Lost in Us (41 page)

This second book in the series tells Jessica and Parker’s story. It can be read as a standalone.

The first time our paths crossed, I ran away.

Now. . .I don’t have that kind of strength anymore. Because underneath the sleek Armani suit and the sweet British accent that makes me crave his touch, Parker isn’t the perfect gentleman everyone thinks he is.

He’s exactly what I don’t want, but desperately need.

A bad, bad boy.

re are so many people who helped me fulfill the dream of publishing this novel, that I am utterly terrify I will forget to thank someone. If I do, please forgive me. Here it goes.

First, I’d like to thank my editors, Karen and Janet, whose hilarious comments and little smileys inserted along the manuscript made the editing process as enjoyable as the writing process. And also thank you for making me write that one. . .delicious scene.

A big thank you goes to the Black Firefly Team. You made my road to publishing this novel so much easier and enjoyable. Jade, your blurb-writing skills and willingness to answer every single question I had, no matter how silly, saved my life. Thank you also introducing me to Ari, who blew me away with this beautiful cover.

I want to thank every blogger and reader who took a chance with me as a new author and helped me spread the word. You have my most heartfelt gratitude. To my street team. . .you rock !!!

Last but not least, I would like to thank my family. I would neve
r be here if not for their love and support. Mom, you taught me that books are important, and for that I will always be grateful. Dad, thank you for always being convinced that I should reach for the stars. 

To my sister, whose numerous ahem. . .legendary replies will serve as an inspiration for
many books to come,
I say thank you for your support and I love you, kid. 

To my boyfriend, who always, no matte
r what, believed in me and supported me th
rough all this whether by happily taking on every chore I overlooked or accepting being ignored for hours at a time, and most importantly encouraged me whenever I needed it, I love you and I could not have done this without you.
