Lisa Reid - Mere words cannot describe how thankful I am for our chance encounter through that nasty woman on a FB group that shall remain nameless! That day led to one that has literally changed my life as a writer. You have helped guide me along the way and have introduced me to so many amazing readers and fellow authors. For every time I came to you in need, you threw out a lifeline and reeled me in. I feel like I have made a friend for life and for that I am eternally grateful!
Autumn Bronson - Your attention to detail is amazing! I loved how we chatted every day and found myself missing those chats when the editing was complete. I need to keep cranking out stories so I can look forward to you making me laugh some more. Thank you for the time and energy you dedicated to helping me achieve my dream. Just remember that whenever you crank out that first page, or even that first paragraph, I will be there to cheer you on and help you turn it into a bestseller!
Mandy Sawyer - Girl, you are some kind of crazy, and I love it! You made me laugh, and howl, at some of your messages. I loved your insight to Jesse and Rhyann's love story. I am so glad that I was able to share this journey with you. You have helped make it fun and reminded me how important it is to step back and let it sit awhile. You are amazing and I can't wait to work with you again!!
Rana Robinson - Without your help there wouldn't have been a title change, and I'm so glad we decided to change it! Our chats in the middle of the night were enlightening and hilarious! I had so much fun sharing this journey with you. I am grateful for your amazing feedback and for being there as I hashed out the final title via FB messages. I look forward to seeing what the next story brings us.
Clare Sidgwick - Thank you for being the first to write me a review, and an amazing one at that! Your kind words brought a smile to my face in the midst of a rough day of formatting. I look forward to sharing many more stories with you in the future. Be on the lookout for Jesse's story!

Shawn - Girlfriend, you have been in this with me through thick and thin. You were there 30 years ago when I wrote my first romance novel, and to this day you are the only other soul who has read it! You told me back then that one day I would make it, and here we are. While I'm not sure that I've made it just yet, I am proud to say that I am on my way, and I owe a lot of that to you. You have loved me and cheered for me along the way. I love how I can shoot you a text and share a sexy scene with you and you don't judge, you just beg me for more (haha)! I love you and I thank God for bringing you into my life way back when. We may be a bit older, but between you and me I think we've only gotten better!! Hold on to your ass because I've got a lot more stories just itching to come out and I'm counting on you to be there for me. I love you girl!
To everyone that is part of the Facebook Group HEA Seekers Book club - Thank you for your support, coming to my rescue, and making me laugh while I was fighting with my table of contents and having a meltdown. Jess Hodges, DE Kermon, Kirsty Turner, and Rhiannon King - You ladies are amazing! You jumped right in and took a chance on a new author and I can't thank you enough for that level of trust. Your reviews and willingness to chat with me on messenger when I was doubting myself have been such a blessing.
To fellow authors Lauren Stewart, Brittainy C. Cherry, and Caisey Quinn - I would like to thank each of you for your advice, support, making me laugh, your amazing stories, for being an inspiration, and for simply giving me the time of day when I asked for help. Mere words can't adequately describe how much that meant to me.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I have been a lot of things throughout the course of my life, but being a wife and mother remain at the top of my list. Writing is my passion and you can usually find me sitting at my laptop, or frantically jotting down a new idea in one too many notebooks. I love creating new characters, and I squeal with delight when I receive feedback on anything I have written.
I currently reside in the Midwest with my husband of more than 20 years, and our two children. We live in a house that we designed and built, and, thanks to my doting husband, it remains clean while I get lost in the world of my current story.
My daughter is a graphic designer, and together we have created covers for each of my published books.

From the author of Across the Miles, comes the sequel to the love story of Sebastian and Brooke. Go back to the days after Brooke left for London, and find out what happened to place Sebastian in that hotel room with nothing but memories and a bottle of whiskey.
What happens to America's favorite rock star when his picture perfect life falls apart? Again…
Sebastian and Brooke had a fairy tale romance, until one choice tore them apart. Brooke's decision to move away and run Max Wolf's struggling restaurant, Lardon's, stands in the way of Sebastian's plan to propose on the night of his birthday. They have a fight and he takes off, leaving her to board a plane to London without saying goodbye. While there, she meets Reid, a handsome chef who just happens to live in the same building she now calls home. Their newfound friendship, and Reid's attraction to her, only adds to the strain on her already fragile relationship with Sebastian.
Then, one out of control night changes everything as they know it, and their relationship is put to the test. Now, do they fight for what they love? Or choose to walk away? Will facing your demons destroy you? Or make you stronger? Surely, a love that was meant to be can face any obstacle.
A force too strong to ignore. A need so deep it aches. Undying love.
A heart may be broken, but it keeps on beating. And never gives up.
