Borrowed (Embracing Series) Read online

  I hope you all enjoy reading my books as much as I did writing them.

  My Hubby- Thank you so much, for always listening to my ideas. You have been my number one supporter since day one. I love you so much more for that! You understand how important my writing and my characters are too me. Thank you for always cleaning and cooking when you saw me with my face buried in my laptop. I know you work very hard to support us and I appreciate you very much. I couldn’t do this without you. You aren’t only the love of my life but you are my best friend.

  Mom- You are my number one fan. Thank you for pimping me out to your co-workers and friends. I know you aren’t a book person, but you listen to all my ideas and have always supported any of my decisions. I love you so much and hope that I make you proud.

  To My Readers- Thank you all for reading my books, I know some parts of my books are hard to read and at times you want to throat punch one of my characters. This series means a lot to me. There is so much love, drama and angst in each book. I hope that you continue to read the series, you will not want to miss what’s next. Thank you all for supporting me.

  Amber Nation- Girl, I’m so thankful for you. I love our daily chats, whether we talk about our books, our latest reads, or the weather I enjoy it. I love the fact that when I share my ideas with you, you always tell me if it sounds good or not. You have become a great friend. I’m looking forward to our signing road trips. We are going to have a blast.

  Casey Bond- You have been a wonderful friend. I appreciate all of your help and information that you have given me along this journey. Anytime I have a question you answer it. Thank you for being a beta for Borrowed and giving me your feedback and suggestions, it meant a lot to me. I hope to meet you in person someday. I will have to make a trip to WV then we can go to Stewarts together. Thank you for suggesting I use Anna as my editor!!

  Melissa Rolka- You know I am a fan of yours, and it meant so much to me when you took time out of your busy schedule to read Borrowed. Giving me all of your opinions and suggestions really made a difference. You have always helped me promote my books and I thank you so much. I’m glad that we have become friends. Can’t wait to meet you in person.

  My Cover Designer Robin Harper at Wicked by Design- You absolutely rock!! I love working with you, you take my ideas and turn them into these awesome covers. You always give me your opinion when I give you my ideas, that’s what I love about you! Thanks for everything.

  My Editor Anna Gorman Coy at AGC Editing Services- First I would like to say you are an amazing editor, I’m honored to work with you. You took Borrowed on at the last minute and helped me make it what it needed to be. What started as a small novella turned into novel length! I knew the potential was there, but I didn’t see it until you brought it to my attention. Knowing that Evan and Tatum’s story touched you just as much as it did me, made my heart smile. You know not everyone is an Evan fan after reading Embracing Love but you are. I love working with you and look forward to working on the next books with you. You have helped me make Borrowed what I wanted it to be. Thank you for everything!!

  My Formatter Karen at White Hot Ebook Formatting- You’re amazing!! I love working with you and look forward to working on the rest of my series with you. Thank you for all that you do.

  Once Upon A Time Covers- Thank you for making all the little pretties on the inside of my books. I love the fact that I tell you what I want and you always have it back to me in a day or two. Thank you for all your help.

  To All My Family and Friends- I love you all so much and this wouldn’t be possible without your support. I am very proud to have all you in my life.

  Wine Kindle and My Relaxation- Thank you for hosting my tours, blitzes, and cover reveals. You ladies do an amazing job.

  To All The Bloggers and My Swag Girls-Thank you so much for promoting Embracing Love and Borrowed. Thank you for all of your honest reviews and help.
