It truly takes a team of incredible people to help me pull off writing a book.
Mom—Writing about a dedicated mother came easy because you have always been the best role model and cheerleader for us. Thanks for helping me get through my writer’s block and inspiring me to write about something different.
Mr. FOF—Thanks for reminding me that the little romantic gestures are just as important as the big ones.
To Christa, Pam, and the rest of the team at Bloom Books—Thank you for making this release such a special one for me. Not only did you help me bring my story to the next level, but you also helped share with all of the United States and Canada. Seeing my books in physical stores was an experience I will cherish forever.
Anna and the team at Piatkus—Thank you for helping me share my stories not only with the UK and the British Commonwealth, but also the world. It truly has been the coolest experience to catch Piatkus editions of the Dreamland Billionaires all over the world.
Kimberly, Joy, and everyone at Brower Literary & Management—I appreciate your commitment to helping my books find new readers and guiding me through this wild publishing world.
Nina, Kim, and everyone at Valentine PR—You’ve made the process of releasing a book a complete breeze. I can always count on you to not only make me feel like family but help organize everything for me.
Becca—Calling you when I was 75% into my TFP draft and unsure about the product was one of the best decisions I have made. I’m so grateful that Erica saved the day for me and connected us because I value not only your incredible editing feedback, but also your heart. I’m happy to have you in my corner, pushing me in all the best ways.
Erica—I can’t believe we are closing out another series together. This one brought me a ton of laughs with you, from Henry Ford to Pizza Cal (and Matt’s voice notes about *those scenes*). I am grateful to not only have you as an editor, but also a friend.
Sarah—Working with you on my books has been the best experience. You’re someone I always look forward to emailing once I’m ready with a draft, knowing I can always count on you to give my manuscript and my characters your all.
Mary—To the day one, thank you. FOF calls you the goat for a reason, and it’s not only because of your graphic design skills, but also your commitment to bringing my stories to life.
Jos—I can always count on you to be a text or call away. You never blinked at my chaotic thoughts, and I appreciate your friendship and constant support throughout this process.
Nura—I appreciate you for so many things. Your enthusiasm about my couples and reading every single draft of my books keeps me motivated to keep going, so thank you!
To my sensitivity readers—I appreciate you taking a chance on an early copy of my book and giving me feedback on how to improve the character’s stories and backgrounds. Your recommendations really helped elevate the story.
To my beta readers—Thanks for being part of the process since the very first draft. This story came a long way all thanks to you and your incredible attention to details.
