It was
the same touch that had driven her into a frenzied passion and had
brought her to a whole new level of ecstasy in the
grove.
And now,
it was real.
She
looked at those mesmerizing blue eyes that crinkled at the sides as
he smiled. This time, his eyes weren’t haunted anymore. They were
happy and at peace.

him once more. “I’ve got you.”

… Thank you
To Cora Graphics , my sister,
my friend, thank you for creating this amazing cover. You are
extraordinary at what you do. If it wasn’t for your random
creativity, this story may have never been told.
To Tracy Stephen , thank you
for being my best friend and editor. You and your family have
become a part of my own. I look forward to our morning edit
sessions over coffee; they’re more fun than they are work. I truly
couldn’t do this without you nor would I want to.
To Gayle Latreille , thank you for being my assistant, dear friend and
confidant. You are second-to-none in what you do. You keep me
grounded, you make me laugh, and I definitely couldn’t have done
this without you either.
Over the
past year I have formed many wonderful and lasting friendships on
Facebook. There are a few friends that I’ve had the privilege to
really get to know outside the realm of Facebook and we’ve formed a
special bond. I’ve even had the honor of getting to know some of
their families and they’ve gotten to know mine as well. I would
like to give a special acknowledgement and thank you for letting me
become a part of your lives to Christi
Doporto , Chrissy
Peebles , Deborah
Gafford , Dora-lee
Harrison , Karen
Roma , and Nicole
Garcia . Your friendship will always have a
special place in my heart.
