Gitte and Jenny. You were the first to ever take a chance on me. I can’t thank you enough. Love you.

  My IG girls. You can be summed up in three words: fun, amazing, fabulous.

  And now my readers. We have been on one hell of a journey these past two years. But in you, I have the best cheerleading squad a person can ask for. Love you. Let’s keep trucking.

  And finally, to Luka, my Russian boy, my RAZE. You tortured me to give your story life. I resisted, but you broke me down.

  I’m forever glad that you did.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Tillie Cole hails from a small town in the Northeast of England. She grew up on a farm with her English mother, Scottish father, and older sister, and a multitude of rescue animals. As soon as she could, Tillie left her rural roots for the bright lights of the big city.

  After graduating from Newcastle University, Tillie followed her professional rugby player husband around the world for a decade, becoming a teacher in between and thoroughly enjoying teaching high school students social studies for seven years.

  Tillie has now given up the nomadic rugby life, settling in her forever home where she is finally able to sit down and write (without the threat of her husband being transferred), throwing herself into fantasy worlds and the fabulous minds of her characters.

  Tillie writes romantic comedy, contemporary romance, dark romance, young adult, and new adult novels and happily shares her love of alpha-male leading men (mostly with muscles and tattoos) and strong female characters with her readers.

  When she is not writing, Tillie enjoys nothing more than strutting her sparkly stuff on a dance floor (preferably to Lady Gaga), watching films (preferably anything with Tom Hardy or Will Ferrell—for very different reasons!), listening to music, or spending time with friends and family.
