Never Tied Down (The Never Duet #2)(79)

“I’d like that,” she breathed.

“I’d like to take you back into that candlelit bedroom and make love to my fiancée,” I said quietly.

“I’d like that too.”

I kissed her, then swept my arm under her knees and carried her back to the bed, looking forward to the rest of my life spent admiring the view of Kalli Bentley.



The End



Acknowledgements


Kalli and Riot’s story was a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me. Never Standing Still came with its own hurdles, but I never anticipated the kind of cathartic release I would get when it came time for Kalli to speak with her father. I, truly, never saw that coming; could not have been prepared for the copious amounts of tears shed or the way Kalli’s story went a little ways to heal a part of me that will probably always be a little bit broken. So I guess I’d like to thank anyone who read the book and could relate to Kalli in that way. And I’d like to offer you big hugs too.

To Andrea and Kelly, again, you continually blow me away with your generosity in time and effort. It’s such a relief to me to know you’ll do everything you can, every time, to help me make my books the best they can be.

To Olivia, you’ve edited a few of my books now and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your thoughtful and immensely helpful wisdom. You did a great job on this book, and it’s 100% better for all your work. Thank you. A huge thanks to everyone else at Hot Tree Editing who had a hand (or eyes) on this book. I am forever grateful.

Enticing Journey Book Promotions – you gals rock. Thank you for always supporting me and being so professional.

I have to thank Lindy again, and all the ladies in the Sprinters group, for helping me write this book, every day. I love having such a supportive group of writers around me, who understand that writing X amount of words a day is not easy all the time (…or most of the time…).

Thanks to my family for letting me hide in my room as soon as dinner is over, and for understanding that my work is real work too.

And finally, Giselle, thank you for your time and knowledge you so graciously shared with me. Your years spent in LA and on the Paramount lot came in real handy! Love you!
