This year sucked. You lost the one person who called you every single night to find out how you were. The one who made sure you had everything you needed at every moment.
Your little girl.
I don’t know how you are so strong, but I really want to find out how.
My admiration for you has no bounds. I wish I could have just a tiny bit of your strength right now.
First my mom and then your brother… Life can be a cruel bitch, but you keep going, plugging along and living your life.
I’m honored to be your granddaughter and love you with every beat of my heart.
My husband…
I love you. You’ve stood beside me and held my hand when I couldn’t breathe. Helped me through this huge life-altering moment. Thank you for being by my side through each day. I love you…
Chelsea...
You are my rock.
You’ve stood strong when I was weak.
You’ve encouraged me when I didn’t think I could go on.
You’ve led me when I couldn’t take another step.
You’ve held my head above water when I was drowning.
Without your safety rope, I would’ve lost myself in grief.
The rabbit hole is dark, and you helped shine the light.
Sometimes God puts someone in our lives who is utterly life-changing.
You reading my wolf books and us becoming friends was one of those times for me.
We may live almost a thousand miles away from one another, but you’re the closest friend in my heart.
Thank you just isn’t enough.
Ride or die.
Natalie, my assistant…
Thank you so much for holding down the fort while I crumbled. Everything would’ve gone to hell in a handbasket without you. I appreciate everything you do.
My Alpha/Sanity Keeper…
Chelsea, thank you for ripping the shit out of this book and telling me how much it sucked so I could put it back together and make it great. See, you made it in twice!
My research team…
Thank you ladies for helping me get all the facts right in this book. Writing it was difficult at times and with your help, I was able to complete BBF.
My beta readers...
Thank you for fixing all my mistakes. For taking time out of your lives to read BBFate and give me your feedback. Every bit of it helped create this book. Suzanne, Carol, Michelle, Cassandra, Becky, Kris, Lori,
More of my team…
Linda, my proofreader. Hope you don’t mind me using your name in the book, but I liked it. Thank you for catching all those tiny little mistakes and making the finished product shine.
Silla, my editor from Masque of the Red Pen. You take the coal I give you and crush it into a sparkling diamond.
Cassy, my cover designer from Pink Ink Designs. She takes a photo and turns it into magic.
Shauna Kruse from Kruse Images & Photography who took the kickass picture for the cover.
Kristen Lazarus-Wood & Clint Lewing for modeling in the cover. It was perfect for Dryerson & Katie.
Dani who does my public relations (PR) from Wildfire Marketing Solutions. Thank you for all your hard work.
Ena from Enticing Journey who’s been with me since the beginning of this journey. Ha! Did you catch that?
Stephanie Phillips from SBR Media and has gotten me some kickass deals this past year.
Sinners…
You’ve given me things to laugh about and kept my spirits up when I was down. Thank you for always being there. I’d be nowhere if it weren’t for you, my readers. You’ve stuck with me for the past eight years and allowed me to have a career I love. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
