Much love to my family!! Poor Kurt, Lydia, Sadie, and even Holly the cat have to suffer through every time I go off into my writing mode and I’m not mentally present, even when I’m right there. Thanks for being my foundation and still loving me for who I am.

And to the rest of my family: Even though we lost our glue—our matriarch—I love you guys more than I did before, and I feel closer to you than ever. Whenever I get to missing Mom, I just have to see one of you, and there she is. You keep her memory alive.

Thanks to the family members who always read the first, roughest drafts of my stories. This time, I believe it was Alaina, Shi, Kayla, Jamie, and maybe even Morgan. Your initial responses are the most important to me! Big hugs.

Then there is always Amanda, who is my go-to beta reader. I swear, her feedback is almost as long as the story itself, and I love, love, LOVE that. I enjoy seeing the story from her point of view; it helps me fix and polish more than anything else. Her help is invaluable.

Tons of thanks to Ashley Gibbons and Diane Plourde, my PAs who go out there and help me spread the word, who read my stories and blurbs and give me feedback, who help set up all kinds of promotional stuff, and do it all merely because they enjoy books! I’ll never be able to repay you two for all your selfless giving in helping me. Thank you.

To my editor Summer with Red Pen Revolution, thank you for making time for my little—okay, super long, drawn-out—story, even though it was right in the middle of your busy season. You rock.

Shelby Bauer from Book Lovers Have More Fun, it is an honor to be one of your first projects in your proofreading endeavors! I wish you lots of luck with it in the future. Thank you so much for taking on One True Love and for all your help. And also to Shelley at 2 Book Lovers Reviews and Judy at Judy’s Proofreading, thank you for your hard work too. I’ll probably bug you guys until the end of time, begging you to keep proofreading my stories, but it’s your own fault; you’re just too awesome.

To my core-eight buddies: Alexandria Bishop, DB James, Hilaria Alexander, Jodie Larson, K. Street, Megan Green, and Stacey Grice. I feel as if you have this shit down way better than I do, but thank you for allowing me to be part of the group, anyway.

Then, massive amounts of love to my current pen pals: Lindsay Brooks, Cin Rule, Soha Khalil, and Everly Lucas! Thanks for talking to me about everything and nothing! You always make my day brighter.

Plus, thank you to all the bloggers, reviewers, my new ARC Team members, and Giselle at Xpresso Book Tours for all you did for One True Love too. You guys bring life to the book world. Bless you.

Finally, to God, who is the One True Love: Thank you for loving us first and showing us what it’s all about.
