Faith and I had agreed that we didn’t want to know the baby’s sex before he was born. Instead, we wanted to savor every moment of the pregnancy and wait to see what fate had in store for us since we hadn’t been sure if we would be able to get pregnant. We’d picked out boy and girl names, but we hadn’t shared them with anyone else.
“Faith insisted,” I explained, looking down at my wife while she smiled up at us from her hospital bed.
“I wouldn’t have my Declan without yours,” Faith replied.
My mom managed to pull herself together as she stared down at her first grandson. “And so we’ve come full circle.”

The Fortuity Duet wouldn’t have happened without the help of so many people. I owe thanks to LJ Anderson (Mayhem Cover Design) and Sara Eirew Photography for how beautiful the cover turned out. Ellie McLove (Gray Ink) and Manda Lee for their eagle eyes during the editing process. Elle Christensen, Ella Fox, and S Van Horne for their input on the story as it developed. Sarah Ferguson from Social Butterfly PR for all her help in spreading the word. Kathy Snead Williams for holding my hand while also giving me lots of nudges along the way. Becca Hensley Mysoor for her insight during a wonderful lunch. The #DreamTeam and DHI for cheering me on. My Racy Readers for their continued support over the years. Dear friends like Aurora Rose Reynolds and TM Frazier who’re always there for me when I need them. My mom, whose transplant journey provided inspiration. My sons, who put up with all my craziness when I’m writing and continue to cheer me along. I’m sure I’m missing some incredible people because it truly has taken a village to bring this project to life, and I’m blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing village.
Thank you!

About the Author
I absolutely adore reading—always have and always will. When I was growing up, my friends used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.
I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.
