One to Protect (One to Hold 3)

An absolute HUGE Thank You goes to the indispensible Erica Duvall, who I could not do all this without! You’re not just a great reader-friend and fan, you’re my girl Friday! Love you! Thanks also to Kelley Langlois for getting that ball rolling and for being so sage and encouraging and funny and awesome. You’re the best.

I love love LOVE my street team, my “Keepers”! You have all become friends to me, and as much as anybody, you guys are just amazing in your support and encouragement and sharing! Thank you so much to Ilona Townsel, Jackie Wright, Rebecca Bennett, Nicole Huffman, Melissa Tholen, Chrissy Fletcher, Karrie Puskas, Heather Carver, Jas Dela Cruz, Christi Curtis, Daphnie Bennett, Lisa Maurer, Teresa Gomez, Jennifer Marr, Melissa Jones, Jennifer Noe, Lisa Gerould, Lorraine Black, Amber Gleisner, Lucinda Pilsbury, Angela Craney, Holly Leffler, Evette Reads, Becky Barney, Jennifer LaFon, Richelle Robinson, Jess Danowski, Zee Hayat, Brandelyn Harris, Ali Hymer, Jennifer Engel, Autumn Davis, Angie Lynch, Maria Barquero, Laura Goff, Ellen Widom, Katrina Boone, and “honorary members” Nikki Hardie and Christina “Bookalicious” Badder. You guys are so fantastic—you keep me going when I’m tired and you make me feel better when I’m discouraged. Love you all so much!

Another HUGE Thank You goes to my superfly team of beta readers and critique partners, who I adore and who make me shine. Love you, Aleatha Romig, Kate Roth, Tami Johnson, Ginger Sharp (“Princeton expert”), Tracy Womack (“eagle eye”), and Rebecca Bennett (“sticker queen”).

So many bloggers have supported me since September 2013 in large and small ways, I don’t even know how I can begin to list you all here. It would take pages and pages, and invariably, I’d leave someone out. I will give a special Thanks to Melanie “Sassymum,” and Ali and DebbieReadsandBlogs for inviting me to my very first author events—what a thrill! To Angie Lynch for making me a Smut Muffin (LOL!), and to Tamela Gibson for putting Patrick on the banner in The Library (WOW!). Everyone else, please know how much I appreciate all of you. You’ve been so kind and happy to help, and every time it makes my day. I hope all the best for all of you.

Every one who leaves a happy, encouraging review, sends me a kind word, or simply buys my books and enjoys them, I appreciate you more than I can say.

Thank you!

About the Author

Tia Louise is a former journalist, world-traveler, and collector of beautiful men (who inspire all of her stories. *wink*)—turned wife, mommy, and novelist.

She lives in the center of the U.S.A. with her lovely family and one grumpy cat. There, she dreams up stories she hopes are engaging, hot, and sexy, and that cause readers rethink common public locations.

It’s possible she has a slight truffle addiction.
