“I’m going to miss having her over as often as we do now,” I confess, and his arm tightens for a moment.
“Boston is close. We can visit her whenever you want,” he says, and I lean my head against his shoulder. He might not admit it, but he’s going to miss her, too. There are people you meet in your life, people you just know are going to do amazing things, and Tamara is one of them. I’m lucky to know her and even luckier that I have gotten to witness her growing up into the beautiful woman she is becoming.
Acknowledgments
First I have to give thanks to God, because without him none of this would be possible. Second I want to thank my husband. I love you now and always—thank you for believing in me even when I don’t believe in myself. To my beautiful son, you bring such joy into my life, and I’m so honored to be your mom. Thank you, Mom, for being here and stepping in when I need you. Thank you to my agent, Susan, for believing in me. I’m so grateful to have you in my corner.
Maria, thank you for taking a chance on me, and Melody, I loved working with you on this book. Thank you for all your help and advice. And thank you to the rest of the Montlake editing team—you are all amazing.
To every blog and reader, thank you for taking the time to read and share my books. There would never be enough ink in the world to acknowledge you all, but I will forever be grateful to each of you.
I started this writing journey after I fell in love with reading, like thousands of authors before me. I wanted to give people a place to escape where the stories were funny, sweet, and hot and left you feeling good. I have loved sharing my stories with you all, loved that I have helped people escape the real world, even for a moment.
I started writing for me and will continue writing for you.
XOXO Aurora
