey and I hope you agree.
I want to thank all of my readers for their amazing support and patience!
Jenni - I’m so very thankful for your amazing advice and beta changes! Your changes were huge and your suggestions helped shape this book. Thank you for all your sleepless nights and for helping me even when you were sick. You’re an amazing friend. Regardless if it’s only online right now! (wink, wink)
Ang. I cannot thank you enough! You really helped me out and I love all your suggestions and catches. I’d hate to have everyone walking around saying “Arrr!” Unless I wrote a pirate book and didn’t realize it! I love the way you brainstorm, baby! And I love you!
Deanna…What can I say that would be more than a simple “Thank you”? Your “brutal” honesty was so very needed and I love that you were! The way you polish my writing made it shine and I cannot thank you enough. One last thank you, for always being there and always working me in as soon as you can. You have NO idea how much that means to me and I realize how much time and incredible work you put into everything I send to you. Thank you. So VERY much!! And last, but not least, thanks for keeping Aub’s thumb-holes pretty (I’m wiggling my brows!). Love you so hard!!
To my husband and my girls - I love you more than you know. More than any words I could ever write. I thank you for your patience and your ability to now make your own meals for dinner, when needed. Cereal really is a very nutritious meal. Huggas, squggas and a great big huge Obediah hug.
