Nina Levine: Dude, I stopped messaging you, but now I just ask the group… hahahaa! I still think you are all class and nothing less. Thank you for being awesome.

Louisa from LM Creations: My friend, Louisa, okay, so I promised with the last book that Sy’s book will be less painful… hahahaha, that was a promise I didn’t follow through with, so therefore I dedicate Sy to you. Now, I know you are awesome and disgustingly talented; however, you truly are so humble, so friendly and just a good person. You love hard, laugh lots and I can feel your passion through the screen. You know I would do anything for you. I can’t wait till March so I can squish you and try to make you blush. LOTS.

Becky Johnson: You are… a genius, pure genius, you take my words and you do something that only someone amazing can do. I love working with you. Your patience, your opinion and talking me down will never be forgotten. You’ve made this journey so smooth and I can’t wait to continue working with you.

To my Rebels: WOW, we have come so far! So far. Wow, so how do you tell a group of women that you owe them? You have made this journey beyond anything I could have imagined. You are my friends, the kind you never get rid of. You make me smile daily, laugh constantly and most of all you make me happy. I love you all! #CockOn

To ALL the Bloggers: Thank you for your support. I wouldn’t have been able to get my name out without you guys pimping Incandescent. Reviewing and loving the Knights Rebels boys just as much as I do has been so surreal to see. The whole journey has been crazy.

My Mr. Savage: We survived another one. Maybe barely and maybe with less hair, but we did it. You know, I know this wouldn’t have been possible without you. You really are one of the good ones. Up there with all our favorite men we love to read about. You love me without questions. You love me at my worst and have never faltered. You own my heart and don’t ever give it back. With the release of Affliction, I promise you to do this whole author business thing better. Thank you for being you: for getting me, for loving me. And most importantly, never leaving me. I love you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

An avid reader of romance and erotic novels, River’s love for books and reading fueled her passion for writing. Reading no longer sated her addiction, so she started writing in secret. She never imagined her dream of publishing a novel would ever be achievable. With a soft spot for an alpha male and a snarky, sassy woman, Kadence and Nix were born.
