The Deliverance of Dilan (The Syndicate #4) (29 page)

With a screaming Diesel, who’s begging to be let down, because all of Alina’s nieces and nephews are in the water playing; a dozen women balling their eyes out; Cain and Calla’s shy daughter holding tightly to her dad’s hand; men shaking my hands; women placing their hands on my wife’s still flat stomach. This is how we spend our time. Bonding. Closeness. A connection made out of the strongest bind there is. Family.

If you thought it was over, you couldn’t be more wrong.

More threats. More murder.

One death. One family

Watch for EMPIRE. The series finale. Winter of 2016.

There are so many people to thank for this book.

First of all always and forever to my husband Tony. Every day is an adventure with you. We laugh, love and dream.

My children. Aaron and Shane. The day I became a mother was the best day of my life. It’s a job that I’m proud to say I’ve successfully mastered.

To my editor Julia Goda. Thank you from the depth of my heart for always coming through for me.

To CP Smith. My formatter. Thank god for you. You my love are a life- savor.

To Sommer Stein. Words don’t do your work justice. Again I have a brilliant cover. You amaze me with the talent you have.

To my blog girls. Oh lord. We could spend days going on about the four of us. But let’s just say my life is complete now that I have you.

To My BETA readers. Lord only knows what I would be doing if it wasn’t for you. You ladies catch the tiniest detail, the simplest mistake and the whoopers. You push me to be better and not one of you are afraid to tell me like it is. That’s love right there. That’s trust and a friendship that will be carried for the rest of my life.

Eric Battershell. No one will understand the friendship that you and I have. I’ve found a brother in you.

Lance Jones. I have found a friend in you. Your success has made me very proud. You have come a long way since day one. Keep living the dream.

To all my girls who are constantly posting and pimping my name everywhere. How can I even begin to thank you? You ladies put so much time and effort into what you do and expect nothing in return. You’re selfless and it show every day. I would be nothing and nowhere without you.

To every reader, blogger out there. Sweet baby Jesus, you have all welcomed me. Helped me become what I’ve always wanted to be. You read my stories, you message me with thanks when in reality it should be me thanking you. For without you, where would any of us who write be? Lost, empty and not living a dream. Not doing what we love to do and that is bringing the best stories into your world. Thank you for embracing my work. For the reviews. For the sweet gestures. I adore you.

And lastly. To my sanity, my helper, my friend Helena Rizzuto. I’d have my head buried in the snow by now if it wasn’t for you. The ideas you toss my way. The way you jump and have something done before I even ask you about it. The way you’ve come into my life and pulled those reins tight and took control. I adore you Helena. You are the greatest thing to have stalked me. HA!

Please leave a review for Dilan and Anna when you are done. Those reviews help Authors more than you will know.

Until next time,

Kathy.
