Thirteen years ago I had a meeting with a man who had a simple, yet complex show idea centered on the one subject that everybody can relate to: love. Without my good friend Mike Fleiss, and my entire Bachelor family (both in front of the camera and behind it), this book and this life would’ve never been possible.
Just a few years ago, I had the opportunity to have an amazing conversation with the man I consider to be the godfather of the fictional romance genre, Nicholas Sparks. What seemed like a casual conversation gave me the inspiration to take a chance, put pen to paper and write this book. Thank you, Nicholas.
Nobody in this business makes it alone. I have an amazing team behind me every step of the way. Thank you to Becky, Brittany, and Richard, and everyone at WME, 3 Arts, and HarperCollins for believing in me.
Last, but certainly not least, I have to say thank you to Bachelor Nation. You are the most devoted, passionate, and loyal fan base of any show on television. All of you were in my heart and mind as I wrote this love story. And now I will take a moment and say my good-byes!
