“It was written in a way that I got very emotional reading it, most books don’t make me cry. This one did.”—Amazon reviewer on Jaded Heart

“As usual, Shaw creates characters that can be hard to like. Garrett is not easy to connect to. He treats Angie like crap, but Angie keeps fighting for them. Their flameout moment is painful to read about but very necessary. Garrett has to deal with his past, which he has been avoiding for years and years. With all of this, I still couldn't put the book down.”— Romance Novel News on Jaded Heart

For you…

Acknowledgments

My shout-outs are as follows—in no particular order:

My darling, Shane Rice, aka my brother from another mother. My favorite cover model of all time. My convention partner in partying and drinking totally innocent fun… A million thanks for the totally awesome, very, very naughty hood of the GTO sex scene. Who knew you had such a dirty imagination? Well…I suppose I did, but that doesn’t count, does it? Anyway, much love, my friend!

To Robert Gawe, aka my adopted Dad. Thank you for your extensive law enforcement information—including the lecture about never bringing a knife to a gunfight. As if I didn’t know? Sheesh. Anyway, I love you and appreciate you more than I can ever express. Thank you for always being there.

My dear friend, Dawn Vasaeo. Thank you for letting me babble for far too long in your ear to figure out my plotting issue. Girl, you totally saved my ass! Seriously.

My ex-husband, Terry “Wookie” Hoffman. For discussing the plot of this book with me pretty much every two weeks, and sometimes in between, until I finally finished it. Also, for your extensive badass biker knowledge and as usual, your never-ending support and encouragement.

My awesome friend, Bill. For your willingness to share some majorly important things in order to give me details and facts about those kinds of things… (Don’t worry, he’ll know what I’m talking about.)

My beautiful cousin, Lisa Ruiz, for her medical scene information.

Anthony Garcia, for his Phoenix PD information.

Luis at 3-D Bail Bonds in Connecticut: Thanks for all the helpful info on your procedures. 

My sprinting partner and pretty much favorite person on the planet, author Sidda Lee Rain. Jeez, where do I start? Where do I end? There’s just so much. Okay, here goes: Plotting. Writing sprints. Never-ending encouragement. Late-night FaceTime talks that went on way too long while I babbled about where the hell this book was going. Then, me saying a trillion times that I JUST COULDN’T DO IT! And then when I finally did it, and it was all said and done, you read the book and told me what needed to be fixed. I seriously love you, woman.

My Megan Hart…just thank you. For all the things. All of them. And then more of them. I love you, Bebe. You are my confidant, my friend and my mentor and just…all the things.

To my wonderful beta readers: Marchelle Lagueux, Sherri Zak, and Samantha Pereira. As always, your feedback is invaluable! More love for Sherri Zak for being my typo-finding queen and to Sunnie Andrews for her pass of line edits. MWUAH! David Faulkner for proofreading the final version.

Last but not least, shout out to Pandorasparlour.com! Work it, Meredith!
