A quick word on the content: Gabi’s ex-husband’s behavior is pulled straight from a relationship I survived with a narcissistic abuser, including actual texts. Her embarrassment and reluctance to tell anyone about it is a reflection of my own behavior at the time. Writing this book was an important catharsis for me that allowed me to open up more, understand the disorder, and heal. I write more about this in an upcoming book in The Baxter Boys Series. If you are in a relationship with a narcissistic abuser and need help, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Emotional abuse is abuse.
Gabi and Mason’s book would not have happened without the constant encouragement of my friends and family who insisted I continue the Adams Brothers series. I owe my thanks to so many people.
First, to my dear husband Scott, who feeds me in every way possible. I love you forever. Thank you for loving me so fiercely and for making sure I eat regular meals.
To my loving parents, sister, and nephews-you are my foundation and my love for you knows no bounds. Thank you for always lifting me up and having my back.
To my beautiful friends Axelle, Sarah, and Amy whose encouragement and belief in me from the beginning were instrumental in making all of this happen. I would not have written a single word without you.
To the lovely and extraordinarily talented Melissa Keir at Inkspell Publishing who fields my endless questions with the patience of a saint, thank you for believing in me, you’ve made my dreams come true.
To Najla Qamber, who continues to stun me with her beautiful cover designs. And my editor, Yezanira Venecia, whose kindness and keen eye for detail both large and small, has made my manuscripts shine. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
To my wonderful supporters and friends I have met in the writing world, some of whom I’ve never met in person, but continue to hype me up in ways that amaze me. You are the best of people Bernadette Jones, Sadie Mayfield, and A. Lee Hughes and I am happy to know you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
