Thanks to Radclyffe and the entire Bold Strokes Books team for taking a chance on me and my fledgling attempt to tell a story. All the hours spent staring at the blinking cursor on my computer screen finally paid off. I hope this book will be the first of many more to come.
Thank you also to Rashida and Destiny, the main characters who sometimes insisted—often quite loudly and usually in the middle of the night—on telling me exactly how they wanted to be portrayed in the pages that follow. I hope I’ve done them justice. If not, I’m sure they’ll make a point to tell me about it later.
Last but not least, thank you to the readers. Your date with destiny awaits. Fingers crossed it’s a good one.
