One of the highlights of the past year was Austin winning me. Those first couple months were a roller coaster, but I wouldn’t trade the rest of the year for anything because it set up an excellent future.
Thanks for Reading!

Acknowledgments
Susan, thanks so much for coming up with the idea for a shared bachelor auction universe. And, RJ and V.L., thanks for thinking of me and for the invite come play along. I had a wonderful time creating Hockey Allies Bachelor Bid universe world alongside Chantal and the three of you. Extra thanks to RJ for allowing Garrett to be Kyle’s best friend. I had a great time brainstorming with her about their long friendship.
Meredith, thank you for the stunning cover.
Kiki, I’m so glad I found you to be my editor. I loved working with you on this book and look forward to doing it again soon.
Jen Walter participated in a Facebook takeover I did in the MM Hockey Romance group, and she suggested the name Arsenal for Kyle’s team. There were many great names thrown out, but Arsenal was the one. Thanks, Jen! (And, hey, if you’re reading this and you’re not in the MM Hockey Romance group, come join us!)
I wrote this book while I was a student in Rachael Herron’s 90 Days to Done online course. I learned some great stuff during those twelve weeks to hone my craft. Thanks to Rachael and my classmates for being amazing. I loved working alongside you all as you wrote your own books (which I can’t wait to read). They, along with my husband Will, helped me figure out some key events in the fourth act of Keeping Kyle, and I’m grateful to them!
Most importantly, thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed Kyle and Austin’s story!
