Acknowledgments
They say it takes a village to raise a child. It also takes a village to write a book! There’s no way I could have made this story happen without help from a LOT of people. I’m eternally humbled by and grateful for the community of authors, readers, friends, and fans that I’m a part of. Y’all are rock stars, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.
Huge, enormous, never-ending thanks to my right hand woman, Jodi. I gave her a really shitty first draft of this book, and she gave me amazing ideas and a clear path forward to a story I’m now really proud of. She always goes above and beyond in all that she does, and I am so lucky she’s a part of my team.
Many thanks to my incredible beta readers—Quinn, Heather, Julia, and Monica. I was awed, as always, by your dedication to making this story and these characters shine. You guys all have a serious talent for the written word, and this book would be riddled with typos and inconsistencies if it weren’t for y’all. Thank you!
Thanks to all my amazingly talented, always generous author friends. There are too many to list here, but know that I appreciate all that you for me and my books. Y’all continue to be such an inspiration.
Thanks to my cover artist, Najla Qamber, for knocking it out of the park AGAIN with this cover. I’m so excited to see what you come up with for future projects!
Thanks to my editor, Kristin Anders, for your patience with my ever-evolving process. Tandy Boese, thank you for your amazing copy edit!
Thanks to David Wagner, the photographer who provided the cover model for this book, and to Taylor Napier, the model himself.
Thanks to awesome my City Girl Group Admins, Monica, Jodi, Raquel, and Ingrid for holding down the fort while I wrote this book.
Thanks to Mika Jolie for helping me with my nonexistent French. I’m in awe of your language skills!
Finally, I’d like to thank my family, my friends, and you—my readers. The past year has been an exciting one in my author career, and it’s all because of you. THANK YOU for all the love you’ve shown my books. It means the world to me. I’m having an absolute blast writing this series, and I sincerely hope you’re having a blast reading it!
