The Casey Clan has become like family after all this time, but thank you to my Bold Strokes family for the encouragement and support you give me every step of the way. Thank you, Radclyffe, for your advice, support, and for the chance to bring these characters to life all those years ago.
Thank you to Shelley Thrasher, my editor. Shelley’s been my teacher and my friend, so I appreciate the patience she always shows in getting me over the finish line.
Thank you to my fellow BSB author D. Jackson Leigh for her tremendous help with this book—you’re a great friend and love these characters as much as I do. Thank you to Cris Perez-Soria for volunteering to beta for this book—you knocked the job out of the park. Thank you to Connie Ward—you’ve been there from the beginning, and I appreciate you always answering the call. I also want to thank the BSB team that does such a great job in making every project a success. Thank you to Sheri for another great cover.
This series has been such an adventure from the beginning to this book. It’s always humbling to get the emails from you, the readers, to continue the storyline, so thank you all for that. Please know that your encouragement is something I not only find humbling, but deeply appreciate. Thank you all, and as always, every word is written with you in mind.
Life is so different since the release of the first book in the series, and unfortunately the changes have revolved around so much loss. It would’ve been impossible to see the beauty and joy that is still around me after all that pain without the one constant in my life—my best friend. I love you, C. Verdad!
