The Intern Serials: Complete Box Set (43 page)

Bentley and Ceci Leighton welcome two precious bundles of joy!

Omaha, NE has two new residents as the iconic couple officially become parents early Sunday morning. The couple evidentially kept the news of expecting twins under wraps as their own friends and family were stunned by the announcement that Ceci had delivered two healthy babies, a boy and a girl.

A source close to the couple has reported that the parents and babies are doing exceptional and the new parents are beyond words ecstatic at their growing family. Congrats to the Leighton family!

Author’s Note

What a bittersweet feeling knowing that Bentley & Ceci’s story is over. These two…man, they have put me through an emotional rollercoaster. These past four months of back-to-back releases has been challenging, but it was so worth it to get each volume into your hands. I hope you ar
e satisfied with the continuation novella. Thank you for taking this wild journey with me! And please remember to leave a review!

Please keep up with me on social media to hear about my next projects coming up! A lot of exciting announcements coming soon.

Thanks!

One night was all it took…

One night to ruin everything I thought I knew.

From the outside, I had the perfect lifestyle.

Wealthy fiancé, blossoming career, amazing friends.

I wasn’t looking to get married yet, but when William—“Manhattan’s royalty”—charmed his way into my life, I couldn’t deny the security and comfort that overcame me.

To society, I was the girl only after his money. I was the party-goer who managed to seduce a man twice my age to have the lifestyle some could only dream of. I was every magazine’s cliché of what a gold-digging whore was.

I wanted to prove them wrong—that our love was real and that I wasn’t that girl.

But then everything changed.

One wrong decision. One unfaithful night. One haunting reality.

Perhaps they were right.

The media didn’t see it coming…and neither did I.

**This is a stand alone romance suspense novel with no cliffhanger. HEA depends on who you ask.**

Recommended for readers 18 and up due to strong language and explicit sexual content.

Acknowledgments

I don’t know why this is always one of the hardest parts, but it is. This isn’t a one-person journey by any means. There are several people a part of making this possible, making me sane, keeping me creative, and encouraging me to go on.

My husband.

He has supported me through this from the very beginning. I didn’t know where this would lead when I first hit that publish button on
Kitchen Affairs
. I was so new to the indie community, having no idea there was even such a thing. I didn’t know what an ARC meant, what a beta reader was, blog tours, blitz days, release day parties. I walked in blind to everything. And having to learn about all that wasn’t easy, so he was my verbal punching bag for a long time. Thanks, baby! ;)

My Street Team/Being Badass with Brooke Team.

You’re all the best pimpers ever. Thank you for reading, promoting, chatting, entertaining me with such great eye candy. Thank you, Betsy for keeping tabs on the group! You guys are amazing.

My betas—aka superwomen.

A lot of you have been with me since my second book (when I finally learned about betas!) And some of you are newcomers. Either way, you guys have been amazing. Also so quick to read when I need someone. Always quick on feedback and finding errors. I don’t think I could do this without you. Thank you all so much for all you do. I hope I haven’t scared you off and that you continue sticking around!

Author K.B. Webb—Katie.

Ever since you claimed Bentley as your baby daddy, I knew you were the kind of friend I wanted to keep around! I can’t express my gratitude enough of how much help you were beta reading After the Internship. You are the backbones of this story, and helped me mold it into what it is now. You became just as invested into Bentley & Ceci’s story as I was. A huge thank you for being quick to read and send me suggestions and feedback. I valued your opinion so much!! I hope you and Bentley get your sunset fairytale that you’ve fantasized about ;)

My blogger friends & team.

Bloggers, you are so selfless when it comes to promotion, reading, reviewing, and posting giveaways. The indie community is a success because of you. Huge thanks to the bloggers that are continuous supporters. Thank you for reading ARCs, purchasing copies, giving copies away, and loving authors and books. Thanks for your support. You are the anchor to bringing books to readers!

Readers.

You make all this possible. Thank you for purchasing a legal copy and spreading the word around of the books you love to other book lovers. Your support never goes unnoticed.

Author community & friends.

This industry is a competitive one. We all want the same thing—to write and our words to be read. It’s hard finding people that understand the stress and demands of being a self-published author. The support I’ve been able to find during this journey has been unimaginable. My author support group is what helps hold me up most days. The support of doing writing sprints, words of encouragement, and a safe haven to vent has become my second home. Thank you to the authors that I have the pleasure of calling friends!

Christine Stanley and The Hype PR Crew.

You’re more than just a team, you’re part of my family. Thank you for helping me create a way to continue writing without the added pressure of promotion. Thanks for rocking my socks. Kicking ass. Going above and beyond. You’ve earned the title, Brooke’s Bitch well.

My cover designer, Sommer at Perfect Pear Creative Covers and long-time editor, Rogena at Rogena Mitchell-Jones Manuscript Service.

Thanks for being part of my team!

Thank you, Sommer for making the most gorgeous covers for The Intern Serials. Thanks for putting up with my sas mouth as well.

Thank you, Rogena for always working on my tight schedules. Thanks for caring about my stories as much as I do, and thank you for teaching me along the way. It’s hard to believe, but we’ve been thru 10 books together already! So, here’s to the next 10!

And to anyone I missed! Thanks for reading this and for your support! I hope you check out the rest of my books if you haven’t already, and my future books!

Much love and thanks to all!

-Brooke xoxo
