Come Together (The Cityscape 3)

“A German Shepherd puppy!” I cried.
“Yes.”
“Like Canyon!” I cried again.
“Yes, like Canyon. I told George at the shelter months ago that if one ever came in, to call me immediately.”
I began jumping up and down, and David laughed heartily. “He’s perfect!” I kept crying. “Just perfect! Do you think we’re ready?”
“Yes. I’ve already arranged for him to stay with Jessa while we’re in Greece next month. Alex is thrilled.”
“I’m sure he is. What should we name him?”
David put his arm around my shoulder and kissed my head. “How about Prince Siegfried?”
I laughed. It was the name of the lead character from Swan Lake, the ballet where we’d first met eyes across the lobby of the theater.
“Well, hi, darling Prince,” I cooed, cuddling the puppy close. “Welcome to the Dylan family.”

SERIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A special thank you to my biggest supporter, best friend and unofficial beta-reader, Jenna Meister. Often we are continents apart, occasionally we are sitting next to each other working quietly at Starbucks. Regardless, you are an endless source of strength, support and reason.
This series has been made possible with the help of many friends, family and fans. Support comes in many forms, and I am especially indebted to the following people who generously contributed to my Kickstarter campaign: Jenna Meister, James and Jan Hawkins, James Stafford Hawkins, Jr., Uncle Pete, Frances Tully, Jimmy Pollard, Jen Last, Lawrence W. Fry, Natalie Marie Haddad, Dallas Ann H. Erwood, Sharon A. O’Donnell and Dottie Broderick.
To those who have read the series: thank you. It has been an honor to be on your physical or digital bookshelf. Fans, friends and blogs who’ve reviewed the series: I know who you are and I’ve read your reviews; you’ve given a new author something priceless. Street team: you have a special place in my heart! Thank you for all that you do.
Last but not least, I want to acknowledge a few people who have followed the series from beginning to end, dutifully cheering me on from the first sentence. Onnica Rheade from ILoveRomanticFiction.com: you may not know this, but you were the first person I know of that read Come Undone. It’s true. I’ll never forget how it felt to read your review. Natalie Marie Haddad: the first person to encourage me at everything I do, ever. Julie Celene Blackwell: the first of my friends and family to take the time to honestly review and then share the book. Traci Thompson: my first diehard cheerleader, who never hesitates to share the books with everyone she knows.
It’s likely none of you will ever know what your support means to me. I love you. That’s all.
