That Second Chance (Getting Lucky #1)(102)

But I couldn’t have done it without a gang of well-wishers and vastly intelligent women behind me, fueling my need to produce this story.

Kimberly Brower and Aimee Ashcroft, my agents, thank you for having faith in me as an author as I threw idea after idea at you, and thank you for helping me shape those ideas into an actual story. Aimee, huge thanks to you for holding my hand when my face blanched and my mind went blank at the mention of a “family legend” twist. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Huge thank-you to Lauren Plude for having the confidence in me to take me on as a Montlake author. My dream was to be a part of the Montlake family, and you made that come true with a wonderful friendship and the utmost love for my stories. Thank you.

Lindsay Farber, I’m pretty sure you told me I was amazing at least twenty times on our first conference call. Guess what? You’re amazing. Thank you for helping me dig deeper.

Dani Sanchez, I don’t know why you put up with me, but thank you for always answering my crazy messages and going above and beyond your publicist duties.

To the bloggers and readers, I don’t even know how to express my deepest love for you. You take a chance on my books every time I release; that is something I could never show enough gratitude for. Thank you for being the best fans a girl could ask for. You make this job so much fun!

I would be remiss not to mention my best friend in all of this. Thank you, Jenny, for handling everything behind the scenes, encouraging me, and being excited whenever I tell you about a new idea. Number one fan for life!

And lastly, thank you to my wife, Steph, for being my backbone, the girl behind the girl, and the best mother/wife a lady could ask for. Without you taking care of our son and supporting me in so many ways, I would never be able to do what I do. You are the reason I’ve been able to accomplish my dreams. Thank you.
