Author’s Note

You guys have no idea how much fun it was to dive back into the college hockey world with The Chase. Plus, I got to get reacquainted with my hockey-playing hotties and some very cool chicks who I’ve been dying to introduce everyone to! As always, putting this book in your hands was not a solo effort. It would not have been possible without the help of some very amazing people:

Edie Danford, for whipping this manuscript into shape (and forever branding the phrase frightened turtle/genital simile into my brain).

Sarina, Nikki, and Gwen, beta readers, friends, and just overall sexy ladies.

Aquila Editing, for proofing this book (I’m so sorry for all the typos!!)

Connor McCarthy—my personal college hockey player who endured so many questions (most of them random and a little insane) and answered them like the champ he is. Thank you so, so much for all your help, dude. It meant the world to me. I hope your girlfriend likes the book!

Viv, just because.

Nicole—assistant extraordinaire. Holy moly, you continue to amaze me with your support, efficiency, work ethic, general awesomeness, and how you never blink at even my craziest requests

Tash—assistant, bestie, beastie, breastie, lifeline, therapist, shopping enabler, eye-roll soulmate. You are everything.

Nina—my angel from heaven. I’m sorry for all the candles you have to light for me. We both know I wouldn’t survive with you.

Natasha and Vilma, for your continued support. It means everything.

Damonza.com for the absolutely stunning cover!

My author friends (you know who you are! Pssst, Vi!) for sharing this release and offering love and support for the series. Love you guys!

And of course, the bloggers, reviewers and readers who continue to spread the word about my books. I am so thankful for each and every one of you. Thank you for taking the time and doing all that you do.

Love,

Elle
