Acknowledgments

Return All was such a pleasure to write. I sat down three months ago and the words just flowed. I never set out to write a bummer and I never intend to write a ‘happy’ book either. It’s how it all shakes out, but I think Return All is one of my lightest happiest novels. A real basque cheesecake of a romance. A huge part of that was addressing my creative burnout and being able to focus on writing full-time. For everything else, I blame the perfect people and things listed below.

Phillip Wakefield. You cut all my jokes about dogecoin, but I couldn’t have done any of this without you <3

Timothy James Clancy. Twelve years this March and you still surprise me. Mostly with how much you know about obscure military practices.

Kole, Nix and Courtenay. Thank you for being such fastidious editors and lovely humans.

Hand Grenade Armiento AKA Andy the Cocker Spaniel. Mama loves you.

Eric. Thank you for allowing me to recoup some of your perfectness for Chase. You’re so goddamn funny, handsome, and smart. It’s a pleasure to count you among my closest friends, lockdown was tolerable because of you guys. Tequila shots forever.

Mike. The handsomest Kiwi. I look forward to stealing your personality in the next book you symmetrical fuck.

Claire Geneva Manchester United Shinners. Always Claire Bear. Always.

Louise Falls. Love always, my buddy. Stop eating our young! And it’s pronounced guacamole!

Adriene from Yoga with Adriene, Byron Katie, Wim Hof. Thanks for the tools.

T2’s red choc mint tea. The tea that broke the back of my caffeine addiction and has led to the best sleep of my life.

To my fans and readers, bloggers, social media heads, romance junkies, and fellow authors. Your support means more than I can ever say. You truly are making my dreams come true. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
