I had never permitted myself to consider fatherhood in the past because I had believed it was something that would never happen to me and didn’t want to put myself through unnecessary misery. With Gabe, all things good and wonderful were possible. I didn’t yet know how or when it would happen, but raising kids with him was something I saw in my future. I didn’t need my psychic friend, Emory, to tell me it would happen.
“I hope they take after you,” I told Gabe. “There are only so many divas a house can hold, regardless of the size.”
“I’m not afraid of divas,” Gabe replied with a happy, hopeful expression on his face. “I have only one worry, and this is a deal breaker, Sunshine.”
“What, babe?” I asked.
“The entrances to that scary-ass hidden basement are getting boarded up forever. I will never go down those rickety motherfucking steps for any reason,” Gabe said resolutely.
“Deal,” I agreed. We sealed our promise with a kiss and Gabe put Princess in drive so we could head back home.
A sexy vacation, a wedding to plan, and a house to buy and furnish were on the horizon; my life couldn’t possibly get any sweeter. I had to pinch myself to be certain that I hadn’t died and gone to heaven.

First, I need to thank my husband and children for their constant support and encouragement. It’s not easy living with a writer who often disappears into a fictional world for long periods of time. They do so many things to help me out so that I can realize my dream. I love you guys more than words can ever express.
Many thanks go out to my three best friends, Anne, Deena, and Kerry. They’ve stood by me, cheered me on, picked me up, and held my hand through some really rough patches. I love you girls so very much. I wish everyone had friends like you because the world would be a much kinder place.
To my creative dream team, thanks seem hardly enough for all that you do. Pam Ebeler of Undivided Editing thank you for your tireless work, feedback, and many laughs while editing. Jay Aheer of Simply Defined art is just an incredible artist, and I love how she brings my words to life. Stacey Blake of Champagne Formats is also an amazing artist who does incredible interior formatting and designing for e-books and paperbacks. New to my team is Judy Zweifel of Judy’s’ Proofreading. She does an amazing job of finding the tiniest details that make a book shine.
I would like to thank my beta readers for all the honest feedback they give me on my storyline. I appreciate you guys so much. Aimee’s ARC Angels are Anne, Kerry, Jason, Jodie, Kim, and Laurel. Thank you for all that you do!
I am a wife and mother to three kids, four dogs, and a cat. When I’m not dreaming up stories, I like to lose myself in a good book, cook or bake. I’m a girly tomboy who paints her fingernails while watching sports and yelling at the referees. I will always choose the book over the movie. I believe in happily-ever-after. Love inspires everything that I do. Music keeps me sane.
I’d love to hear from you.
