Never in a million years did I expect to find my husband on a cruise. Sure, this particular one promised I’d meet my perfect match, but there was no guarantee we would fall for one another. Part of me fought the idea of being in love again, especially since my heart was still healing. But if I’ve learned anything from this experience, it’s that love will find you when you least expect it. It will knock you on your ass and show no mercy. Most importantly, it will rock you to your core. Without a shadow of a doubt, I’ve been rocked.
Gia Riley is from the small, but mighty state of Delaware. She’s a lover of all things romance—a firm believer that everyone deserves their happily ever after.
When she’s not writing, you can find her roaming the aisles of Kirkland’s, up to her elbows in Play-doh, or trying to hunt down spoilers for her favorite TV shows. She loves reality TV almost as much as she loves a good chick flick. She’s newly addicted to Starbucks and the revolving menu of specialty drinks.

First of all, I want to thank you for taking a chance on a girl from the country with a dream to write. Without you, none of this would be possible. I’ve had a chance to meet some of you at various signings, and your enthusiasm is what fuels me.
To the creative forces behind Rock the Boat:
Sommer Stein of Perfect Pear Creative Covers, this book came to life as soon as I saw the design. I get these wild ideas sometimes and you always manage to create the most beautiful art. I can’t thank you enough for your impeccable style and for framing my words so perfectly.
Christine Borgford of Perfectly Publishable, no matter what my concept may be, you manage to create it visually, always blowing me away with your special touch. Thank you for your attention to detail and amazing eye.
Sassy Savvy PR & Marketing—Linda, you get me. That in itself is worth every penny. But most importantly, you’re a wonderful person with a giving heart. Thank you for sending gifs to make me laugh and for being so enthusiastic about my books. Not only are you my PR goddess, you’re my friend. Here’s to never ending shenanigans.
To every blogger who has supported me—thank you for taking the time to promote my work. A simple post or shout out makes my entire day. Always remember, no matter how big or small you are, your voice matters! Thank you for all you do.
To my Bitchesnachos—thank you for pushing me to find my inner dirty bird. Without your encouragement, I’m positive P4D wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. Most importantly, thank you for being the best friends a girl could ask for.
My betas:
Tina, you’ve been with me since the very beginning, pushing me to keep going after my dreams. I can’t thank you enough for your friendship and your support. Whether it’s about books or life, I can always count on you. Thank you.
Kelly, thank you for your brain storm sessions at all hours of the day. I can’t thank you enough for taking time out of your busy day to help me. Your honesty is appreciated and your laughter much needed.
Ladies, what I’m trying to say is, some people come into your life for a reason. I’m blessed to have met you both.
To my parents—thank you for always believing in me. Ever since I was little, coming up with crazy ideas, you’ve never once told me my dream was too big. Whether I was sucking it up in the outfield or succeeding on the infield, you’ve always been my biggest cheerleaders. You gave me the belief in myself.
And finally, my husband and son. Our journey is different than most, but it’s ours. Thank you for supporting me when I have a deadline and I’m cranky. Thank you for ordering take-out when I’m stressed. It’s knowing you’re proud of me that makes what I do so much fun. I love you both.
