Acknowledgements

This book would not have been possible without the love and support of my friends and family, both irl and online, old and new.

A special thank you to Purple, my encyclopedia; Max, my real life Dorian; and the AGA server, my support system. You made me feel like I had a story worth telling, and actively encouraged me to share it with the world. 

Thank you to my editor, Kat Mototsune, who looked at a manuscript and saw potential, despite the word count!

Thank you to Elizabeth and Allanah, for being willing to beta my work when it was nearly twice as long as it is now! And thanks to Andre, Xander and Aurora for being my cheering squad!

Most importantly, thank you, the reader, who picked up this book and wanted to see where it would take you. I hope you enjoyed reading about Tristan and Dorian and that you carry their journeys with you. It’s readers like you who inspire me to continue writing!
