Being Alpha

  To My Readers

  Thank you so much for reading the Alpha Girl Series! This book was so fun to write. It defied plotting. Every time I sat down at my computer, the story took a different direction. I had a blast, and I hope you enjoyed reading.

  I’m working on what’s going to happen with Chris and Cosette now! When Eli’s involved, you know it’s going to be a crazy ride, but it’ll be worth it in the end. ;)

  Until next time, I’ll be posting updates on my books on my blog, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Goodreads. I absolutely love hearing from you. So, please reach out!

  Acknowledgments

  I have to say that the last few years have been totally nuts. A baby lost. A baby born. FIVE moves—out of state, out of country. Business partners coming and going. Oh boy! It’s been a doozy. But this book marks me being all caught up! Huzzah! And I have a lot of people to thank for that.

  Thank you to Lola Dodge for all the support and encouragement. Working with you is so fun! I can’t wait to see what the next few years have in store for us! #winning

  Thank you for your constant, unwavering support, Kristi! From always being the amazing grandmother to Isabella, coming in to help out while I write and take seminars, helping with moves, and copyediting my books. I’m truly thankful for the family that I married into. I count myself very blessed to have you as my mother-in-law.

  To Kelly, Ana, Katie, Allison, and all the rest at INscribe, thank you for all your hard work! Your support of Ink Monster and our books is invaluable.

  Thank you, Kime! You came in last minute to edit my book, and I’m so thankful for the help and support. Your comments made this book shine, and left me feeling so encouraged. Words cannot express how thankful I am that you.

  To Jeremy. Thank you. I can’t say it enough. Your support and positive attitude… It’s everything. You’re the glue that holds this family together. I wouldn’t have even tried writing if it weren’t for you, and I would’ve given up long ago if you did keep pushing me to do better and keep going. I love you so much. I’m so proud of you and everything you’re doing. You’re the most amazing partner, husband, and father.
