The One That Got Away (Kingston Ale House)

Thank you to my agent, Courtney Miller-Callihan, for falling in love with Jamie and Brynn’s story when it was nothing more than a three-paragraph proposal. You had faith in this story from inception, and that’s the best kind of encouragement. Thanks to my fabulous editor, Karen Grove, for joining me on my foray into a new category of romance and for sprinkling your magical editing fairy dust all over my words. I’m so lucky to work with you!

I have the best critique partners who are also the best of friends. I’m hoping that in the not too distant future we can speak via Facebook stickers only. [Insert dino sticker here.] Lia Riley, Megan Erickson, Natalie Blitt, and Jennifer Blackwood, you inspire me and keep me moderately sane. I love you and your words.

S and C, your snuggles and huggles are the best writing fuel. And life fuel. Mommy loves you.

And always, thank you, readers. I’m living a dream that you make possible, and I’m forever grateful.





About the Author


A.J. Pine writes stories to break readers’ hearts, but don’t worry—she’ll mend them with a happily-ever-after. As an English teacher and a librarian, A.J. has always surrounded herself with books. All her favorites have one big commonality—romance. Naturally, her books have the same. When she’s not writing, she’s reading. Then there’s online shopping (everything from groceries to shoes) and a tiny bit of TV, where she nourishes her undying love of vampires and superheroes. You’ll also find her hanging with her family in the Chicago ’burbs.
