Rough & Rugged (Notorious Devils Book 3) (43 page)

As an only child, Hayley Faiman had to entertain herself somehow. She started writing stories at the age of six and never really stopped.

Born in California, she met her now husband at the age of sixteen and married him at the age of twenty in 2004. After sixteen years together, he’s still the love of her life. Hayley’s husband joined the military and they lived in Oregon, where he was stationed with the US Coast Guard, before they moved back to California in 2006, where they had two little boys. Recently, the four of them moved out to Hill Country in Texas, where they adopted a new family member, a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Most of Hayley’s days are spent taking care of her two boys, going to the baseball fields for practice, or helping them with homework. Her evenings are spent with her husband and her nights—those are spent creating alpha book boyfriends.

I want to thank every person who took a chance on what lied beneath the cover of my books. I appreciate you more than you could ever know.

I always say a special thank you to my husband, my best friend, and the man who supports me in every single one of my dreams. He’s my biggest cheerleader and the man who has owned my heart for the past sixteen years. Thank you babes.
