As always, I want to thank my readers first. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for continuing to read my words and trusting me with your hearts and minds, even though you probably shouldn’t. I love you all so much, and words can’t describe how grateful I am for each and every one of you.
Secondly, I have to thank one of my biggest support systems, Victor. You’re my partner in crime, in life, and let’s be honest—in death, too. Thank you for being the glue that keeps me together. I quite literally would’ve fallen apart without you.
Thank you to my incredible alpha readers, May, Amanda, and Tasha. You three are my rocks. None of my books would be what they are without you and would definitely be straight trash lit on fire. I love you guys so so much.
Thank you to my beta readers, Autumn, Taylor, Keri, Naomi, and Kristie. You guys are the bomb diggity. And special thanks to Veronica for translating all the Italian for me, and Gabby for the Australia education!
