A Taste of Pleasure (32 page)
She snuggled into Deacon's embrace. She had finally found her mate and her favorite flavor, and now . . . they would taste life together.
My life has been blessed by many angels. Some very close and others far away but very helpful. I wish to use this page to send my warmest thanks to them, you all know who you are.
We all have dreams and my dreams have come true, thanks to Robert L. Fenton and Deborah Lee Watson of the Fenton Entertainment Group, Inc., and Simon & Schuster: Malaika Adero, who opened the door; Jhanteigh Kupihea, who has continued to work with me to fulfill this dream; and D.J. DeSmyter, who continues to work with me; plus the staff at Simon & Schuster. A million thanks.
To all who read my words, never give up on your dreams, they do come true.
Special acknowledgements and recognition for those artists who seem to find words to fit all moods: Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood, and Hillary Scott's “Need You Now,” sung by Lady Antebellum; Rihanna's “Rude Boy”; Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal's “I'll be Seeing You,” sung by Billie Holiday; John Waite's “Missing You,” sung with Alison Krauss; and Frank Loesser's “Baby It's Cold Outside.” I would also like to give a notable thanks to
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
, which I mentioned in one of the chapters.
