To Jill and Christa, My favorite Canadians — Thank you for inspiring me daily. Your love and loyal friendship has taught me so many things over the past year. Our group chats are a continual basis for strength and rock solid support in this amazing industry we work in. Thank you for making me laugh, giving it to me straight and offering encouragement in everything I do. Love you both! #TeamUni #PHPhc

To Rachel, My Soul Sister — I knew from the moment we met we would become great friends. I enjoy all of the therapeutic texts and epic phone calls that should be illegal at times! Thank you for all the amazing advice and for sharing your experiences with me as we navigate through the craziness. Mostly, I am inspired by your humor, passion, work ethic and business savvy. I am honored to call you my friend. xoxoxo

To the wonderful Authors who continue to be supportive of me — TC Matson, Fabiola Francisco, Susan Ward, Salem Archer, KL Shandwick Terri Lyndie, and Nicky White. Thank you all for everything from the bottom of my heart.

Andrea Telenga, Danielle Hartle and Jen Maynard — Thank you for always supporting me in all my endeavors. Every message, text and phone call, no matter how long or short, means so much to me. I am always thinking of each of you. “True Friends won’t grow apart, even if they don’t talk every day.” This quote always reminds me of the three of you individually and what your friendship means to me. I love you all.

Endless appreciation to my friends old and new, online friends, and all the fan girls (Amy, Jennifer C., Tiffany, Carolyn, Debra, Laurel and Alice) who have shown so much excitement for this book and helped me introduce Ronan Connolly to the world.

Chas Jenkins at RockStar PR & Lit — I cannot say thank you enough for helping me promote this book that I love so much. You are a rock star! xoxoxo

Writer Christy Pastore grew up in the lakeside community of Syracuse, Indiana writing short stories that usually involved characters who loved to travel, had a passion for fashion and often times were swept up in boy crazy crushes involving coming of age situations with their best girlfriends.

After giving up reading books for several years disillusioned with the annoying characters and predictable plot lines. Upon the recommendation of a friend, Christy picked up a much buzzed about popular romance novel which reminded her of why reading was an enjoyable guilty pleasure.

Writing, more specifically creative writing has been a constant in Christy’s life, even leading her to create a popular fashion blog, Fashion Wrap Up, allowing her the wonderful experience of working and collaborating with many talented models, designers, makeup artists and photographers in the Fashion Industry. While Pastore still writes about fashion and celebrity style in her spare time, her passion for story development, publishing and content creation has taken her on a new journey and career path: Author.

Additionally, Christy enjoys a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc, a warm cup of coffee, Gummi Bears, traveling and tweeting her thoughts on her favorite TV shows.

Christy and her husband Kevin currently reside in St. Louis, Missouri in the popular Italian Neighborhood, The Hill with their two lovable dogs and cooler than cool cat.
