Acknowledgments

Thank you, Stacy for pushing me, for making my words better, for not getting tired of me soft peddling the conflict or trying to skip right past it—for making me dig deeper to include it so the story is richer and better. Thank you everyone at Entangled for the work that went into making this book. I’m so excited to be going back to my Bliss roots. Thank you, Bree for my perfect cover. I love it.

Thank you, Fran. For having my back. Always. To my writer friends who I lean on (re: complain to), thank you for listening. For caring. Thank you, Nicole. It’s hard for me to make decisions but you are one of the best I’ve made.

Thank you, readers. Because of you, I can write more books. Because of you, I feel like my words have found a home. Thank you for letting me tell my stories and for wanting to read them.

To my family, last on here but always and forever first. You are everything. And you make me feel like I am something. I love you more.
