Thank you to Ada Frost for my amazing book cover this time around.
More thanks to all the supportive people who visit my social media sites and read my stories, keeping me in business, especially everyone on the Facebook Group: The Forbidden Men Lovers! Love you guys.
Thanks to my huge family, thanks to Kurt, Lydia, and the brand new Sadie (who was with me every step of the way...literally, since she was stuck inside me the entire time) for providing me with my own happily ever after, and then finally thank you to God.
I know I don’t deserve so much help and support from so many people, but I cherish and appreciate it, recognizing it for the amazing gift it is, anyway. Thank you.
