Dear Reader,

I’m sure at some point in life, we’ve all had a moment or two of feeling second best. Maybe it’s a sibling or a friend or even a rival who has come out on top while we’re stuck at the bottom.

My heroine, Kelsey Wilson, has felt this way her whole life, having grown up in her perfect cousin Emily’s shadow. It takes Connor McClane, Emily’s wonderfully imperfect ex-boyfriend, to bring Kelsey into the spotlight.

I hope you enjoy Kelsey and Connor’s story, and here’s to all the people in our lives who help us shine.

Happy reading,

Stacy Connelly
