As Kylie leaned in to return his kiss, she realized that right now, that was all she cared about, too.
He sang a line against her mouth, his lips brushing across hers. “Call me your tomorrow.”
This might be the end of her quiet life.
But she was suddenly okay with that.
Tabloids be damned
, she thought, and pulled Cole in closer. She could make her life picture-perfect, with or without them—but not without Cole.

Acknowledgments
First and foremost, credit for this book has to go to my amazing editor, Allison. Without her encouragement and advice, I don’t think I would have been able to make the jump to writing contemporary romance—and I wouldn’t have discovered whole worlds of book boyfriends just waiting for me to write them! I squee every time I see an email from her—she makes even the hard work of revision seem easy. I love working with you, girlfriend. Next, huge thanks to my mother, Glenda Collins—my first reader, my biggest fan, and the reason I learned to love reading and writing. You rock! To my husband Elson and our daughter Isabel: thank you for all your support in this, my latest career. I couldn’t do it without you. Thanks always to the Taylors for being willing to discuss love words, and for being my best friends for lo these many years. To Deb for keeping me connected to this world, even when my head is in the one I’m creating. And to everyone at Entangled: Stacy, Alycia, and Liz, you’re amazing. Special thanks to Entangled’s copy-editor, proofreader, cover artist, and publicist for making me look good. You’re all the best!
