Joe had the biggest smile plastered across his heartless face. “Lincoln! We’ve been looking everywhere for you, son!”
My heart stopped as the bastard pushed past me and threw his arms over Laces back.
“Dad, what are you doing here?” Laces’ voice was kind, but I sensed a hint of annoyance behind it.
Could’ve made it work.

Acknowledgments
I want to thank my husband for putting up with me writing in a room for 5 hours at a time. Throughout my career he has always been my “constant”. Whenever I have needed advice or any type of support he was always ready. There were many times I wanted to give up and he kept me aligned to finish. I love you, madly. XOXO. Also, thank you to my son for being an inspiration like no other. He has endured many struggles over the years and kept smiling, kept going.
J.E. PARKER. You reached out to me when I was in a really dark place in my life. We forged a close bond and you took me under your wing with no questions asked. For two years I watched your career develop and you kindly offered any/all insight. Because of your wisdom I found my footing early-on and was given a head start that other’s could only dream of. You write it and we’ll market it. I couldn’t ask for better best friend. (P.S. That mafia book of yours is gonna to be lit! lol)
Special thanks to my editor, Sara Miller, for pulling this one out of both of our asses. You understand my vision and never try to change my voice. *hugs* Instead of trying to tone down my “southern twang” you find ways to build on it. Thank you, lady!
MY FABULOUS VETERANS. Skyla, Katie, Elizabeth, Judith, Alondra, Tanja, & Mahshad. 10 YEARS LATER & here we are. *grins* Thank you so much for believing in me and sticking around for the last 10 years. Laces was not the journey we started with, but everything this book became I contribute to the early days. You guys gave me my start and made me really fall in love with writing. I remember posting to the private Facebook profile (the note section) almost everyday for 2 years. There was no money involved; only a dream of one day seeing a group of paranormal men (who kicked some serious ass) displayed on my bookshelf at home. I am forever grateful for your loyalty and look forward to introducing the world to the characters y’all fell in love with so long ago. #Tucksters #Warlords
Thank you to my PA & friend, Maria, for stepping in and taking charge when I wanted to throw in the towel. (Light more candles before the next book!) Thank you for respecting and admiring my work, and for pushing me. You were the driving force behind Laces during the early writing stages and made sure I stuck with it. You believed in this book when no one else did.
Special thanks to Crystal Nelson & Bri Danielle, who beta read early on.
And thanks to Michelle Vasquez, Kenia Fields, and Mahida Gulzar for your undying support. A huge thank you to my STEET TEAM for kicking ass over the last few months. You guys are the absolute best and I can’t wait to jump into the next adventure!
Special shoutout to Greylin Reuss. Thank you for all that you have done.
And lastly, thank you to the readers.
Stay safe, my beautiful creatures.
