FIRE (Elite Forces Series Book 2) (17 page)

Acknowledgements by Hilary

I read my acknowledgements from ICE and can’t think of one single word I’d change for this book!  It was the same crew bringing it together for this one and the same amazing people supporting us.  So please don’t get mad at me, but I feel I said it best in ICE!  So here are my acknowledgements!

Kathy Coopmans is an amazing woman and it has been an absolute pleasure beginning this journey with her.  I know this series will be epic because every single time we talk…. We enhance it.  The story unfolded beautifully as we both allowed the creative words to flow.  The lineup we have in mind is going to blow people away and I can’t wait to stand proud as fuck right next to you!  (Yes I’m the one that says fuck mostly through the book if you haven’t guessed lol.)

My husband and kids are my life.  Without their love and support I could never do any of this.  It is through them that I have learned to love, live, and take chances.  My heart is full because of these four.

Golden… My furious man!  You have been amazing to work with over the past two years!  This series will provide new ventures for us both and I know we’ll stand stronger for it in the end!  Lots of love my friend!

Dylan and Tessi.  My two fav hotties right now!  How in the world do you two plan to deal with us?  You’re stuck with us on this journey and I couldn’t be prouder!  Everything happens for a reason and I know deep in my heart this collaboration is just the beginning of careers that will flourish!  It’s through the love and support as a team that we will all conquer great things!

Julia- You made us look good in this!  Thanks for your cooperation in making this happen!  We’re so please to have you on board!

Betas… I want to thank you all for pointing out the imperfections!  We loved hearing from each of you and appreciate you taking the time to help make this possible!

SE Hall and Victoria Ashley- My loves!  I’m so glad you love Kaleb!  We can maybe work out some sort of trade with your guys if you really think you’re going to claim him!  He’s a hot one so bring your best to the table!  I know you both have them!

Our loyal followers who will love this and share it like crazy, just like they always do.  It is because of you that we keep writing with the urgency we do.  We can’t wait to share our stories with you so we can see how you react.  Thank you for always allowing us to be a part of your lives through our words.

This part is easy for me. I have to thank my partner Hilary Storm for this unbelievable journey we are on.

We are having the time our lives writing together. Even though we write differently, we still fit together perfectly. The way we consume each other’s ideas. Focus and plan. Our phone calls, text messages, all of it has been done in a way no words can express. The greatest thing about this is, our friendship has blossomed into one of a sisterhood. I will cherish her forever.

To my husband and children- Day in you hear about my stories. The support, the pride you show me when you honest to god listen will last beyond this lifetime.

To our editor Julia Goda- Snap woman. You are as badass as they come.

To Golden Czermak- The photo god. The genius. Thank you for everything you have done to make this possible for the two of us.

To our cover models Tessi and Dylan- We both look forward to this wild and crazy ride the four of us are about to set sail on. Damn, this is going to be fun.

To our BETA readers- We nailed it you said. Here’s to all of you.

To Helena Rizzuto- My friend, my sanity. What can I say, except thank you for always having my back. For jumping on board with this project and running free like the wind to help Hilary and I succeed.

To Lisa Shilling Heinz of The Rock Stars of Romance- You never disappoint me. You are one hell of a business woman. I appreciate you more than you will ever know.

To every reader/ blogger/ author who has shared. Will read. Leave an honest review for ICE. Hilary nor I could do any of this without you. Our work would lay stagnant on our computers. We would have nothing. It’s because of you we do. I’m eternally grateful.

To Victoria Ashley and SE Hall. Both Hilary and I are very sorry to tell you that Kaleb Maverick is ours. Although we may share. Maybe!
