Kelley is the author of the erotic paranormal romances Just Ducky (Forbidden Publications) and Sabine (Red Rose Publishing). She also has published several stories online.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thank you first to all writers of erotica.

Thank you, specifically, to the contributors in this book—you are among the best at what you do, and we are honored to have your words grace these pages. Thank you Brooke Warner and Seal Press—working with you has been a delightful breath of fresh air, and we couldn’t feel more grateful for the opportunity.
