She sighed and rested her cheek on my chest. Her tiny whisper, traveled from below. “Is this for real?”

“Yeah, it’s all bought and paid for, babe.” For as long as I lived, Everly would be wanting for nothing. Even if that meant I had to sit back and watch her achieve it on her own.

She shook her head and looked up. “I mean this life. Us.” Her eyes softened. “Is this for real?”

I pulled her into my body, wrapping my arms around her as tightly as I could. “It’s very real.”

Everly Parker had changed my life. I could never repay her for the confidence she’d held in me, the belief that I could be anything that I wanted.

“You and I are going to get everything in this life that we want, and not because we have money.” I kissed her forehead. “Because we have each other.”

For my mom, who let me follow my own path.

Acknowledgments

I loved writing this book. It was a strange and simple task. Never has an idea flourished so vividly in my mind and never have the words flown onto the screen with such ease. I hope you love reading Everly and Max’s journey as much as I loved writing it.

Thank you to Sue Grimshaw! Your endless excitement and support during this whole process has been refreshing and much appreciated. Thank you for taking a chance on an heir to a porn empire.

Thank you to my agent, Victoria Lowes. Here’s to many more years of plotting.

Thank you to Amanda Usen and her super brainstorming skills. It’s amazing to have a job that makes it acceptable to talk about heroes with librarian fetishes.

Thank you, Cari Quinn, for inspiring me to try my hand at New Adult.

As always, thank you to the ladies who keep me sane, Lindsay Below, Stacey Kennedy, Cristal Ryder, and Debra Kayn.
