Corps Security: The Series (156 page)

“Does that mean you’ll stop acting like a freak when I go out on dates?” Maddisyn laughs.

“I don’t fucking think so.”

“That’s what I thought.”

“So, please tell me what on Earth is so shocking about this big date that has you two running around like lunatics?”

“Oh, get ready for this,” Emmy says from the doorway before walking in. I move my chair back and wait for her to sit. “Everyone is freaking out because little Dani Reid is going on a date with Cohen Cage.”

Well, shit.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This is probably one of the hardest books I’ve written to date. The closer that I got to the end I was silently sobbing knowing that I was about to say goodbye to one amazing family.

I can’t thank you—my readers—enough for every single second of love and support that you have given the Corps Security family and me. These books started out as a dream and they’ve turned into something that even I can’t believe is real. Thank you to every single reader, blogger, author and friend that has been along this ride with me. I truly am a blessed woman.

To my family, for putting up with me when I get into tunnel vision writing mode. For dealing with the mountains of laundry when I forget that we still need clean stuff. For my husband cooking every meal—er . . . scratch that, you would do that anyway since we don’t want to die if I cook. I love you, my crazy party of 5.

My editor Mickey. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be anywhere without you. I have no idea how I survived without your brilliance before and I hope I never find out.

Melissa Gill—Thank you for not thinking I was going insane when I found the image of Locke and said ‘we have to change it all’ haha! The image that changed the face of Corps Security. Thank you for dealing with my crazy!

To Brenda Wright for getting the 6th ebook formatting together. Every single book I’ve written I’ve had you and your incredible friendship along the way. I love you, woman!

Stacey Blake—I don’t even know where to start.
I sometimes pull my paperbacks out and just flip through the pages with a huge smile. One that you’re responsible for. I can’t thank you enough for knowing exactly what I want and giving me even more. You’re paperbacks are something that make me cry happy tears.

Michael Stokes—I really can’t thank you enough for being the man behind this cover image. When I found this picture, this man, I knew he had to be my Maddox Locke. You made the process so effortless and for that, I thank you. You’ve given me the honor of having three of your images as the ‘faces’ of my men and I can’t wait to work with you more in the future.

Thank you to Andee and Hollie. I would still be looking at a blank screen if it hadn’t been for you two and your constant help. Hibachi and parking lot porn! <3

Rochelle Paige. I have no words to express this thank you. You were there when I needed you the most. You kept me from jumping off the ledge more times than I can count. I will forever owe you!

To Brooke Cumberland. Thank you for answering every single question that I threw at you and not wanting to bash my head in. Your help in making Maddox the man he is will be forever appreciated.

To my betas . . . I know I drive you crazy, but you still love me. HAHA! Seriously, this has been one hell of a ride and I can’t thank you enough for everything that you’ve done for me.
