My beta readers for this crazy journey: Angie, Crystal, Sandy, Kathy, Jennifer, Teresa, Michelle, KA, Cassandra, Heather, Tami, Misty, Treena, and Sasha. Thank you for offering feedback and for not being afraid to tell me when something sucked. That’s hard to find and I love you for it.
I would’ve never been able to make Val sound authentic without the invaluable translation expertise of Michelle Rios-Velasco, Ginger Snaps, and Guadalupe Hernandez. Thank you both for making Val’s dialect JUST right, and for not laughing at me when I mucked it all up.
Bite Me Graphic Design, the cover for this book is spectacular. You outdid yourself with design and the WOW factor. You have my business from now until eternity.
Rebekah Zink, Give Me Books, and the entire staff at Red Coat PR, you both make my life easier and stress free. Thank you for all you do for your authors.
To my street team, Cora’s Dark Angels, and my admins, Misty and Heather. You guys keep me sane, laughing, and surrounded in love and support. You have my heart, just as I know you have my back.
To my husband and children, thank you for again, for putting up with the late nights and fast food dinners. It’s not easy living with a writer, and I wish I could say it’ll get easier. I wish I could say it, but I won’t, because it won’t. Once you find something you love to do, the sky is the limit. You’re only held back by your own fear of success. Buckle up and prepare for the ride…the madness has only just begun.
To my Mom. You know. You just know. Thank you for seeing the stars, grabbing one, and holding it for me until I believed in myself enough to know I belonged among them.
Lastly, thank you to the bloggers and readers for taking a chance on an indie author. Thank you for sharing my cover reveals and releases, reading my ARCs, and leaving reviews. As always, without you, I’m just a chick with a laptop.
About the Author
Cora Kenborn writes contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels with strong heroines, loveable bad boys, lots of danger, and snarky banter. She loves delving into the mind of a dark villain as well as giggling while writing light-hearted rom-com.
Cora gets a kick out of talking about herself in the third person and is a true Southern girl from Eastern North Carolina, who grew up on sweet tea, front porches, and the simple life. She says “y’all,” “fixin’ to,” and should you deserve it, will “bless your heart.” She’s the proud mother of three hyperactive and occasionally adorable children, and the wife of a husband who tolerates her chaotic writer’s cave.
Although reading is her passion, she can usually be found watching true crime shows and crafting inspiration for twisted new tales. Cora admits to being a horrible cook, an even worse baker, and believes she’s more dangerous with a hot glue gun than any weapon on earth. Oh, and she and autocorrect are mortal enemies.
