And Donna Cooksley Sanderson, I would be lost without you. Because you pushed me, this book is exactly what I hoped it would be. You refused to let me off easy and forced me to dig deep and I thank you so much for it. There are billions of people in the world and to have been paired with a person so perfectly suited for a coach, well, I’m convinced it’s not a coincidence. I finished the marathon because of you and your endless support. You became such a vital part of this process and made my days so much better. Thank you for the endless hours on facetime, for sacrificing time with family, sleep, and your sanity to get me through. Your endless patience was such a blessing. I love you, dear friend.
A huge thank you to my betas, Kelly Collopy, Sophie Broughton, Sharon Dunn, Anne Christine, Kathy Sheffler, Stacy Hahn, Donna Sanderson, Maiwenn Blogs, Malene Dich, Patty Tennyson, Daisy Rock, and Christy Baldwin. Your feedback was invaluable and your support priceless. You ladies are amazing.
A huge thank you to Amy Queau for helping my vision for the cover come to life.
Thank you, Stacey Ryan Blake of Champagne Formats, for pulling these books together and polishing them so beautifully.
Autumn, you are amazing. Thank you for taking this writer on with no guarantees and nothing but faith. I’m so happy we found each other. I can’t wait to see what’s next. Thank you so much for all you do.
A huge and never-ending thank you to my wonderful and tolerant PA, Bex Kettner. Bex, you are the most amazing lady. Your strength, patience, and friendship, especially these last few months, has meant everything. I love you. Thank you being the stellar friend that you are. And thank you for all you do.
A huge thank you to Christy Baldwin, who continues to take the baton running and always shows up to the party. You are a true blessing and I adore you.
A special thank you to my dear friends, Emma Scott and Jewel E. Ann, for the bitch slaps and the hand holding. This one was rough, and I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you, Kennedy Ryan, for being there for message jam sessions and making me laugh. You are awesome!
Thank you to Jessica Florence who messages me with nothing but inspiration. I feel the hugs across the miles. You are a true and dear friend.
A huge and never-ending thank you to my ASSKICKERS! Wow, ladies, how we’ve grown and I’m so fortunate to have a safe-haven full of friends like you. Your bottomless support is astounding, and I’m so blessed to have you ladies in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you to my girls in DHI-I love laughing and crying with you.
A collective thanks to my amazing family and dear friends spread out across the miles. Without your support, I know I wouldn’t have been able to get far.
A huge thank you to my rock, Nick, my home, my forever. I love you.
Kate Stewart lives in Charleston, S.C. with her husband, Nick, and her naughty beagle, Sadie. A native of Dallas, Kate moved to Charleston three weeks after her first visit, dropping her career of 8 years, and declaring it her creative muse. Kate pens messy, sexy, angst-filled contemporary romance as well as romantic comedy and erotic suspense because it’s what she loves as a reader. A lover of all things ‘80s and ’90s, especially John Hughes films and rap, she dabbles a little in photography, can knit a simple stitch scarf for necessity only and does a horrible job of playing the ukulele. Aside from running a mile without collapsing, traveling is the only other must on her bucket list. On occasion, she does very well at vodka.
