Author’s Note

Dear Readers,

Thank you so much for buying this book. You are the reason I collapse into my chair every morning, after my bicycle ride, and turn on the computer. It’s an exciting time for me at the moment in my career, moving from lighter to darker women’s fiction. It means everything to know my stories are finding their way into the hands of old and new readers.

When I was younger I had a friend like Bella. Sometimes she still gets in touch and tries to influence the life I have now. So this story comes from a very personal place. If you’ve enjoyed it an Amazon review would be fantastic, without revealing Bella’s secret. Those reviews really help books become more visible and I appreciate feedback so much.

I hope none of you have friends similar to Bella but if you do, please, don’t be afraid to tell someone about them.

Take care.

Samantha
