  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  MY BETA TEAM. THEY, in their own specific ways, contribute selflessly to my work. Bianca’s motivational daily texts. “You better be writing.” If she had Rachel’s stalking skills, I’d be in trouble. I let Talon beta because she frightens me. Thankfully, no milking in this book or she’d murder me—in real life, not fictionally. Natasha lets me know what is inside my novels with pure reader’s insight. All of them add something unique.

  Megan Cooke. I’ve said this before, but it needs repeated. I cannot write a book without you. For those who are unaware, Megan sends me tens of thousands of notes. From what she’s feeling while reading to where she wants more, her attention to the fine minutia of my writing is vital to my stories and characters. Her purple words make black ones better. The time and dedication she devotes her beta process is uncanny.

  If you love my books, then thank them.

  Thank you to all of the honeybees in my Take the Bait reader’s group. You keep my life interesting and fun, which is needed when you write angst. This shit makes a girl crazy, and you’re always there to make me smile. I can’t wait to meet and squeeze every one of you. It’s a personal goal of mine.

  FTN ladies, you are my tribe.

  JJL ladies, I can’t do shit if you’re not around to tell me if I’m doing it right. None of this would be any fun if I was experiencing every day in this crazy world without you. You cry with me. Laugh with me. And love me for me. I love you for you, too.

  Aly is my aggressive top, but she gives damn good back scratches from her roost.

  Chelle, you rock. End of. I want to be you when I grow my hair out.

  Bloggers, your support and general enthusiasm for my books still shocks the hell out of me. Every share, every review, every comment I receive from you makes me want to do better and please you more.

  I love my readers like I love each page in this book—completely. You and these pages are my dreams come true.

  Hang Le, Stacey Blake, and Skye J. Callahan, working with you ladies is a blessing. You’re professional and top shelf in our industry.

  To Danny, my friends, and my family you never fail to cheer me on, even when I’m a total pain in the ass. Even when writing and the book world is all I can think about. Even when I stink, I’m hungry and tired, and when I neglect you. You always let me know how proud you are of my books, and it means the world to me.

  ABOUT M MABIE

  M. Mabie is a writer who made thousands of readers hate to love (and love to hate) the angst-filled contemporary romance, Bait.

  Mabie lives in Illinois with her husband. She writes unconventional love stories and tries to embody "real-life romance." She cares about politics but will not discuss them in public. She uses the same fork at every meal, watches Wayne's World while cleaning, and lets her dog sleep on her head.

  She has always been a writer. In fact, she was born with a pen in her hand, which almost never happens. Almost. M. Mabie usually doesn't speak in third-person.

  She promises.
