“I love you too,” she says, crying happy tears and smiling as the nurse hands our daughter over. “Wow. She’s going to be blonde.” She smooths a finger gently over the blonde hair stuck to our daughter’s head.
“I wonder if she’ll have curls like Luna,” I muse, sniffing as powerful emotion sneaks up on me again.
The nurse returns our son, all clean and smelling like lavender baby bath, wrapped in a long-sleeved onesie under the soft blue blanket we brought with us. We coo over him while we wait for our daughter to be bathed and returned, and then I go out to get the others.
Our family bursts into the room, and the noise levels elevate a few decibels as Rora squeals in excitement. Caz has to wrangle her into his arms to stop her from lunging at her new brother and sister. Luna snuggles with Lo, smiling as she holds her new sister in both their arms, while I cradle my son in my arms, showing him off to Bishop.
“See that,” I tell our eldest son, speaking loudly so the whole room hears. “That’s evidence of super, super, super sperm.” I knocked our woman up with two kids. Two babies, motherfuckers. None of those assholes managed that.
“Saintly!” Lo shrieks.
I smirk, slanting a smug look in Galen, Caz, and Theo’s direction. “Admit it, motherfuckers,” I add, uncaring about cussing. There is no way to protect our kids from cussing in our household. “I’m the fucking bomb.” I puff out my chest, my heart swelling with joy.
“We’re never going to hear the end of this,” Galen mutters, but he’s grinning. He slaps me on the shoulder. “I’m happy for you, man.”
“He looks just like Lo,” Caz says, leaning in to coo at our new son. “Thank fuck.”
“Our new daughter is the spitting image of her daddy,” Lo adds, gazing adoringly at the tiny little princess in her arms. “So, suck it up, Caz,” she teases.
“Yeah, Poppa Bear,” Rora says, jutting out her lower lip. “Suck it up!”
Laughter surrounds us, and as I cast my gaze over my family, I offer up thanks to whoever graced us with these two new miracles, promising I will never let them or any of our kids down.

And so I’ve come to the end of another series, and I’m inhabiting that happy, proud, bittersweet space I’m always in when it’s time to say goodbye to characters I have come to love as if they are real. What a mad crazy ride it has been, and I know Harlow, Saint, Galen, Caz, and Theo will remain in my thoughts for a long, long time.
I hope you have enjoyed reading my Sainthood series as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it!
I always say it takes a mini army to birth a book, and it’s so true! In no particular order, thanks to Kelly Hartigan, Danielle Sanchez and her team at Wildfire Marketing Solutions, Robin Harper, Michelle Lancaster, CP Smith, Lola Verroen, Sarah Puckett, Sarah Ferguson, my proof ladies, my BETA and ARC readers, and all the bloggers, bookstagrammers, and readers who do so much to help spread the word about my books.
To Jennifer Gibson, critique partner extraordinaire and the woman who literally keeps me sane, I don’t have words to express how much it means to me to have you in my life. I can’t wait for the day I get to hug you in person. Thanks for loving these characters and this world as much as me and for helping to keep me on the right track.
A big shout out to Siobhan’s Elite, my street team on Facebook. You ladies rock BIG-TIME. I’m so grateful to have you all in my corner. Thank you for your wonderful support and for being one of the nicest group of ladies I’ve had the pleasure to meet online. Massive thanks to Christina Santos, your fearless leader and a woman I’m proud to have by my side as I navigate the constantly changing indie romance community. I couldn’t do it without you, Christina, and I’m so grateful for everything you do to help promote me and my books. Most of all, I’m grateful for your loyal friendship.
I’d also like to thank all the admins and members of Siobhan’s Squad and The Sainthood Spoiler Group. It’s my happy place on FB, and I love interacting with so many encouraging, enthusiastic readers. You have no idea how much your thoughtful comments and posts cheer me up on difficult days. Your love for this series has bowled me over, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
To all my author friends, thank you so much for your support and encouragement, and it’s wonderful to be surrounded by so many like-minded people who enjoy building their fellow authors up instead of tearing them down. A special mention to my besties, Susan Alexander, Shantel Tessier, Dee Kelly, Lianne Cotton, and Coralee June. Love you ladies. Big hugs.
MASSIVE THANKS TO YOU, dear reader! Without readers like you, I wouldn’t have the career of my dreams. I NEVER forget that. I look forward to entertaining you for many more years to come.
I couldn’t do this without the love and support of my family, most notably my husband Trevor and my sons, Cian and Callum. You are my world, and it’s all for you.

In the power struggle between two elite groups, one feisty girl will bring them to their knees…
Life is a cruel game where only the most ruthless survive. It’s a truth my mother rebelled against, and she paid for it with her life. Now, I play their game. Publicly accepting the destiny that lies in wait for me when I turn eighteen.
But, behind closed doors, I plot my escape.
Trent, Charlie, and my twin, Drew, rule the hallways of Rydeville High with arrogance and an iron fist. I execute my role perfectly, hating every second, but they never let me forget my place in this world.
Everyone obeys the rules. They have for generations. Because our families have always been in control.
Until Cam, Sawyer, and Jackson show up. Throwing their new money around. Challenging the status quo. Setting hearts racing with their gorgeous faces, hot bodies, and bad boy attitudes.
Battle lines are drawn. Sides are taken. And I’m trapped in the middle, because I made a mistake one fateful night when I gave my V-card to a stranger in a blatant F you to my fiancé.
I thought it was the one thing I owned. A precious memory to carry me through each dark day.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Because the stranger was Camden Marshall, leader of the new elite and my perpetual tormenter. He hates me with a passion unrivaled, and he won’t be the only one. Fire will rain down if the truth is revealed, threatening alliances, and the power struggle will turn vicious.
My life will hang in the balance.
But I’ll be ready, and I’m not going down without a fight.
