TO MY DARLING NON-HUSBAND Ben, you are my everything!

Ava Rose and Ari Danger, I love you more than the sun, and more than the stars, and more than the moon, and more than Mars, and way more than ... chickens!

To my gorgeous family, I love you!

To my beautiful beta readers: Kristina Zolnar, Ali Hymer, Anne Dawson, and Kristine Barakat, I FREKING LOVE ALL OF YOU like Levi loves his ... well, you know. Thank you for having faith in me when I sometimes don’t. Thank you for being willing to read at a moments notice, and for loving my words—and sometimes not loving them. Thank you for helping me be a better writer!

Alleskelle Fraser a huge, heartfelt thank you for helping me not butcher the French language. Your feedback and corrections were invaluable, and I can’t thank you enough.

Becky from Hot Tree Editing, thank you for pushing me to give a little bit more, for your wisdom, patience, and encouragement. I absolutely loved working with you on CLOSER and I hope we can pay together again in the future.

Ben from Be Designs, this cover is perfection, like everything you do! Please never stop being my cover designer extraordinaire, all-round graphics guy, and my ideas man! I ADORE YOU!

And finally, a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to the readers! I never expected to be able to explore so many worlds with my writing, to meet so many amazing people—both real and fictional—nor did I expect that six years after beginning my writing career I’d have people reading my books and loving the worlds I’ve created as much as I do. I’m blown away every day by your love and support.
