Thank you, Madison Seidler and Samantha Eaton-Roberts, my editors, for cleaning up my messes and giving invaluable advice.
My sisters in fierceness, I think it goes without saying, but thank you for your awesomeness. Every day and always. Especially, Starla, for enduring the endless cover changes.
To Jessica, my alabaster doll, stay classy.
My work family who might as well be blood: Shawnna, Lisabeth, Laura, JJ, Stephanie, Cabell, and Lima, who put up with me daily at my “real” job and encourage me to pursue my dreams, even if it means not being “mentally” present every day. I love you guys so much.
As always, my family––both blood and through marriage––deserve the most thanks for your patience, consideration, support and all around love. And, of course, Ryan, the inspiration behind all my leading men. I love you. Thank you.
To my readers, it’s a blessing to be able to begin an acknowledgment like that. I’m so grateful for each of you.
