I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck. “That would have been bad if I said no. But for you, it’s yes. It’ll always be yes.”
“You promise?” he asked softly.
“You were the best risk I’ve ever taken. I promise.”
Dear Reader
Thank you so much for getting to know Ember and Tripp! I think their story was the most fun for me to write and I hope that came through!
I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you did, I would greatly appreciate a short review on Amazon or your retailer. Reviews are crucial for any author, and even just a line or two can make a huge difference.
I look forward to reading your thoughts!
XOXO,
Nicole
P.S. Please note I may have used a little creative license with regard to the timing / procedure of college ball. Any mistakes are totally my own.

Acknowledgments
It’s been a some time since I published the first book in this series and it’s crazy how much my life has changed since then. This series was a bit of a departure from my normal fare of romantic suspense and alien romance. I don’t think I would have been able to keep it together if it weren’t for some very important people.
To Afton—who puts up with my incessant need to write at all hours of the day. I promise to try to be the mother you deserve.
To Mom—who has always given so much. I hope you know how much I truly appreciate all you’ve done for me.
To Alana—for everything. One day we’ll actually meet.
To Melissa—always.
To Cindy, Vera, Jayce, Sheila and Rhonda for your assistance beta reading the crap out of this series. I can’t even begin to explain how much you’ve helped me. You’re the best!
To the Team at Joy Editing, I appreciate you so much!
To my Knockouts! I love you guys.
To all the bloggers who’ve shared the Friend Zone Series, who’ve reviewed, and pimped, and Instagrammed—you’re angels. Each and every one of you. Thank you for doing what you do. I couldn’t do this without you!
And finally, to my readers. I’ve always wanted to be an author. Teenage me would like to thank you for making a dream come true. Each day I get to do what I love and it is largely because of your support. Thank you for reading, for cheering me on, and for enjoying my stories.
