“So, maybe we can sneak off later?” Dylan suggested. “Try out one of those spanking benches.”
Sarah laughed. “Are Christian and Tristan gonna stop by?”
Dylan turned to face her fully. “I asked them to. Why?”
“Well, if they do show up, then maybe you’ll get your wish.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because they’ll be a good distraction, don’t you know?”
Dylan jerked her to him, making her giggle as he kissed her hard. “Woman, whatever am I gonna do with you?”
“Whatever you want. Don’t you know that by now?”
Trent Ramsey felt as though he’d been waiting for this night all his life. The grand opening of Dichotomy. He still had a hard time believing it was finally here. Everything was perfect. The place looked spectacular—far better than he’d ever imagined. He knew he owed his gratitude to Sarah and Dylan. They’d worked diligently getting it all in order, paying attention to every little detail.
Now, the only thing left to do was wait to see who showed up.
More importantly, he was waiting to see if she showed up.
She was a submissive looking for a Dom, after all.
And Trent was more than ready to fill the position.
Which was why he’d sent her an invitation. A personal one.
One he couldn’t imagine she could turn down.

I hope you enjoyed Dylan and Sarah’s story. I’ve mentioned it before, but it took me 3 years to write this book. It all had to do with the frame of mind that Dylan was in. Early on, I found that his depression directly affected my own, therefore I had to put the book away. I’m so glad that his story has now been told. And yes, this is the final book in the Club Destiny series, HOWEVER, there will be a spin-off series for Trent. Something a little edgier, more BDSM related. So, stay tuned for more information.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Writing this book has been bittersweet. When I first started writing this book three years ago, I didn’t know where it would lead me. Never did I dream that it would take me to the end of the Club Destiny series, yet here we are. CONVICTION was the very first book that I published as Nicole Edwards back in 2012, and I have to thank all of the readers who took a chance on me. The fact that it has become such a beloved series has surpassed all of my wildest dreams
Okay, now on to the acknowledgments. I know that I will likely leave out someone important, but here goes.
First of all, I have to say thank you to my amazing husband who puts up with me every single day. If it wasn’t for him and his belief that I could do this, I wouldn’t be writing this today. He has been my backbone.
I need to say a huge thank you to Jennifer Greeff. It is because you have stepped in to help me out as my assistant that I was even able to finish this book. Thank you. For everything.
I have to give a huge shout out to Carla Rogers. Carla, you were the very first person to ever email me in an author capacity and it so happened to be about the Club Destiny series. I had no idea what was in store for me at the time, but I thank you for opening my eyes and allowing me to see the great big Indie book world that is out there.
And Chancy Powley … you’ve been here with me since 2013. I’m pretty sure you were slightly disappointed (maybe more than slightly) with one of my books, and you wanted to offer feedback. Since then, you’ve beta read every single one of my books. I am grateful in ways I can never explain. And more importantly, I am honored to call you friend.
I have to thank my new beta readers – Amber Willis, Allison Holzapfel, and Karen DiGaetano. Ladies, I look forward to what the future has in store for us. Thank you for coming along for the ride.
A huge thank you to my proofreaders. Jenna Underwood, Annette Elens, Theresa Martin, and Sara Gross. It’s your attention to detail that has allowed this book to be the best that it can be.
I also have to thank my street team – Naughty (and nice) Girls – which has expanded in recent weeks. Traci Hyland and Maureen Ames, you have been with me for so long and I know there are times I don’t show you the appreciation you deserve, but I want you to know that your desire to get my name out there means everything. And a huge welcome to Cindy Rockey-Bocz, Michelle Nageldinger, Erin Lewis, Jackie Wright, Chris Geier, Kara Hildebrand, Shannon Thompson, Tracy Barbour, Nadine Hunter, Toni Thompson, and Rachelle Newham.
I can’t forget my copyeditor, Amy at Blue Otter Editing. Thank goodness I’ve got you to catch all my punctuation, grammar, and tense errors.
A huge shout out to Alfie Gordillo because, man, you’ve given me one seriously hot cover. The instant I saw that picture, I messaged you because I knew it was perfect for this book. It so happens that it took more than a year after that before I published the book, but I’m honored to have you on the cover. And a big thank you to Cassie Roop with Pink Ink Designs for making the picture possible. You’re a rock star behind the camera, and I hope you never stop doing what you’re doing.
Nicole Nation 2.0 for the constant support and love. You’ve been there for me from almost the beginning. This group of ladies has kept me going for so long, I’m not sure I’d know what to do without them.
And, of course, YOU, the reader. Your emails, messages, posts, comments, tweets… they mean more to me than you can imagine. I thrive on hearing from you, knowing that my characters and my stories have touched you in some way keeps me going. I’ve been known to shed a tear or two when reading an email because you simply bring so much joy to my life with your support. I thank you for that.
