Acknowledgments
To my rockstar agent, Sarah Younger, thank you for everything you do. You’re the best and I am so beyond lucky to have you in my corner.
To my fabulous editor, Nicole Fischer, thank you, thank you, thank you! I cherish your insight, support, and for helping to shape this book into what it is.
Thank you to the entire team at Avon/HarperCollins. The work you do behind the scenes to bring these books to life and get them into the hands of readers is nothing short of magic. I want to give a special shoutout the design team, Ashley Caswell and Elizaveta Rusalskaya, for creating such stunning covers.
As much as my books are obviously about romantic love and relationships, they’re also about the importance of found family and friendships. Rompire—Anna, Amy, Em, Julia, Lana, Lisa, and Megan—I cannot thank you enough for your support, your cheerleading, and your friendship. Hugs! To S., R., A., C., M., G., A., and J.—some of you entered into my life for a season, a reason, or a lifetime, but you all taught me what friendship means and helped me learn a little （some of you, a lot） about myself. I will cherish you and those lessons for the rest of my life.
Mom, thank you. Unlike several of the characters in this series, I feel so very fortunate to have an amazing and supportive mom. I could write a whole book about how much I appreciate you and everything you do and it still wouldn’t be long enough. Love you!
To my fur baby, Samantha, I’ve been so blessed to have you in my life for the last twenty years. You can be a little monster, but I wouldn’t have you any other way.
To the reviewers, book bloggers, bookstagrammers, booktokkers, and booksellers, thank you for the tireless, and too often thankless, work you do for this community. Romance would not be the same without you.
Last but not least, I want to thank my readers. Words can’t do justice to how much I appreciate each and every one of you. Your comments, messages, and emails mean the world to me. Thank you for choosing to read my books and spend your time with my words and characters. It’s an honor.
