  Dedication
  
  For my beta readers. None of my books would be possible without you. I can’t
  express my appreciation for all the work you do to make my stories shine. I
  value your insights and your ultra-quick turnaround times (yes, Kelly Ludwig,
  I’m talking to you!). Patience has never been one of my virtues.
  
  Special thanks to:
  
  The real life Roeser for lending my character your name. If I set the bar too
  high, blame Antonio.
  
  Michelle Boone for inspiring Ty’s club moves. Can’t wait until next time we
  roll the dice or start the chainsaw. Then we’ll add spinning the pizza too.
