The Scheme

But at the end of the day it's worth it to me and to my readers.

My process is long and heart wrenching. Even when I'm done editing, I look at my manuscript and think it's utter crap, but I've created characters I absolutely love and I hope I did their story justice.

When they said it takes an army, they weren't kidding! Without further ado, I want to thank the following people for helping me make this manuscript shine.

Angela-my developmental editor-aka the Character Whisperer. Thank you so much for calming me during my freak-out moments, helping me cut out repetition from my manuscript and making me dig deep with these characters. Your advice and friendship throughout this whole process has been amazing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Megan-my awesome copy editor!! I heart you like no other. You are my writer from another mother. Does that even make sense? Who cares! Thank you so very much for helping me make Brian and Kendy the best they could be. You are the bestest from the restest and I know we will have a long lasting editor/writer relationship until the end of time.

Becky, Kayla and your team from Hottree editing-you guys rock! Thanks for your patience at my forever lateness and helping me make this manuscript shine bright through your super power proofreading and beta services. You guys offer a service like no other and I'll be singing your praises for years.

To my awesome cover designer-Sommer Stein-I love my covers! That is all. And you're pretty great yourself.

To my patient formatter-Christine, thanks so much for accommodating my lateness and for your talented work. I absolutely love my interior designs and formatting of all my books.

And to my beautiful betas from Hot Tree and beyond-thank you for help, your time and your friendship. Know that I'm forever and ever grateful for all your honest feedback. Melanie, Kristi Ly

Sarah mother effing Reads-look how far your blog and company has come. Thank you for helping me with my tour, pimping me out on a daily basis, being my sunshine on a gloomy day and for just being you.

To my blogger friends-Short and Sassy Book Blurbs, Between the Spine, Reading in Sarah's Corner, Obsessed with Romance and Southern Vixens Book Obsession and many more that I've missed. Thank you for posting, pimping and for loving the characters I have created and the books that I write. I appreciate you guys so much.

To my readers-there is no me without you! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to escape into this story. I write purely to entertain so if this story made you laugh, cry or even mad at times, I completed my task. No words can describe how grateful I am that I have space on your Kindle, Nook or bookshelf. I'm truly honored.

To Happily Forever Afters…

The End.
