The Invitation by Vi Keeland

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To you—The readers. Thank you for your support and excitement. Life has thrown us all some challenges lately, and I’m so grateful you allow me to provide you an escape for a short while. I hope you’ve enjoyed Hudson and Stella’s love story, and you’ll come back again to see who you might meet next!

To Penelope—The last few years have been a wild ride, and there is no one I’d rather be buckled in with.

To Cheri—Thank you for your friendship and support. Book friends are the best friends!

To Julie—Thank you for your friendship and wisdom.

To Luna—Life is like a book—it’s never too late to write a new story, and I’ve enjoyed watching each of your exciting chapters unfold. Thank you for your friendship.

To my amazing Facebook reader group, Vi’s Violets—20,000 smart women who love to talk books together in one place? I’m one lucky girl! Each and every one of you is a gift. Thank you for being part of this crazy journey.

To Sommer—Thank you for giving Hudson and Stella’s story a face with your beautiful design.

To my agent and friend, Kimberly Brower—Thank you for being there always. Every year brings a unique opportunity from you. I can’t wait to see what you dream up next!

To Jessica, Elaine, and Julia—Thank you for smoothing out the all the rough edges and making me shine!

To all of the bloggers—Thank you for inspiring others to take a chance on me. Without you, there would be no them.

Much love
