After the class was over and the last member left, she walked over to Lance and laid her head on his chest. He hugged her tightly to him. “I love you,” she said.

“I love you too, babe.”

Never would she have believed she would love another human being the way she did this man. He made her life fuller, happier, and if she had to move again, she would without hesitation, as long as he was by her side.

His phone pinged, and she released him so he could grab it. As he looked at the text, a huge smile broke over his face.

“What?” she asked.

“I got a lead.”

A lead. Not a call. Lance hadn’t gotten a call in three months. He’d stopped working dispatch and had focused his business solely on repo’ing. He loved every second of it. He was excited about his job, excited about a lead, excited about the research.

“I’ll pick up Skylar, then.”

“Thank you.” He gave her a swift kiss and hurried out of the barn.

She’d gotten an instant family when she’d moved to Kansas. She loved Skylar as if she were her own. She placed her hand low on her flat belly, a secret smile on her lips. And in a few months, they would be adding one more.

Acknowledgments

I’m thrilled to bring you guys three more books in the Love to the Extreme series. I had a lot of fun with Lance’s story. He’s the only fighter in my series who does not professionally fight and it was an awesome change of pace. Now I delve into Brody’s story. I know a lot of you have been waiting for that one. Thank you to all my readers who helped keep this series alive for three more books. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate each and every one of you.

I also want to thank Liz Pelletier and Robin Haseltine for being amazing and helping me take HEALING LOVE to the next level during editing. I always come away from edits mentally beat down, and this time was no different, but I’m
always
extremely proud of the end result. You guys are fantastic editors.

Thank you to all my Abby Addicts. You guys are awesome and you have no idea how much I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to help me spread the word about my books.

Thank you to my partner in life, Ron. This was the first time he had to go through the whole editing/deadline thing with me. You did amazing, babe. Thank you for being supportive and understanding when I’d have my “crazy writer” moments. You were an addition to my life I wasn’t expecting, and I count myself lucky every day that I found you and your two amazing kids to round out my life. I love all of you.

As I always close out an acknowledgement, thank you to my kids. You two are amazing, and I love you.
