Always first, I would like to thank my friend and agent, Cori Deyoe, for encouraging me to take leaps and try new things, and for having my back no matter what happens.
This book literally never would have happened without the vision, belief, and help of the amazing Claudia Gabel, Melissa Miller, and Katherine Tegen. Thank you to all of my wonderful HarperCollins family, especially Joel Tippie, Kathryn Silsand, Valerie Shea, Roseanne Romanello, Lauren Flower, and Alana Whitman.
Thank you to Scott Brown and Alex Tison, for helping me choreograph Nikki’s badass fight scenes (“Do it again, only slower”), and to Paige Wood for helping take notes while I was on the ground patting out (“Did you get that?”).
As always, thank you to my family and friends for forever supporting me. Scott, Paige, Weston, Rand, and Preston, I love you all.
And thank you, dear readers, for following me into my colorful make-believe worlds. You are my rainbow, and you are beautiful!
