irst and foremost
, I need to thank everyone who emailed me, tracked me down on social media, or approached me at book signings to ask where the f*%k the sequel I promised you was. Honestly, this book wouldn’t exist without your persistence. I started and stopped this story probably a dozen times. I scrapped tens of thousands of words more than once to start over with a blank page. Something just didn’t feel ‘right’ to me, and I couldn’t put out a story that in my gut I knew was ‘wrong’ in some way. It took over a year, but here it finally is, and I owe that to you. Thank you for never giving up on Matty-B.

To Sarah Anderson, who never once doubted I’d finish this thing, even though I repeatedly said it just wasn’t happening. Thank you for letting me borrow Doris at the diner! To Nicki Bullard, my best friend, who (more than once) cleaned my house because I got lost in a writing haze and things went to hell all around me. Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do without you.

To my family (especially my dad, who reads all my books, even if he probably wishes he could *unread* some of those crazy things I’ve written). I love you.

Cynthia Rodriguez, my fellow Marvel-loving friend, thank you for being such a genuinely amazing person (and for texting me and reminding me when I was supposed to be writing). I really wish I could insert a bitmoji here, damnit.

Special thanks to Nikki Cook, who was kind enough to let me pick her brain with my nursing questions. I likely screwed it all up, but your explanations helped immensely!

So much love and gratitude to the super talented Shauna Kruse for the amazing cover photo, and to the stunning Michael Fagone for lending that gorgeous smile! I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect “Dante”.
