The soft music ends when Holly reaches her spot, the sounds of an acoustic guitar now coming to life, filling the small chapel. Our family and friends come to their feet, but I only have eyes for Nix.

Standing in a white dress shirt, black pants and his cuts, he holds the hand of Z, both smiling over at me. It didn’t take much to convince him to wear a suit. He agreed, but the cuts stayed. Jesse, Brooks, Sy, and Beau also followed his lead, wearing matching attire. There isn’t much the boys wouldn’t do for me. I know they only do it for Nix—keeping me happy keeps him happy—but I like to think they love me enough to grant me one small wish, even if they do try to push me for a reaction. Having them standing there on our special day, on their best behavior, was my only wish.

After the bachelor and bachelorette party, I wouldn’t put it past them to try something. Canceling the male stripper Holly ordered for me, and replacing him with a female was the start of a very eventful night. Waking up to the messages that Nix was in jail the next day was the last thing I wanted to hear hung-over. Nix was more pissed at his shaved eyebrows and shaved balls than him ending up in jail. I was beyond mad, telling them all if they pulled any funny business at the wedding, there would be hell to pay. Nix made them promise no shit during the ceremony, but I know the party is a free-for-all. I'll be cleaning up the clubhouse for days. My new role as old lady is already a daunting task, but one I’ll take on with an open mind.

I quickly glance up, my eyes locking onto Nix’s. He’s watching me, taking every inch of me in. All my nerves and worries are gone by just one look. No words spoken, no smile given, the only encouragement I need is staring back at me with his emerald green eyes. I draw in an exhilarating breath; these men are my life, my family and my world.

I take my first step to them, knowing I’m walking toward my ultimate happiness, unwavering love and the most beautiful thing of all, my amazing family.

Sy’s Story

Acknowledgments

I can’t believe I’m even writing an acknowledgement page. So in saying that, there are many people I need to thank.

Alissa Evanson-Smith: Lovely, there are no words. I feel like I found this friend at this amazing time in my life. You have become part of my daily life and I honestly feel lost if I don’t talk to you at least once a day. You have been there for me from day one, and I can’t thank you enough. I love you hard woman.

My C.O.W.s- Alissa, Ash, Jess and Bel:

You ladies seriously are the best. Thousands and thousands of messages, laughter, tears, miles, you name it. You all have been so supportive of me and there is no way I would even be sitting here writing my final words of Nix and Kadence’s story. This one is for you guys.

P.S Seriously, if ANYONE ever read our private MSG threads, I would die. Fall over and die. You girls are crazy, funny, smart, and beautiful. Oh, and downright dirty. I don’t know what I would do without all. I DUCKING love you all... Quack!

Thank you to my lovely beta readers, Jodie, Gil, Stephanie, Bella, and Angela. Your enthusiasm for Nix and Kadence pushed me to be better. Get ready for Sy and Holly; things are only just getting started.

Kylie, from Give Me Books: Do you get sick of all the acknowledgments you’re in? No? Good. Thank you for the hard work you do. I appreciate it more than you know. You are the blogger to end all bloggers.

C.P. Smith: You really went above and beyond and really helped me more than I can thank you. You are a gem and I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you have done for me.

Nina Levine: Dude, I think you must cringe every time my name comes up on FB messenger. Ha-ha. You, my friend, have shown me the true meaning of helping out your fellow author. You, lady, have class and I will be forever grateful.

Louisa from LM Creations: Girl, I feel like I should dedicate Nix and Kadence to you. You, my friend, rock my world. I can’t believe you still like me after the many changes, and the many mess-arounds we have endured. I promise Sy’s book will be less painful. If not, then I’ll dedicate that book to you also.

Thank you to the many people who saw me through this book; to all those who provided support, talked things over, read, wrote, offered comments, allowed me to bug you with questions. Thank you.

To my Rebels: You ladies truly are amazing. From the hot naked men, to the outrageous things we get up to. You all rock my world. I love you hard. (Even if you spam my news feed with cock.)

To the Bloggers: Thank you for your support. I wouldn’t have been able to get my name out without you guys pimping my book, sharing my teasers and just supporting me through.

And finally:

My husband, who cheered me on, kept me fed, looked after the children and didn’t complain once. You married a crazy person, do you know that? This year, hell, our life, has always been crazy. Without you none of this would even be possible. I could never have accomplished half the things I have without you by my side. You get me. You love me. And most importantly, you’ve never left me. I love you.
