Pre-Order ONE TOUCH here!
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First (and always) to my dear sweet husband who never reads my books but also never questions me when I demand we try something out “for research.” Sometimes it’s sexy and sometimes it’s seeing how long it would take a seven-year-old to dig a hole in the backyard. Dang, our kid was fast . . . I’m calling her if we ever “get into trouble.”
A HUGE thank you to my friend and assistant Steph. You stepped into the middle of my mess with a smile and have worked so hard to jump right in! It was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it and I am so grateful for you. Plus, I have the added bonus of having someone who truly understands my hatred for that freaking YouTube channel.
To the incredible author friends I have made…Laura, Ana, Melanie, Catherine, Harloe, and SO many others that provide encouragement, laughs, and company in what can sometimes feel like a really lonely job! While we may be scattered around the country, when we’re together, watch out! I can’t wait for us all to be together again.
Hey, Elsie! Jake kind of annoyed me right before I wrote this, so if you still want to run away together, I’m in.
What would this world be without Kandi Steiner? Pretty damn sad, if you ask me. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve your love and friendship, but I will protect it fiercely. You are the sweetest soul and if anyone ever looks up “pure goodness” in the dictionary, they’re going to see your hot ass right there. I would say I want to be you when I grow up, but we all know I’m the old lady of the group so . . . cool. ILYSM!
To my friends Nicole and Jenn - thank you for understanding that sometimes I can’t escape my books and I forget to talk about anything else.
Trinity - are you stalking me? Honestly, I think you’re right…maybe it was me who slid into your DMs. Either way, I’m SO happy we connected. Your enthusiasm, laugh, and general positivity is food for my soul.
To my very, very patient editors James, Becca, and Laeticia - I would be lost without you. Thank you for being flexible with your time, especially when I tell you I am nearly a month early on my deadline and then come back and tell you I changed a third of the book. You all push me to be better and I am forever grateful.
To the incredible group of women behind the scenes, the Vixens! You are the most incredible, enthusiastic, and loving street team I could ever ask for. My goal was to create a group where people would be welcomed, excited, and have a good time. YOU did that. Thank you for helping to get the word out about Daddy Wyatt.
Dear sweet small town romance reader - you are the reason I do what I do. Thank you for taking time away from school drop off, dirty dishes, late night TV, and the million other responsibilities to escape into my stories. I don’t care that your houses might be messy or that you’re a little tired. I only care that my stories can bring you happiness. Your comments, posts, reels, TikTok’s, reviews, and DMs fill my cup! Thank you for letting me know the ways my characters have touched your life.
Finally, to Eggburt - May you rest in peace.
