4. Discuss the character of Larry Wade. What might his childhood have been like? His relationship with his father? With Daphne? What was his role in Talon’s abduction? Do you feel he is any less guilty than the others? Why or why not? Do you believe he had anything to do with Colin’s disappearance?

12. Where do you think Nico Kostas is, and how will he return? Did the revelation of the third kidnapper surprise you? Why or why not?

    Melt
    , Jonah becomes the hero. What might the future hold for him? Who might his heroine be?
    

I
made
myself cry several times while writing
Possession
. Actually, this whole series so far has made me cry. I hope very much that you’ve all enjoyed this final volume of Jade and Talon’s journey. Bringing Talon to the point where he could finally let go has been both heart-wrenching and rewarding. And don’t worry! We’ll be seeing more of him and Jade.

Thanks so much to my amazing editors, Celina Summers and Michele Hamner Moore. Your guidance and suggestions were invaluable. Thank you to my line editor, Jenny Rarden, and my proofreaders, Angela Kelly and Claire Allmendinger. Thank you to all the great people at Waterhouse Press—Meredith, David, Kurt, Shayla, Jon, and Yvonne. The cover art for this series is beyond perfect, thanks to Meredith and Yvonne.

Thank you to the members of my street team, Hardt and Soul. HS members got the first look at
Possession
, and I appreciate all your support, reviews, and general good vibes. You ladies are the best!

Thanks to my always supportive family and friends and to all of the fans who eagerly waited for
Possession
. I hope you love it.

Be on the lookout for Jonah’s story, beginning with
Melt
, out on December 20th, 2016!
