Wow! I can’t believe this series has come to an end. I can’t lie; this is bittersweet. Melanie and Damien, Tiana and Nathaniel, and Charlotte and Jacob have become my friends. I have real friends, I promise, but it’s so hard to say good-bye. In fact, I’m listening to the Boyz II Men song right now.
The Crush On You series wouldn’t exist without the help of others, and as I close out this series I have a lot of people to thank, so bear with me.
First and foremost, I’d like to give honor to God. Without his added strength, I would’ve given up on my dream of being published a long time ago. Thanks to the Crimson Romance family for giving me a chance. Jess, I’ll miss your hilarious comments on tracked changes.
To my husband, Jason—thank you for believing in me. To my mother, who cultivated my love for reading and writing.
To my critique partners (I have a lot of them) Connie Gilliam, Ison Hill, Mary Marvella, and Pamela Varnado—thanks for making me a stronger writer. Thank you, Annie Oortman, for encouraging me to dig deeper.
To my cousin and number one beta reader, Charidee—thank you for being honest and making my stories better.
To my family, who harasses their coworkers and friends to buy my books. Special shout-out to my father and stepmother. And to my cousins, Shameka, Brittany, and Gia, and my aunts Wilma, Shirley, and Laine.
To all my family and friends who supported me through social media, word of mouth, or just checking in on me—I love and appreciate all of you.
And last, but certainly not least, thank you, dear reader. Your kind words, feedback, and reviews fuel me to keep going. I hope you were entertained!
