To Katie Evans, PA extraordinaire: You've taken a nervous, slightly insane person and turned her into a nervous, slightly insane AUTHOR. You made me believe in myself again, and I can never thank you enough. Having you in my corner gives me a confidence boost and makes me want to be a better writer. Thank you for always checking on me and for being so much more than a PA. {Cue the theme from The Golden Girls}

To Layla Marin Fox, Sofia Aves, Elle Nicole, Carolina Jax, Margaux Porter, Kelley Williams-Sanders, Rosie Swisher, and Kelsey Schneider: Each of you has done something to help me bring this book to fruition, and I am eternally grateful for each of you. You ladies ROCK!

To my husband: I am so blessed to have you in my life for the past [redacted] years. Thank you for putting up with me while I'm writing, and I appreciate the "research" you help me with for my books. "Okay, hold my leg like this and see if… no… that's not going to work…" Thank you for believing in me and not even batting an eye when I told you I was starting this new adventure. It's like you knew without a doubt that I could do it. I love you so much, and I can't wait to spend the next [redacted] years with you.

To my ARC readers and street team: God, I don't even have words to say what you mean to me. Thank you for taking a chance on an unknown author and for pimping my book to the masses. I truly treasure each and every one of you.

To my readers (Hopefully, I'm not being overconfident for making that plural.): Thank you for coming along for the ride, and I really hope you've enjoyed Delay of Game. I appreciate every page and word that you've read because they were all from my heart. I hope you will stick around for my series featuring Beau Atwood and his former Navy SEAL brothers. They are some hot tamales, and trust me, you don't want to miss them. I'm thankful for each of you.
