If you made it to this page then it means you finished this novel! And for that, I am beyond grateful. Without the support of readers like you, who take chances on new authors, I would have never made it this far. You readers, bookstagrammars, and bloggers all gave me wings and encouraged me to take a chance at this whole writing thing. I’m in awe of your love and kindness.
To my husband. You have been my biggest supporter in this journey. Thank you for showing me that real men still exist in our society. For being my alpha and never allowing me to give up on my dreams even when I really thought I wanted to. For being my biggest competitor and my greatest supporter. And for taking part in researching the sexy scenes when I demanded that you, “read this and see if it makes you hard.”
A huge thanks to my daughter, who is more talented than I will ever be. Thank you for your infinite repertoire of new slang that I was able to incorporate in this novel. For sitting up with me discussing strategy and scene ideas. For loving Theo. One day this will be you!
To my “terrible two,” thank you for your tiny patience when I was writing while we watched Saturday morning cartoons. For allowing me to squeeze in words between soccer practice and dinner. For still loving me when I snapped for a few minutes of peace. I love you little boogers, even when you destroy the house right after I clean it. One day you will change the world. You are, and always be, my greatest achievement.
To my sister. If it wasn’t for that Christmas when Santa brought you all that Twilight shit I wouldn’t have gotten curious and picked up a copy for myself. You inadvertently watered this seed and grew it with your love and support. You are my ride or die. My parabatai. And I love the utter hell out of you!
To the rest of my family and friends that had no idea that I was writing a book until the last minute. I know you would have supported me if I told you. I love you all and hope you don’t look at me differently when you read this book.
Jessica. Where do I even start to thank you? You have become such an instrumental part of my life. You became more than my beta the very first conversation we had. Thank you for all those late-night conversations and hilarious antics. For dropping everything and helping me when I was in crisis mode. For being the best damn PA there ever was! For becoming the best friend I never had. If not for your continued encouragement that this didn’t totally sound like shit I would have scrapped it all. You are more amazing than you give yourself credit for. One day, I will convince you to write a novel. You already have a beta. Until then, we’ll take the world by storm together. Me and you. Always.
To Candece, Meghan, Lindsay, and Ebony, you ladies rock! Thank you for beta reading and giving me a pat on the back when I so desperately needed it! If you are looking for great blogs to follow, check these ladies out at , and
To my street team who took a chance on a new author and pimped this bitch like a boss. You guys are the fucking best!
A special thanks to Kcee for creating the beautiful graphics and teasers. I can’t wait to do it all again with you, babe!
And to Anne, for making me feel like a million bucks. I’m honored to have you as my friend. I got plans for you, girl!
To The Best Bitches, Lori, Sarah, Jessica, Ebony, Kayley, and Margo, you amazing ladies inspire me every day with your love and craziness. My days are brighter because of your laughter.
And to my Instagram family, without your support and encouragement I would have never finished this book. I love you all and hope this novel is everything you hoped it to be.
A big thanks to the team of people who pulled all of this together because I honestly had no freaking clue what I was doing. My editor, Marian Black. Thank you for your guidance and patience as I debated ridiculous issues and found the author I wanted to be. Thank you, Elizabeth, for staying up all night making my emergency your priority. For being the best cheerleader ever! I can’t wait to do it all over again with you. Rest up, babe! Letitia Hasser for making this badass cover. Stacey, for the beautiful formatting. And Ross, for your kick-ass photography skills. Next time, the readers and I volunteer as tributes to grease up the models for you.
Thank you all so much for reading! If you loved Commander in Briefs, please consider leaving a review on any platform. I could use all the help I can get. And if you hated it, well, I hope you’ll give me another shot next time. Every novel is different and skill grows over time. I’m already working on Cade’s book, Gorgeous, and am tentatively scheduled to release it in Summer of 2018.
