The Right Kind of Love (33 page)

I rushed into his arms. He pulled out the ring and placed it on my finger. “Yes, yes! I can’t think of anything more perfect than spending the rest of my life with you.”

He tightened his embrace, and the crowd went nuts, clapping, and cheering us on. He kissed me tenderly on the lips, and I melted into a puddle of goo.

“I love you so much, Damien.”

“I love you too, Sydney.”

And with that, he had given me
special
and we were going to share it for the rest of our life.

Acknowledgments

A huge
Thank You
goes out to you the readers for taking a chance on my book. Without you, this would not be possible.

I have so many wonderful people in my life to thank. First off, I want to thank you, Andrea Smith, for encouraging me to write my own book. I never would have thought I had the ability to write without your faith in me. I appreciate all of the hours you spent helping me when I had questions and for being there for support. Love you, babe!

A huge thank you goes out to Harper Sloan, Mia Sheridan, Beth Rinyu, S.R. Grey, Cassy Roop, JB Morgan, Katie Mac, Amber Nation, and Renee Carlino. You authors rock. I can’t thank you enough for your endless support and for the help you have given me along this journey. I appreciate all your feedback and questions and for taking the time to help me. You all rock!

To my betas. You have held my hand and helped me with your feedback and your constant encouragement and support. Beth Foster, Amy Malek Concepcion, Jennifer Juersr, Jill Janesko, Dawn Johnson, and to the many others who I know have read a chapter here and there and have given me your honest feedback. You all are incredible. This would not be possible without you.

I want to give a special thank you to my girls, Jennifer Juersr and Beth Foster. You two have been a constant support with your brainstorming and devotion in helping me along the way. I can’t thank you enough for all of your time and work. I’m so glad to have met you, and well, you hold a pretty special place in my heart. I’m honored to call you both friends. Love you to the sky and back.

My girls. Melissa, Annie, Michele, and Nicole. You all are such a huge support to me, and I really appreciate it. Without your friendship, life wouldn’t be the same. Love you all!

Adrianne James, girl, you have my utmost love. You are one hell of a content editor. I’ve learned so much from you. At first, you scared the shit out of me, and then I realized that you really knew what you were talking about. Your edits were incredible, and your feedback was, without a doubt, beyond amazing. You helped make the story so much better. I can’t thank you enough for holding my hand and helping me get through this. I’m honored to call you a friend. You are one of the most genuine people I know and have a heart of pure gold. Love you!

Rogena Mitchell-Jones, you are one kick-ass editor. I’m so happy we met and that you took me on as your client. I cherish the friendship we have developed and hope we will have more books in our future.

Christine Stanley at the Hype PR, thank you so much for promoting me and getting my book out there!! You are very much appreciated. We have become friends, and I cherish the times we have spent together in person. You had put up with my bullshit and built my confidence back up when I needed it. You rock and hold a very special place in my heart. Much love!

Lindee Robinson, you are my cover guru. Your talent behind the lens, and then your creativity putting the cover together, blows me away. I love the cover for this book, and the many others that you have shot for me. I’m sure I drive you nuts, but get used to it, because you have a customer for life. Muah.

To the bloggers. It is not possible to do this without you. I can’t thank you enough for agreeing to review my book. Your hard work and time are truly treasured. Love you all!

There are just so many people to thank, and I’m sure I am missing someone. Please forgive me for not thanking you. I appreciate you always.
