If you were touched by this story, if your heart pounded, if your soul swooned, if you loved it, thought about it, smiled over it, please consider telling a friend and leaving a review. Your words, spoken and written, are more powerful than you know, and to an author, they’re like water and air and life. You may think you’re just one person, just one reader, but to me, you are much more than that. You are a person who helped change my life . You are a person who can make a difference every time you pick up a book, leave a review, or recommend that book to a friend. Each and every time you do this, you play a vital role in an author’s life. You play a vital role in MY life, and for that I am more grateful than you’ll ever know. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
Until next time…
Michelle

Acknowledgments
Firstly—always first—I’d like to thank God for giving me the gift of writing and crafting stories. I never dreamed I could love my job, or that my job could be my passion. It’s a blessing I never thought to ask for, but one I’m profoundly grateful for. Every day. My deepest desire is to use my words for good.
Secondly, to every amazing blogger who read and supported this unique story, you are awesome! You’ve been with me through romance and heartbreak and now a story with a darker edge. Your loyalty, your cheering, your dedication to helping authors like me to spread the word to readers is a precious gift. I love you.
Thirdly, to Kat and Courtney, the first to read this so long ago, thank you for championing it. To my TMR, Addison, Maria, Jess, Becky, Rachael, Stephanie, Courtney D., and Sarah, thank you for being willing to give this an early read so I could feel better about doing something so different. Y’all have made me bold and brave, and I’m so grateful for you!
About the Author
New York Times , USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, M. Leighton is a rarely ever comfortable speaking about herself in the third person, but here goes. Michelle is a former nurse who has always harbored a passion for the written word, a weakness for alpha males, and a profound love of all things romantic. Never in her wildest dreams did this Yankee-turned-Southerner imagine her life as it is today. She has the best job in the world, a husband who treats her like a princess, and a dog that's so smart she may one day write a novel, too. You can often find Michelle hidden away in her cave, crafting a new story, or out in the sunshine enjoying some quiet time with her man. Movies and good food are frequently thrown into the mix, and exercise on days that start with Q. She loves wine, chocolate, the color red, and you can find out more about her at www.mleightonbooks.com.
