Robin—Thank you for your unending support! You are always willing to help a girl out and I could never thank you enough for that.
Seraphina—The Blurb Queen! :) You’ve welcomed me into your world with open arms. You’ve included me in things when I felt so left out I nearly cried. You are so amazing in so many ways. Thank you for being my guide, my mentor, but most of all, my friend.
Susan—I’ll never forget the night you called me. I was folding clothes and you basically talked me out of scrapping everything I’d written. You take the time to go beyond the “beta” or “Facebook friend” and I could never find the words to describe my appreciation for that and so many other things. I love your face.
SE Dean—Oh, lady. I’m laughing as I type this. God knows you deserve a medal for answering my crazy questions during this book! I owe you so much. squeezes you tight
Shaunda—You’re such an asset to the book community and to my life. You’ve created such a warm group, Smut Sisters Orgasmic Book Club, and never hesitate to help out those you love. I love you.
Stephanie—I don’t even know where to start. I could say I’m blessed to know you, but that would only scratch the surface. You are such a beautiful woman and a beautiful soul. Thank you for always asking how I am, for answering all my questions (I went with tamales), and for being TejasGirl. <3
Tori—My #click! I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we are on the same path, almost day-for-day. I look up to you, admire you, and hope to be half as strong as you some day.

Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys created by other authors, Adriana has created her own.
She lives in the Midwest with her family and spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. Her favorite things include sunshine, candy, and random quotes.
The Perception is her second novel. The Exception, her first, is available on all platforms. Sacrifice, a standalone, will be released Summer 2015.
