Every book is the book of a writer’s heart, but this one is kind of special—a little bit of home, a little bit of elsewhere, and a lot of escapism, all rolled into a sweet, hot, and beachy story that was tons of fun to write.
Thank you to everyone who helped me bring it to life:
My editorial readers LaVerne, Lissa, Lauren, and Paula, for your insights, encouragement, and enthusiasm.
The Unicorn girls, for all things American.
Jackie, Sherilee, and Nicki, my fellow runaway writers, for road trips, real talk, and things to look forward to.
Adam, for your unwavering certainty…and for being sweet, hot, and beachy too.
And to all the readers who’ve bought my books, left reviews, shared with friends, and sent me messages—thank you for coming with me on this adventure!
