Sea Breeze 02 - Because of Low

reached for the door handle before pausing and glancing back at me.
    “I didn’t know my teasing bothered you Ash. I’ll stop.”
    That hadn’t been what I was expecting him to say. Unable to think of a response I sat there holding his gaze.
    “I’ll get your car switched back before your parents see my truck at your house in the morning.” He stepped out of the truck and I watched him walk toward the door of his trailer with one of the sexiest swaggers known to man. Beau and I had needed to have this talk. Even if my imagination was going to go wild for a while, where he was concerned. My secret attraction to the town’s bad boy had to remain a secret.
    The next morning I found my car parked in the drive way as promised with a note wedged under the windshield wipers. I reached for it and a small smile touched my lips.
    “Thanks for last night. I’ve missed you,” he had simply signed it “B”

    Acknowledgments

    I have to start by thanking Keith, my husband, who tolerated the dirty house, lack of clean clothes, and my mood swings, while I wrote this book (and all my other books).

    My three precious kiddos who ate a lot of corn dogs, pizza, and Frosted Flakes because I was locked away writing. I promise, I cooked them many good hot meals once I finished.

    Monica Tucker, my best friend in the world and biggest fan. She doesn’t even read fiction, let alone young adult fiction, yet she read Because of Low and helped catch typos, pointed out problems in the story and cheered me on.

    Tammara Webber, my critique partner. When Tammara suggested we become critique partners I had a major “fan girl” moment. I adore her Between the Lines series. And of course I immediately JUMPED on that offer. Tammara’s advice, edits, and friendship are all major factors in the creation of Because of Low. She’s brilliant and I’m honored to be able to call her my CP as well as friend.

    The Paranormal Plumes http://www.theplumessociety.com / are a group of YA paranormal writers that I absolutely adore. We travel together to hold book signings and we support each other in our writing ups and downs. I love each and every one of them.

    And of course I have to mention my FP girls. I’m choosing not to share what FP stands for because my mother may read this and it will give her heart failure. Kidding... maybe. You girls make me laugh, listen to me vent, and always manage to give me some eye candy to make my day brighter. You are truly my posse.
