“You did it. Three books later and you finally did it. Today is a day all our dreams come true.” Zara kiss
es the scruff that’s built up on my chin and takes a seat on the couch.
“I married the man of my dreams and he just happens to be listed on the New York Times Best Sellers list. How could life get any better?”
“It can’t. It’s not possible. Well, at least until you decide it’s time to have babies.”
She blushes and hides behind her hair. “Well, about that.”
From behind her back, she pulls a thin white stick and hands it to me. “Looks like we’re living the dream, baby.”
To our children. Born and unborn. Tiny humans or fur babies. Without you, there’s no purpose. Thank you for being you and loving us unconditionally.
Acknowledgments
First and foremost, we’d like to thank our amazing husbands for their tireless efforts in keeping us happy long enough to tell a story; our fantastic agents, Marisa Corvisiero and Brittany Booker, for helping us through the fine details and being our cheerleaders; our Loveswept editor, Sue Grimshaw, because without her this book wouldn’t be here today; and the rest of our Random House team, who put in so much effort to make sure this book was as beautiful as it could be.
We’d also like to thank our small group of cupcakes that was assembled when this book was just an idea in our heads, our own respective street teams, each and every reader who’s taken a chance on this novel, and, finally, all of the wonderful blogs that promote writers and books for no other reason than the desire to share the love of fiction. —Missy

You, my sweet little Aussie, saved me more than you’ll ever know. Thank you for your friendship, your talent, your honest opinions, and letting me be a part of this project with you. The world is a better place with you in it. I can’t wait to squeeze that baby.
Us against the world. —Ashley

ASHLEY SUZANNE has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a youngster, she was always creating stories and talking to her imaginary friends. Thankfully, her parents also carried this love of fiction, and helped her grow into the bestselling author she is today. When Suzanne isn’t coming up with her next story, you’ll most likely find her on the couch, telling her husband all about her new book boyfriend, or spending quality time with her two gremlins…er, adorable children.
