Acknowledgments
Thanks to all of the readers and bloggers who support my work! This job continues to be a blast and I have you to thank for it.
Thanks a lot, Jordan Marie and Sara Bartlett, for the one million hours spent chatting on Facebook. You’re the reason I write so slowly.
Thanks to Yoly Cortez of Cormar Covers for her always amazing designs. And for not firing me as a client for all my last-minute frantic emails. You have the patience of a saint. And to Michael Stokes and Colin Wayne for the fantastic cover photo that inspired this entire book.
Special thanks to my editor Daryl Banner, who removed approximately four hundred thousand instances of “he/she says” from this book and gave me such great feedback. And to Sue Banner — thank you for the proofing and everything else you’ve done to support me and so many other indies.
Last but not least, thank you to my husband who continues to be such a smart-ass that I can quote him verbatim in my books. You’ll always be my dumb jock ;)
Author’s Note
I was supposed to be working on the fourth book in my West Bend Saints series, Killian (don't worry, that one's coming soon). But then Colton King barged his way into my head. I thought I'd write out the couple of scenes that were rattling around in my brain and then set the book aside, but he refused to shut up.
I hope you enjoyed these characters as much as I do.
Please forgive any grievous sports errors (there’s a reason the heroine is a nerdy girl who doesn’t know anything about football), and if you can't forgive them, blame my book consultant (my husband), who's a former college football player. Address all complaints to him.
