  Acknowledgement

  I’m so happy to finally be able to share the next instalment in the Blood Series. Cross My Heart ended up being a longer work in progress than Blood Secrets was. It was never my intention to take so long to write this boo, but I do hope you find it worth the wait.

  Firstly, I want to thank my friend and editor, Zee Monodee who – as always – is full of positivity and support. Once again, she has worked her magic and calmed my inner doubt. Thank you, Zee.

  Fiona Jayde, I cannot thank you enough for taking on the challenge of designing the next cover in the Blood Series. I seriously love it.

  And lastly and most importantly; my readers, old and new, thank you for taking a chance on my work. Thank you for your patience in regard to this book and well, just in general. I appreciate your support and understanding. I hope you found Cross My Heart worth the wait and are as excited as I am for the final instalment, which I have already started and am aiming to finish sooner than the last two books.

  Thank you for your ongoing support, your comments, and your reviews; just thank you. You are truly wonderful, and I hope from the bottom of my heart that you continue to trust in my creative insanity and enjoy my stories.
