Saya: I don’t have enough white pages to write what you mean to me. This story bloomed because of your artful editing, your tough criticism, and your wise follow through. Shane, Jacob, and Gavin are grateful.
Mom: Thank you for teaching me the value and importance of being a strong woman that can land on her feet no matter the obstacle. Shane lives within you and ALL women.
Annette: Without you and the guidance from my mom, I would have never been able to feel the true meaning of success and cherish the bond of womanly love.
Maryann (MIL): Your enthusiasm, support, and unconditional love made this book possible. And, of course, your amazing chocolate chip cookies that comforted me through the hard times and your wonderful voice of encouragement to help me overcome the fears of putting this book out. Love you!
My family and friends: Thank you for putting up with my disappearing act and angst over this book. Your patience and long talks on the phone made me never give up!
Emma, Robin, and MPP: Whoa. I have no words. You opened your hearts and wisdom to someone who fell in love with your books (and art…and hysterical online commentary) and took me in with no question. Without the ‘entourage’ (and Jonah *swoon*), I would still be lost. Thank you for sharing your universe. <3
The ladies of the TRRW: This is only the beginning and through your advice, business smarts, and intellect, I shall one day soar with you.
And to my fellow authors, bloggers, readers, and online friends: You changed my world and helped me see the big picture to happiness and life. Your encouragement, your laughs, and your support mean everything to a gal just starting out. Cheers to your successes and always remember: Love is Power.
About the Author
Nicky’s emotionally rich, vibrant stories are set in cities that thrum with energy. Her heroines come up against personal and professional challenges, and are pushed to break new ground and become better versions of themselves. Nicky gives her characters just the right amount of conflict to create a satisfying push and pull, one that keeps her readers up late at night, wanting to know what happens next.
As a writer, Nicky imbues each of her stories with equal parts love and lust, which she believes are among the strongest emotions we can experience. By immersing her readers into worlds of power and erotic passion, she invites them to explore their own unspoken desires. Her hope is that her stories embolden her readers to realize their fullest potential — be it in the boardroom, the bedroom, or anywhere in between.
