Acknowledgements
This story could not have come to fruition without a ton of assistance. I’d like to thank my very first readers, Denise Grover Swank and Alessandra Thomas, who said it was worth revising and showing to more people. To my beta readers—Andy Newman, Leigh Ann Kopans, Kristi Belcamino, and Angi Black—your feedback was priceless.
I have a fantastic copy editor for this project; Jim Thomsen, thank you so much for fixing all of my grammar and structure faux pas and for making me look as good as humanly possible. My proofreaders are the reason you’re not bombarded by extra space and missing words, and without them the reading experience would be less enjoyable—thanks Leigh Caroline and Adelicia Morris.
Last, I’d like to thank the writers who opened the doors to this new category of New Adult. You went first and blazed a trail that I’m thrilled and excited to be on. And as always, to the people who read my stories—you’re the best part.
About the Author
I’ve long had a love of stories. A few years ago decided to put them down on the page, and even though I have a degree in film and television, novels were the creative outlet where I found a home. I’ve published Young Adult under a different name, but when I got the idea for
Broken at Love
(my first New Adult title), I couldn’t wait to try something new – and I’m hooked. In my spare time I watch a ton of tennis (no surprise, there), play a ton of tennis, and dedicate a good portion of brain power to dreaming up the next fictitious bad boy we’d all love to meet in real life.
