Hi All,
Usually, I have a note at the end of every book telling you about what comes next or swag or some other fun stuff. But I felt like this story deserved something different. A little backstory.
While it is perfectly okay to enjoy this book as entertainment, the underlying piece of this comes from a recent realization in my life.
It’s insane, but despite my beautiful children, loving husband, triumphs, and degrees, I realized that there is something broken in the way I think. And I’m not alone.
Getting older, grayer, and larger has made me question my self-worth. But here’s the kicker: When I was 15, 19, 22, 28, 35 and 42, the face staring back at me in the mirror has always been the same: Not good enough. 110 pounds or 190, I’ve despised aspects of my body equally.
This book was never about a young woman looking for acceptance, but about that derailing inner voice determined to sabotage our best intentions and potential. It tells us women that we don’t deserve to love ourselves because we’re not perfect. And it’s toxic. (Just like Mr. Cole’s mother.)
But we all know that beauty fades. And true love does not. And that includes self-love. So I hope if you’re like me—constantly struggling to keep your fugly voice from taking you down—this story will inspire you to never give up and trust those who love you. There is a reason they love you: because you deserve it. And when those moments come when you doubt yourself, just take a moment and try to see yourself through their eyes.
With Love,
Mimi
P.S. Yeah…I’ve still got some swag made up. :-) Send a note to

I wanted to come up with something cute to say to everyone, like thank you for being so “f-abulous” or “f-antastic,” but I just couldn’t find a good antonym for the word fugly. Falluring? Fawesome? See. It doesn’t work!
So I’ll just give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s always there to help me make these books!
To my hubby and kids who never stop showing their love and support and who bring me coffee in the morning.
To my critique partner, Kylie Gilmore, who always drops what she’s doing to take a read when I’m under the gun.
To my beta-beauties, Dali, Ally, and Bridget, for making time in their busy lives to provide wonderful, and sometimes very entertaining, feedback!
And one final thanks to Team Mimi: Su (another fabulous cover, woman!), Latoya, Pauline, Stef, and Jan!
From my heart, I thank you!
Mimi

Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is a New York Times & USA Today best-selling author of Paranormal and Contemporary Romance. Her books have been #1 genre sellers around the world. Both traditionally and independently published, Mimi has sold over 600,000 books since publishing her first title in 2012, and she plans to spontaneously combust once she hits the one million mark. Although she obtained her international MBA and worked for over 15 years in the corporate world, she believes that it’s never too late to come out of the romance closet and follow your dream.
When not screaming at her computer or hosting her very inappropriate radio show (Man Candy Show on Radioslot.com), Mimi spends time with her two pirates in training, her loco-for-the-chili-pepper hubby, and her rat terrier, DJ Princess Snowflake, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
She continues to hope that her books will inspire a leather pants comeback (for men) and that she might make you laugh when you need it most.
