The Atonement (The Arrangement, #3)(63)

To my bestie, Emerald O’Brien—thank you for always knowing what to say or what question to ask. Thank you for talking me through this series as I created it, for encouraging me to write the second, and eventually the third book when I wasn’t sure, and for being the absolute best friend anyone could ask for. Love you, friend.

To my immensely talented editor, Sarah West—thank you for always seeing the vision and helping me to perfect it.

To the proofreading team at My Brother’s Editor—thank you for giving my stories their final polish.

To my loyal readers (AKA the #KMod Squad)—I could never thank you enough for making my wildest dreams come true. For every email, social media post, review, recommendation to your friends, bookstore order, KU download, and so much more. You guys keep me going on my worst day. I’m so grateful for your support, encouragement, and belief in me. Thank you for loving Peter and Ainsley from the start and for begging for more! This trilogy exists because of you.

To my book club—Sara, both Erins, June, Heather, Dee, and Rhonda—thank you for being the ones I can talk to about anything and everything, and the ones who make me laugh no matter what. I’m so thankful for our amazing group and for your friendship. Love you, girls.

To my agent, Carly Watters, thank you for believing in me and my stories, and for helping to get them in front of new readers.

Last but certainly not least, to you—thank you for purchasing this book and supporting my art. Growing up, I dreamed that someday someone would pick up a book with my name on the cover, crack it open, and discover a world entirely of my own creation. With this purchase, you made my dream come true. I’m so very grateful for you. Whether this is your first KMod book or your 33rd, I hope it was everything you hoped for and nothing like you expected.
