Thanks to my beta readers, Jodi, Monica, Quinn, Julia, and Heather. You amazingly smart ladies have saved my ass so many times now I’ve lost count. I sincerely value your feedback, and my books are all the better for it.

Thanks to Pippa for being so open and honest and taking the time to answer my million questions. You are #authorgoals for sure!

Thanks to Mika for taking the time to talk to me about the tricky ins and outs of the accidental pregnancy trope. I appreciate your thoughts and guidance!

Thanks to my author friends, my ARC team, and the hundreds (well, thousands now I guess!) readers in my reader group. Your support truly has changed my life in all the best ways. Special shout out to Kenysha, Joyce, Tammy, Kenysha, Judy, Maria, Sophia, Terra, Kathryn, Pippa, Lucy, Stephanie, Maya, Kelsey…my God, there are so many of you now, and I am feeling so grateful I’m tearing up! Thank you guys for all the love you’ve shown me and my books.

Thanks to my editor, Kristin, and my copyeditor, Tandy. Thanks also to my amazing, and amazingly patient, cover artist, Najla Qamber. As usual, you knocked it out of the park with this one.

Thanks to Ryan for the TDP story/idea. Let’s hope you started a trend!

Thanks to the cover photographer, Rafa Catala, and the cover model, Fabián Castro. You are both a dream to work with.

Finally, my biggest thanks to my husband (and soon-to-be best dad in the world!) Ben. You made all my dreams come true. I hope to return the favor. Love you.
