“When did you get this?”
“The other day. I was hiding it from you until now.”
I trace it with my finger. “It’s beautiful. What does it mean?”
She holds my stare and says the one word I’ve longed to hear since the day I fell in love with her.
“Found.”
Thank you for reading.

Acknowledgments
As I write these acknowledgments, two years into a pandemic (and sick with COVID), I’m feeling so incredibly blessed to be able to do what I do despite the state of the world. I hope my readers have found escape in my books over the past few years. I know it’s great therapy for me to write them.
Writing Amber’s book has been a dream of mine for many years, ever since I wrote the epilogue to Black Roses. I knew her book had to be strong and end epically. I hope you will agree that my goals were achieved. I’m not afraid to tell you that even after reading it many times, I still cry at the end.
This book did not have any alpha readers. I wrote it in its entirety before anyone laid eyes on it. That was a first for me. And the first person to read it was my editor, Amanda Cuff. The feedback I got from her brought tears to my eyes. It’s my wish that Amber’s story has touched all of you as well.
Thank you to my incredible beta readers, Shauna Salley, Laura Conley, Joelle Yates, and Jen Meador. You surely make me seem a better writer than I am.
To my quasi-editor, Ann Peters, I appreciate your continued dedication.
As mentioned earlier, I’m delighted to have a new editor, Amanda Cuff. I hope this is the start of a long relationship.
Last but not least, I have to thank my assistant, Julie Collier, who I’m convinced has cloned herself into two or three people.
I can’t wait for you all to see what I have in store next. Tag’s book will just be the beginning. Calloway Creek has many, many stories to be told. Stay tuned!
About the author
Samantha Christy’s passion for writing started long before her first novel was published. Graduating from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Criminal Justice, she held the title of Computer Systems Analyst for The Supreme Court of Wisconsin and several major universities around the United States. Raised mainly in Indianapolis, she holds the Midwest and its homegrown values dear to her heart, and upon the birth of her third child devoted herself to raising her family full time. While it took time to get from there to here, writing has remained her utmost passion, and being a stay-at-home mom facilitated her ability to follow that dream. When she is not writing, she keeps busy cruising to every Caribbean island where ships sail. Samantha Christy currently resides in St. Augustine, Florida with her husband and four children.
